[mythtv-users] Cool ATX cases

[Shane Hetzel]

The Antec Sonata is pretty sexy for a tower, as mentioned earlier. However,
Antec just started shipping the Overture a couple weeks ago, which is a
desktop, 17" wide, fits a full size ATX motherboard and full-height PCI
cards.

Pretty sweet-looking. Apparently it also has rubber moutings for the hard
drive (to reduce vibration transfer to the case) and comes with an
ultra-quiet 380W power supply.


The drawbacks? I guess it almost 20" deep, so make sure you have a shelf
that goes back that far. Also, I'm not sure how good the airflow is in
there, so I wouldn't overclock if I were you. Shipping at newegg isn't free
on this item, making the total price a bit high ($118), but not too bad
considering the power supply. I'd look around for better pricing, though.
You never know until you look. Read some reviews too and make sure you can
live with it.


Although I've got a Chaintech 7NIF2 uATX as well, I'll be ordering one of
these next week for my new system (and get it out of it's crap case). So
please don't all go out and run every vendor out of stock. Leave at least
one for me.
