[mythtvnz] case for mini itx FE solution

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi All,

 I've been reading the list for quite some time, lurking behind the
screen. I search the archives (of both the NZ and general list) and
haven't found a good answer yet.
My current FE is on its last legs (hardware errors around video card
mainly, some issues with booting) and before it goes I would like to
build a new one. The first one was build a bit as an experiment using
pretty much random components, but since the rest of the family got
used to the 'record and watch later'  there is no coming back ;-) (and
the WAF is quite high atm, don't want it to drop due to hardware
failures)
Since random (and ugly) is not an option for our lounge any more (so I
was told), I started looking for something more 'aesthetically
pleasing'  options (and not too loud either).
The idea is that I'll use the ZOTAC ion-itx motherboard (either A or D
variant, depending on the case power supply options
http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=10270
) and use pxe to boot it over the network from the BE. The CPU
together with GPU should have enough grunt to pull even 1080p and the
GUI (please correct me here if I'm wrong).

The only problem is finding the right case for it.
I found the Nexus Psile case
(http://www.psile.com/index.php?page=catalog_details&CID=1 ) but i'm
not sure if it can take any internal IR receiver (I've asked the
manufacturer, but no reply so far).
Then I had a look at mCubed HFX Micro M2
(http://www.mcubed-store.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=257
), but it weights quite a lot, and shipping it over here looks a bit
pricey. Besides - I don't think I need all that heat dissipation
capability with the Intel Atom on board.

I had a look at some of the Silverstone cases and they look quite
nice, but I'm not sure about the IR receivers either (and the ML02
doesn't really appeal to me).

Hence the question - what case would/do you use for the mini-itx board
that seats in the lounge?

kind regards
Pshem
