[mythtv-users] Smallest, cheapest case?

[Bradley Bell]

I suspected there would be a few "issues"  - doesn't sound like anything too problematic, especially since I now have a dremel :)
The motherboard should be a perfect fit, I think.

    I bought one of these cases for my MythTV system.  It's a well built case and 
    comes with a good power supply.  However it wasn't designed for just any 
    micro-ATX motherboard.  The I/O shield slot doesn't fit a standard ATX shield 
    so I had to pull out my dremel and make it bigger.  Also the motherboard 
    spacers/screw points are nonremovable so you'll have to tape over or cut off a 
    few of them.  Your motherboard must also be no larger then 7.5"x9.5" or you 
    will probably run into problems.
