[mythtv-users] motherboard in custom case

Ok, now for something completely different...
In order to make my myth box look externally look like any other
piece of my audio gear, I've managed to dig up an onkyo cd
player that, while still functional, was pretty much worthless.
I've taken the whole thing apart and hope to build up a
completely custom box, hoping to use the LCD area for
some kind of clock/timer function, the remote sensor for
an actual lirc-driven IR receiver and the cd slot for a dvd r/w
drive.
My problem is that there doesn't appear to be enough room
for a power supply. Other than that, does anyone have
any specific experience with the VIA or EPIA? I've got
about 9.5" x 9x5" to house the mobo. I figure I can just
do an external power supply. I don't need tons of disk
space, as I plan to nfs mount the drive where the recordings
will be stored. I'm also concerned about compatibility
with on-board sound and a pvr-250/350, on-board
networking support, and maybe even the cpu.
Thanks,
Paul
