Also, was it not possible to install heat sinks in the Silverstone LC02?
P.S. What is WAF?
Thanx, Anil Gupte

I have given myself the challenge of fitting a fully self-contained myth box (mini-itx board, tuner card, HDD, optical drive, etc.) into the form factor of my mini separates (8.5" width, no taller than 3.5"). I wanted something completely fanless, and that would not look out of place in the living room.
I looked long and hard at the Silverstone LC02 as a compromise (not half-width, but definately WAF), but in the end have embarked on building a case from scratch, using a couple of hefty heatsinks as the side panels, using heatpipes salvaged from a passive VGA cooler kit to direct the heat away from the CPU/northbridge. Maybe I should start selling them commercially if the first model works well :)

Any suggestions on manufacturers of boxes that look good? Basically, a nice looking horizontal PC. I would prefer not to build my own, because it has been more than 10 years since I did, but I could. I understand the VIA motherboards have some special characteristics that make them attractive for PVRs. Are there boxes that use that use that motherboards? Any thoughts welcome.
