    I'm looking at getting a new computer, but I want something specific, down to the style case it's in. Is there a way to search for particular case styles on any site? I don't want a traditional computer / desk / monitor, etc. I want something that has the shape of an audio receiver, and would have HDMI out, so I can put it in my entertainment center, and hook it to my TV for a monitor.

    A friend of mine has a case like this, but if I talk to him too much about it, he'll try and sell me his, which isn't up to the specs I'm looking for. LOL

    Thanks guys.

    For the HDMI out, you just need an ATI video card. The HDMI on the 58xx series has audio and video.

    What you are referring to is called a HTPC (Home Theatre PC) case as defined on the newegg page header. If you use that as a reference term, ie HTPC CASE you will start to generate more "desirable outcomes".

    Heya Digerati.
