I'll put a vote in for an Antec NSK2400 (=89 NZ$310=20
)=20

The case is pretty quiet, and comes with a power=20
supply.  Only fits mATX boards so that'll limit=20
your number of drives and capture cards.

I've got one with a Athlon64 3200+, Gigabyte mATX=20
M/B, GeForce 7300 PCI-e card, a Zalman CNPS7000B=20
cooler, and a Seagate hard drive.  It's quiet=20
enough for late night watching in the bedroom.
