Yup. Windows Media Edition. Will play DVD's, MP3, JPG CD, TV, HDTV,
AM, FM, Record TV plus I can even listen to streaming audio if I am
real desperate (good for sport).

You can do all those things until Microsoft decides you're not allowed
to, anyway.

Have you thought about the fan noise??

Cheers.

Yup. I have access to some fanless designs. You can also get some
pretty quiet fans nowdays. My current lifestyle unit has a fan.

Go visit HTPCnews.com IMO this is the definitive source for all things
HTPC. You'll find tons of case options in, forum threads, reviews,
pictures, etc...

I purchased my case from www.digitalconnection.com. However, I noticed
they dumped off a lot of custom case makers lately in favor of the
generic silverstone stuff.

www.newegg.com is starting to expand their selection quite a bit.
Check them out.
