http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hmc-1x53x.html However they also now have a 2nd generation case: http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hmc-2k53a.html This looks like it ticks your boxes, VFD, optional IR module. And with the right customised back panel / motherboard you get DVI and component video output at the back. It is Hi-Fi separates width, so not small in width, but is very slim, the size of a thin height DVD player. No idea on how it noisy it will be, with such a small case there will be some fan noise, but the core duo 2's run pretty quiet. Not managed to find many places selling it in Europe though :( found one French site which appears to have the case, with MSI motherboard (socket 939, not intel) for 160 euros: http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/53446512/HIPER-HMC-2K53A-H1-MSI-K8NGM2-Barebone-Media-Center-avec-ecran-VFD-Ordinateur-de-bureau.html#info ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
