Antec and other case makers sell nice HTPC cases the size of DVD players that'll fit mATX motherboards with real processors in them.

This VIA crap is a novelty toy. It's meant for cash registers.

By the way, the motherboard/CPU combo was under 100 bucks.

Those are nice cases, I was going for size, however, ill consider it on the launch of my website.
