Recommendation for htpc case

[paulkaielder]

Hi Guys

I have openelec running on atv very happy with it. I saw these cases and I really like the look of them, you add an itx board which could be an atom or you could make it a more powerful using an itx board with u2 or i5 processor. The case is called a Wesena itx 7, just wondered what peoples thoughts are

Hi paulkaielder,

This does look like a good case. It's always good to see them made of metal - they're usually a better build quality.

With a built in optical drive and MCE IR reciever, this case has got pretty mcuh everything you could need in an HTPC case. It's not bad looking either, is it?

Unless you need the power for something specific, I would use one of the ION boards. They're quiet, consume little power and they can handle video up to 1080p. There are a couple listed in the hardware lists already. Just some food for thought
