If you are considering that Coolermaster case, you should also look at the
M350:

Combine with a Mini-ITX motherboard and Pico-PSU (or motherboard with
built-in PSU like ZOTAC IONITX-A-U) and you get a totally silent front-end
with a Vesa mount.

Be aware that neither the Coolermaster or the M350 cases allow you to use an
expansion card.

If you are willing to put up with PSU fan noise, then you can buy the
Foxconn or Revo for less money than a separate Atom/ION motherboard with
case.

Hope that helps...
