[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 40251, member: 18181"] As far as specs go, your system looks ok. The 5200 won't do HDTV but it's fine for everything else. I'm using a full size ATX board in my HTPC. Just remember unless you don't mind losing card slots the case *is* going to be large. And better looking cases aren't cheap. My Thermaltake Bach is the largest component in my system but it does look pretty nice. There are some smaller cases that take a full size ATX board. The CM Media 260 looks pretty nice. You might have to use a low profile CPU cooler if you get too small.
