Does this sounds like a good HTPC system?

[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 39426, member: 10723"] I have used the LC11 silver one time for a HTPC i have set up for a friend. it is a nice, case but there are flaws. 1. you need to use the riser card -> 2x PCI and 1xAGP. 2. build in Power supply (have a look at the images on the website.) a few weeks ago i have used the LC16M for an other friend. the case is big, but: x you can use ordinary ATX power supplys (best one with a big fan -> nearly noiseless) x you can add as much Cards as slots are on your mainboard x you can use the display that comes with the case x you can add a big low noise system fan. For the system itself i suggest a AMD Athlon64 CPU and a nforce4 board. if you are going to use the s-video out i wouldnt use onboard grafics. i have never seen one with a good TV-out. do not buy something because its cheap, you may regret it when you switch it on the first time. Better invest more money into quality and flexibility one time, to avoid headaches. [/QUOTE]
