My new Media Center PC

I have a new living room Media Center. Here are the specs:

  • SilverStone LC03 case
  • Intel P4 3.0
  • Asus motherboard w/digital out
  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 200 GB (ATA) & 300 GB (IDE) Seagate drives
  • ATI ATSC tuner
  • ATI Radeon x600 graphics card
  • 2 NTSC tuners (unsure brand and model)
  • Gyration keyboard and mouse
  • DVD burner


My feedback is really all about the case. It looks fine. But I hate how you have to open up the hinged covers to watch a DVD and plug in devices. I’d rather the case manufacturers find an elegant way to always make those connections and drives available. Personally, I wouldn’t buy a case that hides critical inputs behind covers. I also found it really hard to add an extra internal hard drive so I’d like to see the internal layout revisited.
