[mythtv-users] Suggestion for a NICE case if you are
looking<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have been in search of a nice
looking case for my MythBox and I found one I really like so I thought I would
share.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I wanted a case that the Wife
would like, that doesn't look out of place among traditional home theater gear
etc, that was less than 4in high, that accepted micro-ATX or full ATX mobos,
and FULL Height PCI cards.</SPAN></FONT></P>

Technologies and bought it.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It is pricey ($150 bucks from
NewEgg.com) but it met all my other conditions so I said "what the
hell"</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It uses PCI riser cards to accept
full-height PCI cards and has the ability to use 2 PCI cards on the risers OR
1 PCI and 1 AGP</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">**Also note that it requires the
use of a slim optical drive. Which can be found for around $55 US for Slim DVD
ROM</SPAN></FONT></P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=961292215-14012004>I'm
guessing you're still waiting on the case to ship to you. I'd be really
interested in hearing how it goes once you get it. Now I'm torn between
this and that coolermaster 620 case I've been waiting on
getting.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=961292215-14012004>On
that page above it says PCI x1, AGP x1. How did you find out you can use 2
PCI on the risers?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

think the 220W p/s will be good enough for a pvr250, sblive, hdd and slim
dvd-r?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
