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!
