Discussions about HTPC Cases, Power Supply Units and general system cooling
To my knowledge Zalman don't make any smaller cases. Check out Silverstone GD01MX or Antec Fusion Remote for a smaller case with an LCD. The smaller cases have limited (1 or 2) internal drive bay capacities. If you're looking for the smallest then ditch the LCD/VFD altogether and go for an ITX based case and system, and build a...

Oh, that's just accidental after browsing the web :)
I think I am at the point of buying the Case, Videocard and HDD. The remote and TV-card have to wait because i haven't decided wait to buy yet. I saw some treads about harmony remote's so maybe I will ask for info there.

Thanks for the antec P-options but sadly the are to big for the tv-cabinet. (max 17cm high), The NSK can't house a full ATX motherboard. If I will go to Micro-atx then I will buy the GD05 from Silverstone. But that doesn't support ATX motherbord. So this is also no option...

It doesn't run hot at the moment, even with the fans running very slowly and it's only got a standard AMD OEM heatsink on the cpu (with a Noctua fan grafted on). With a bigger heatsink I reckon I'd _almost_ get away with turning the fans off completely, but the inside of the...

I have the remote working completely. There was nothing special to do: I updated iMon software, the first update was a downloadable zip file. I had to remove the iMon version delivered with Antec case first, then installed the newer version.
iMon updated automatically (I set the updates on) to the newest version.

I just built a system using this case and I love it so far.... my old case was a Zalman HD 135, which I liked, but the Moncase with its low-profile truly looks like a high-end CE DVD player that doesn't stand out among the other HT devices on the TV stand.
I didn't use the built-in IR receiver, because I had an external MCE receiver...

Im thinking of treating my Box to some silent case fans, and am unsure between the Scythe and the Noctua (both are the same price here in AU). The Scythe is rated at 2500rpm and the Noctua at 1800 but I would probably run them at less. Anyone had any experience with either model? Thoughts/ideas on which would be best (quietest, best...

I have been relatively happy with my Cooler Master CM 280 (hard to find now). I am thinking about changing the fans I have in it (or at least under-volting them). The case is not for everyone. It is tall. Tall enough to have a 120mm exhaust fan located above the motherboard (not simply the side of the case like the Antec ones, though...

Well. All is good.
The VFD now works and the foil between two bits of cardboard wrapped in tape is blocking the signal from the hauppage remote so, no more double commands every key press.
Thanks to Kiwijunglist for the info that led me to solving this problem.

I've got an S14V and the fans are near silent. In total there are 5 fans running: 2 Origenae exhaust fans, Origenae HDD fan, the power supply fan, the CPU fan on a Ninja Mini, and frankly my blu-ray drive is louder than any of them.

Thanks for all the suggestions. That GD02 is a nice looking case. In the end I went for a Silverstone LC04. It's a tiny bit smaller at 31 cm deep and only 11cm high, but it still takes a full size OD and had no trouble fitting all my components. Plus I got an amazing deal on the case and I saved more cash because the included PSU...

with a nice case that just fits in the hole (antec micro fusion) , ikea bonde bench, there is the same problem, not a lot of room down the sides.
however, ikea bonde bench is not too expensive and if you don't mind taking the saw to it as I did... you can mount a couple of uber-quiet Yate Loon 140mm fans in the back of the bench...
