[mythtv-users] Attractive cases

I think the advantages of the Silverstone cases is they have so
many options when it comes to size, expansion, and looks. For
example, Silverstone offers the only HT-style case I found that
supports 3 full-height expansion slots (1xAGP, 2xPCI) in a low-profile
design, such as the LC-11M, which is also very quiet.
Not everyone wants those boxy-like Shuttle cases, or the
full-size monster PC cases, like the Aristec HT-400 with 6+ expansion
slots in their home-theater. 

No one would ever buy a TiVo that big,
so why make my own that big?
