"Custom" HTPC :drool:

[Archer]

This is what an HTPC should be imo. Maybe I'll make one, any other takers? (ignore the fact that I want a new desktop case first, sigh)
I would however not have the screen (thats what the TV is for!), make it mATX (so its narrower) and probably leave out the drive tray too to make it lower. Also, $800 for a case... :erm: how about no

HTPC? I don't know... to me an HTPC needs another form factor. I like the ones that look kind like a Bower&Wilkens old fashioned amp. It should look classy. Like this:

That Steiger case is an awesome gaming design though.

One screen is enough actually.

I still don't know why there isn't a image size limit on the forum, or at least have that the forum resizes the image smaller.

I'm not sure how to resize properly actually.

I'm not sure how to resize properly actually.

On Windows and Linux there are literally thousands of programs you can use to do this. I normally just use Gimp as it's always installed.

On OS X you can do this directly from the default image viewer.

This site is so much nicer with images & avatars turned off. You can then choose what comes up on screen.

I've got an Antec HTPC case which has a big volume knob, VFD and is made from brushed aluminium. I don't see the point really, I'd rather have a nice HT receiver and have the player nested behind the flat planel or something.

Nevaaaah!

Can't stand it when people don't use image tags. Hate having to click through.

Yeah but I can do this:

And not have a screen full of troll faces.

Personally I'm a big fan of Origin Ae chassis. Similar look to this and just as expensive.

I just quoted your troll faces!

They're pretty.

I know I'm just linking to the URL though.

You could always use Google image search and just drag the original image in and get similar ones, like this one:
