Lian Li PC-Q07
This is a pretty hot little case as it's a mini-ITX form factor that utilizes a full sized ATX power supply. I know most of you are familiar with the build quality of Lian Li that is pretty well unmatched, so add the fact that it's $44.99 with free shipping and that should seal the deal if you're looking to build a media center pc or something along those lines.
This was $49.99 about a month ago, but the deal is back and $5 cheaper. If I didn't have a Macbook Pro and a PS3 laying around with nothing better to do than stream movies to my TV then I would pick this up in a heartbeat!

Would make a nice little Mini-ITX/AMD build for a small headless media/email server for my house. Might entertain the thought.
Unfortunatly Dell just today released a pre-built that Imight actually consider for such a job. It's called the Dell Zino HD for $229.
Would be a nice windows media/email server for my house. I'm about 2 clicks away from ordering it. The extra $60 in shipping and tax gives me a little heartburn though. _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.

Yeah, I read about that Zino earlier today and it looks to be quite the little HTPC. My only reservation is the onboard graphics, although the alternative ATI 4330 should be capable of 1080p playback with hardware-accelerated video apps. _________________ Failure is just success rounded down.

I would just use it to feed the pS3 and be my email relay for the house. 250GB for the HDD is a little small for that purpose but I imagine its an easy upgrade to 1+ TB. _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.
