Discussions about HTPC Cases, Power Supply Units and general system cooling
I have a mozart htpc case which has the same VDU and remote, it took 30min to setup using a thread from this forum but I cant seem to find the link to it now. The thread has the instructions for both remote and VDU as well as the key mapping file for Imon.
Someone should be able to point you to the thread:)

Cases without PSU bays but with loads of drive space and expansion slots are well into custom build territory. The closest you'll get off the self are the Fractal Array NAS or some of the Lian-Li cases, which have SFX or ATX PSU bays, but are tiny for what they hold.

I built an HTPC on using the Thermaltake DH-101, MediaHD IR Display and remote with a dual Core CPU on an Asus P5N7A-VM(HDMI) motherboard. I installed the Hitatchi 1TB Sata Drive, with a separate 40GB Drive for the Operating System and a BlueRay-HD-DVD Burner. I find the Thermaltake case extremely well designed and the finish and...

That said I have ha dmine for 3 weeks and I still have a burning desire to get the Logitech Harmony 680 remote - it just looks so good. I also have a...

You can also hack/mod a case by drilling a small hole and placing an MCE IR receiver behind it.

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 the tip... I noticed a bit of debris in one of the PSU case screws, so I loosened it and tightened the screw down... now all I hear (with the PC cover off) is the faint whirl of the fans.

I was able to get a phone number for Zalman and was able to talk to a person that admitted they are having issues with their forums not giving out confirmation emails. He also expidited my RMA and I should have the part any day. If this doesn't work I will just RMA it through Newegg.

Hi,
I have recently built an HTPC based on an Antec Fusion V2 (Silver) case with a VFD/sensor.
Quite honestly, and I think you'll find this is generally accepted, the VFD is a piece of s**t.
I have now taken the VFD out of the equation and replaced it with a Microsoft IR/Remote.
The V2 (Black) has an LCD instead of a VFD.
I...

Be careful with the LC20, I had over heating issues with this case, but I did have a big cpu and big GFX card inside the case, to handle 1080p media.
I also found the LC20 IR receiver and the harmony remotes were slow to respond.
In the end I dumped my LC20 and bought a bigger Silverstone case, and a MCE remote.
Make sure you...

I love the Silverstone cases. The main reason is becasue they have solved the problem with having a case that is too deep and either doesn't fit on an AV rack or under a TV.

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...
