geov,

i got the same case as Lone does and to answer your question , a full height PCI card fits nicely.

be aware that it accepts only a m-atx mobo and things can get a little tight. none the less a very nice case indeed.

Ppl. should also consider the NSK2400, price = fusion : 2 (here, anyway)

Key differences:
- "only" 380 W power (good, though)
- no stealth bay - but silver opticals look very nice in anyway (like NEC)
- not real alu (but nice plastic copy)
- no VFD - gives option for 2 x 5 1/4-drives

Wouldn't a stand alone player give better playback than the HTPC?

I must also note the other reason you pay the price you do for this case is for the quality of the fans in it. The fans on the side of the case are variable and somewhat quiet. The other biggie is the good quality quiet power supply thats comes with it as well, try and find a well priced power supply with its output and generally looking at around another $60 - $100 plus your case..

One thing worries me though; from what have seen posted in the forum there seems to be problems to get the included VFD to work with MP if you still want the volume knob and remote to function properly. How did you solve this?

I used the nsk2400 with the imon vfd from soundgraph mounted in the top 51/4 drive bay.

Everything including the remote and VFD and volume knob are running sweetly with MP. All the keys on the remote are programmed including My TV, My photo,etc thanks to help from these forums

is your picture pretty clear with the s-video hook up because I was looking at one of these here and I wanted to know how they were and how the picture quality was on a tube TV because thats what I have.
