Not to big of a problem.  It couldn't get any louder than the tower PC I
have standing on the TV right now :)
Case mods is not a problem either.  I can handle that.  My biggest concern
is stability and video quality.

Sounds promissing.  The only thing I loose with this setup is a slot for my
wireless NIC.  Oh well.  Can't have it all I guess.
