[mythtv-users] Smallest, cheapest case?

[Vincent K. Britton]

Is this a quite case?

As for MB's with Onboard S-Video the only ones I know of are:

miniITX:

MicroATX:

Sincerely,
Vince

Yes, you can fit in full sized cards.  I am using the PVR-350 in it and 
there are no probs.  There is a bit of noise from the PSU in it, and I 
could always replace (though it looked smaller than a standard one).  
But the hum from it is actually kinda nice, and is white noise that I 
can go sleep to.  When the tv is on, that drowns oth the noise.  It is a

bit of a hassle fitting everything in there, but no biggy.  And the 
front side USB, Mic, and Speaker is pretty nice (hidden behind a panel).

Give it a shot, I like it.

Just looked over the page for that case, but couldnt tell... do "normal"

sized PCI cards fit in there? I have no problem buying an ultra-tiny 
motherboard... hey, theres a thought... anyone here come across a
microatx 
(or smaller?) motherboard that has a svideo out built in? My concern
with a 
small case is fitting PCI cards in there so I can have my svideo out.
