Well priced barebones system. Great for HTPC on a budget. All components work great with Linux/Mythtv. I've used this case for 5 different Media Center PC's I've built all with great results. Two PCI slots for dual tuner cards, whole host of video output options - DVI (works great with DVI-HDMI adaptor) S-video and even standard component out for older TVs, Digital Optical audio out, parred with a low wattage 45w AMD chip - Very Very Quiet.
ASUS T3-M2NC51PV AMD Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Barebone
Sleek, stylish, compact, but packed with features. The T3-M2NC51PV has the qualities to make it agreat general purpose system, plus the good looks and audio specs to be the hub of your living room media center. Supporting AMD's Athlon X2, Athlon 64FX and Athlon 64 there's a processor available to meet your needs. Four 240 pin slots handle up to 4GB of DDR2 667/800 memory.

Great size. Comes with SATA RAID, E-SATA, 1394, graphics (low-end, GeForce 6150), DVI, 8 channel audio, 6-in-1 card reader, 7 USB ports and event a giant CPU cooler. All the ports you need most are convinently located in the front. Nicely designed case. Took me only 15 minutes to install the rest stuff and make it work. SATA RAID very easy to configure. GREAT PRODUCT!!

Small, quiet and fast... if you use the right parts. I used an AMD 45W X2 cpu and a Gigabyte 8500 passive cooled PCIE video and I'm able to do some decent gaming. Maybe not top end but the video handles my 24"" LCD just fine. Best part my cpu never gets hotter than 30C and checking the video card, it was cool to the touch after hours of gaming. Also I used good Kingston memory at 2.0v and thats stays cool too.
MSI MBOX 945GM3-F Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel 945G Barebone
The MSI MBOX 954GM3-F is a stable performer with a choice set of features. With Socket T support for Intel's Core 2 Duo processors and 2 memory slots for up to 2GB of RAM the motherboard provides a solid platform for your current and future needs.
1 PCI-E x16 slot and 3 PCI slots provide plenty of internal expandability and the four SATA 2/3.0Gb/s headers and the ATA-100 header give you room for lots of drives. Eight channel audio, integrated Intel GMA950 video, USB 2.0 and Gigabit ethernet round out features in this system. It's all packaged in a handsome silver and black case with a ducted port to the outside over the CPU.
