Business plan:
1. Build a lousy case, slap a small LCD panel on it.
2. Call it as a "media center" case and bump up the price by 500%.
3. Profit.

Too bad HTPC's are getting more and more difficult to set up and use. With everyone going to proprietary boxes for receiving their own signal (Concast, WOW, Direct TV, Dish, ATT Uverse) it is getting next to impossible to record anything but over the air HD. It's possible of course, but much harder.
