Too bad, very limited ang available options natin dito sa Pinas.

Sickboy....High end casing iyun' mga iya'n ; ang HTPC ay gaya nang gaming pc, ang importante ang nilalaman kayang patak-buhin ang i-la-laman.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang taste mo pero maraming labas ngayon na mga entry level casing sa Broadway Cyberzone(pero tatlo lang ata' ang shops..he-he) at sa Gilmore.

Pasyalan mo, baka ma-tripan mo rin.

Pero kung gusto mo talaga, may mga nag-i-import niyan sa TipidPC.

Di ko kaya mag import, bro. I can never force myself to spend that much for a casing when there are so many budget casings available.

Pero... san yun Broadway Cyberzone? Yan ba yun bagong mall sa Eastwood?

These are very nice casings if only price is no object. But I wouldn't spend that much on casing. Better spend on other things imo..

Ang Broadway Centrum ay ang GMA 7 satellite studio nasa Aurora Boulevard, Kaharap nang Mount Carmel Church sa New Manila, at katabi nang Gilmore Strip.

Magaganda nga if you have money to burn. Availability here in our shores is also another thing. Ako ok na sa i-Cute....ang cute ng presyo compared dyan sa mga casings na yan!!!

Anybody here using the Orient Slim 27 series? just wondering where to put the HDD... apparently the only slot I see for it is the floppy drive / card reader slot.... badtrip kasi walang intallation guide...

There are HTPC casings locally available, such as Antec NSK series and Fusion series ... it's a little bit pricey, but serves the purpose.

Just one note on HTPC's, there was an earlier post mentioning that what matters is what's inside the case - this is only partly true for HTPC requirements due to following reasons -

1. If you are installing the HTPC on an AV rack, most standard PC casing (even the mini-casing) may not fit an AV rack - AV rack shelves are usually limited to less than 10-inch in height.
2. You do not really need a very powerful PC for an HTPC - what you need is a motherboard or a graphics card with HD video acceleration capability and a big HDD capacity to store your contents - not much processing power is required

There is a Zalman HTPC casing being sold at COMMDAPP at SMX for P32k. Touch screen interface, remote and casing only.

Dun nga nakalagay yung HDD ko. Sakto naman dun. Problem isang HDD lang kasya.
Sa akin ok lang kasi ng mga MKV files ko nasa external HDD eh!
Kung makakakita ka ng cradle para mag fit dun sa dvd drive bay mas ok sana.

Hehehe Ganda nga... presyo na ng isang HTPC hehehehe o kya ng NMT na meron at least 1.5Tb.

Bro nakita ko na... kailangan pala i-diassemble yung 3.5" bay para maikabit yung HDD... may 2 screws sa harap, tabi ng usb ports pag tinangal yun, you can pull out the 3.5" bay... then you can mount the HDD at the back of the USB ports... bale Optical Drive sa taas HDD sa gitna at Floppy/card reader sa baba...

pinahirapan ako ng maker ng case na to.... took me 2 days to figure it out...

There are now entry level Thermaltake casings in Gilmore. Really nice looking,and affordable.

albert_b · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 01, 2010 at 06:12 PM »
