[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 369840, member: 25562"] Can you fit your HTPC behind the TV? If you can set it on its side like a tower and fit a bracket into the TV mount bracket, you could arrange it so that the optical drive is nearly flush with the side of the TV. Then you wouldn't see the client machine, but it would be easily available. Of course this would work best with a slot-style optical drive rather than the tray. Alternately you could go with an external DVD drive (or get a case to mount your current drive as an external) mounted like that behind the TV, then run the cable into the cupboard. Let us know how this works out. I have been thinking that if I had a little more cash to switch to a smaller case or a laptop client, I would like to mount it behind my display. There's a good 3 to 5 inches of space behind the TV and the wall on the mounting bracket I use. [/QUOTE]
