[mythtv-users] Antec Aria Cases

[Stephen Atkins]

Yes it is huge but thats why I have it hidden in my huge entertainment
center.  But thats only because I built it my self.  For any other place in
the house I plan on using the the second case that uses the mini-atx mother
board.  Its almost half the size.

As for the blue LED I love it.  I even went so far as to get a fan
controller with a blue led to match it (it goes in the 3.5 slot).  I also
replaced the back fan with a blue LED fan so now there is a neet blue glow
all over the living room.  The only problem is I can't find silver or
aluminum covers for my dvd/cdroms.  If anyone knows where I can find one
please let me know.  Or maybe a paint that won't melt the plastic.

I have the Antec Overture as well(the first one he linked to), it's very
nice looking, though there are two things I would warn people about it -
it's frickin' HUGE, and it has an obnoxious blue power LED.  It's
reasonably quiet with the supplied PSU and case fan though, and more or
less blends in with the rest of the entertainment center, except for the
fact that it's HUGE.
