[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 274176, member: 72093"] Why not go for the cheapest, nastiest case and hide it? I use a couple of generic desktop cases (client and server in my case - pun, sorry) and they live inside cupboards. I don't need to SEE them, the MCE IR receiver is on string and on the rare occasion I watch a DVD I open the door, although that could be outside if wanted. The most obvious sign of my PCs is the IR receiver, and the keyboard and mouse (Microsoft 7000, slim, bluetooth, rechargeable and worth the stupid amounts of money it cost - £80, as unlike the 6 or so other wireless keyboards I've got it works at a good distance!) Although I have done the 'nice case' route it really doesn't fulfil any useful criteria - do you REALLY want to see the box? Heck, at one time I had PCs in wooden boxes (not cases) under the settee! Made the keyboards etc work really well as you were stuck on top of them. Bit warm in summer though...:) Oh, small plus - might make it quieter too., although you have to take note of heat issues.
