If Rowland made PC cases.....


Actually I dont think I have ever seen a Rowland amp in the flesh, but I am told the casework is gorgeous.

Further to PC audio, can anyone recommend suppliers for cases and components in order to build a media center PC that would look at home in any ultra high end system?

Would you recommend a tower configuration? Or horizontal "home theatre PC" configuration?

When I was thinking HTPC, I stared long and hard at the A-Tech cases--http://www.atechfabrication.com--especially the Heatsink 6000. No fans, nice and quiet.

I decided I didn't want to really do video, tho', so instead I bought a little Serener headless PC-- http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/49/products_id/372. Its fanless, and the spinpoint drives are dead silent. I've got it hooked up to my Waveterminal and it pulls audio files off my terastation. Since there is no monitor/mouse/keyboard, I use a Viewsonic Airpanel--a 10" touchscreen--to run a remote terminal session. Works great--I can sit on my couch and have touchscreen access to all my collection...
Edesilva,
That is a great solution you've got.

It got me wondering about if I could use my Treo 650 phone and bluetooth as a remote, and I found this:

where someone is wondering the same thing, and software is suggested.

Update: the Treo solution doesn't seem to work well, I gathered from later posts.
