That is a very roomy HTPC case, I wonder if i could get a 4870 X2 to fit in there?

Nothing soon, I was just toying with the idea of building an htpc based gaming box.

Id love to snatch this up, but its as much as a high end Full Server Tower or Mid Tower Chassis. Hopefully it will be about 100 dollars lower in the US. I love it though.

It's nice and i am currently after a PC \ Laptop that uses real low power and this case is nice but $200 thats a day light robbery..

damn it, all the really nice htpc cases that I like always come with those displays that make 'em cost even more. I don't care about the display cuz I want to use the case for a DAW, and this case looks perfect for that, except it's steel.
