check out this case :) :

DIGN Home Theatre PC:
http://www.pccasegear.com/prod892.htm

its an Australian site, but they ship overseas.

I love this case, but its too costly for me.

If someone finds it somewhere else for cheaper please tell me.

That looks pretty nice but it is overpriced, converting it from AUD to USD puts it at around $390. Considering you can get this:

http://www.viperlair.com/reviews/cpu_mobo/msi/intel/mega651/mega651.shtml

for $280, which includes a mobo and alot more features/accessories. You could also get something in the Shuttle XPC line for under $300US.

But neither of these has the same look as the DIGN. You should try doing a search at the AVS forums (linked on the page you linked to at the bottom) for DIGN or D-VINE. As some people own the system and can tell you the do's and don'ts and maybe a good place to buy it.

thanks wmansir,

i had a look at the link, and i was very impressed. i had a look around, shops in Australia and online.

and the best price i could find for the MSI MEGAPC was: $675 AUD
and that converts to $443 USD.

i guess i could get it shipped to AUS from the US, but the power supply would be useless here, and I dont think you can just put any Power Supply into it.

will continue searching

holy shit!! who the hell would be the moron to pay anything over $150 for a friggin computer case? that damn thing has a 200w psu??? come on now. that case looks too nice to put a pentium 1 inside. a case is a damn case, some look nicer than others yeah, but you shouldn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for the way something looks.

i agree with you Hectic, but I think the reason they put a 200w Power supply is to eliminate noise, (they dont have to run the fan at high speeds). The Power Supply is designed to run any MicroATX case, that means AMD Althon, P4 etc just dont add more than 1 HDD and 1 CD/DVD drive. Also the cost includeds the LCD panel, remote, and licenced software.

But yeah its way toooooo expensive.
