[mythtv] A case that caught my eye

s/GHZ/GB/;
Hehe, yeah the drive screams!

I'll post something once I give Myth a try... Too much work lately to
play, I haven't even put the system together yet.

I got the barebones (SS50) from TigerDirect.  It was a special that
doesn't seem to be available anymore.  If you're in the SF Bay area,
Fry's (Palo Alto) has them for $199 also, otherwise Pricewatch lists
them starting @ $230 shipped.  The nice thing about this case is 2 PCI
slots vs 1 PCI + 1 AGP in newer models.  For my purposes I need 2 PCI
and don't need AGP.

The HDD at Frys (349 w/ 100 rebate).  Pricewatch - $256 shipped
DVD also Frys

The Ram from googlegear:

CPU from accubyte:

Could you link us where you bought these components?  And what case did
you get and how is it working for MythTV?

Also, 200GHZ is a FAST hard drive. :)
