Hey, that looks great. In Holland and Belgium you can buy BookPCs ( AFAIK:
http://www.bookpc.be/ ). Quite nice looking MiniATX cases, have a
CD/CD-R(W)/DVD-ROM, Celeron 1200 (PIII core). And fairly cheap, ~340 EUR
for a CD-ROM model, and ~450 EUR for top of the bill (more RAM, HD and a
DVD-ROM).
Half-height PCI tuner-cards do seem a problem though. They do exist, so you
probably, just need to search a little bit better.
