    On Discovery I saw where someone converted a computer case to a swiss army gaming console. It had a PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and like a super nintendo and a regular nintendo all in one box. It was rather impressive.

    The key to mods like that are the Via mini-itx motherboards and processors. Though slow compared to the best from Intel and AMD, they have enough horsepower for most users. Aside from the small form factor motherboards, the key is that the Via CPU's put out next to no heat. Though active cooling is usually preferable to passive cooling, a fan on the CPU heat sink isn't an absolute requirement.

    No problem at all. When going with Mini-itx machines, the creativity is really in how you package the machine. The CPU is soldered to the motherboard, so you won't be changing it. The motherboards come with integrated audio, video, and LAN. With just a single PCI slot, you don't have a lot of expandability. But the small footprint, and cool operating temperature allow you to do a lot of things.

    If you are interested in something with a little more flexibility, feel free to ask for advice. Though not as small or as cool running as mini-itx, mini-atx motherboards can run Intel or AMD processors, and have more expansion possibilities.

    In my opinion, mini-atx is perfect for Home Theater PCs. (I can even recommend an excellent case that will blend in with your stereo gear) Wherease mini-itx is perfect for having a computer in a place that you don't want it to look like you have a computer.

    Somewhere on collegehumor.com is a PC installed into an empty Bud Light 12 Pack Case instead of a normal computer case. Nothing real fancy, but a little cool nonetheless.

    I went to that website, and man o' man.....that shite is crazy funny. I think it is neat as hell, to think of new ideas for stuff like that.

    I would like to build one, in one of those mini-kegs of beer.......hmmmmm
