Hi,

I am looking to build a new, silent computer based on one of the VIA EPIA
motherboards.

But....Presently there are no decent cases readily available for it and it
seems that the price for the VIA EPIA + Case + Power Supply is sitting
solidly in the USD 500 area, regardless of which country one checks the
prices in.

I want cheaper than that!

Based on rumours that people have bought el-cheopo Linux based DVD players
below USD 100, one assumes that the VIA EPIA cards are shipping in consumer
boxes somewhere, providing power supply, case and DVD drive.

Which ones though!

Does anyone know?

I had a decent case though still way too big for 60$,
But since I was the only customer buying these cases
for months, my supplier threw it out of the list.

Did you have a look at :

If they don't have your case, at least they show some ideas.
