I'm in the US, on Time Warner cable, with 8 OTA stations I can view.
The boxy Shuttle form-factor seems a bit odd for a media center: I'd
prefer something that will stack nicely with my other system components.
After a bit more research, it seems rear case fans are OK, so long as
they are 70mm or larger. My HTPC will be on an open shelf, not in a
closed cabinet. I've seen several recommendations for the inexpensive
nMedia cases. I also don't need a graphical LCD display in the case,
though a 2-line VFD/LCD display would be useful. This case seems ideal
for under US$100 (+ $25 for the LCD): http://www.nmediapc.com/htpc2000.htm
I've looked for system builders who use this case, but none of the ones
I found offer nVidia cards!
