[QUOTE="Johnny Utah, post: 19166, member: 10944"] I have built an LC11 system using the MSI RS480M2-Il motherboard & have been extremely happy with it. Using an Athlon 64 3000+ with the stock heatsink, and with all of the other case fans unplugged, the system is virtually silent, and doesn't seem to have any overheating problems. Coupled with a Nova-T pci, and a hauppauge MCE-500, it allows me to record/watch Foxtel (via composite inputs), Digital FTA or analog FTA. The integrated graphics seems to do a pretty good job outputting to an EDTV Plasma (at 800 x 600) but doesn't seem to have a lot of options for tweaking/setting custom resolutions via Powerstrip (i.e no chance of setting 852 x 480 to match the native resolution) :( I have been using mine with a Netgear WG111 USB wireless adaptor to allow me to transfer files in/out, and download EPG guide etc. The 2 distributors for the Silverstone cases in Australia are [url=http://www.altech.com.au/default.asp]Altech[/url] and [url=http://www.westontech.com.au/]Weston Technology[/url]. From discussions I have had with the staff at Weston, they are expecting the risers to be in stock ~ August 15. Price for the card will be $50 ex GST. The best thing about the LC11 is that Silverstone have managed to rethink the design of the average case to allow a fully featured system in a unit that is not too muc larger than a standard VCR - all good as far as I'm concerned!
