Has anyone else got suggestions for DIY casings, perhaps camera casings or old vhs cases whatever?

If you want to kill a few hours, check out http://www.mini-itx.com.  Users submit homemade mini ITX cases.  Some of these are 'off da hook'.  The frame on the right side of the page has a list of user-submitted cases.  Check 'em out!

Just an update-  the VoomPC case is pretty loud with the CPU fan as well as the case fan running.  I bought 4 new 40mm case fans to try, and they are all way louder than acceptable for a media PC.

Disconnecting the case fan makes a huge difference, but then the CPU idles at 50 degrees C, higher than I'm comfortable running. When running like that the case gets warm to the touch, but not bad. I'm concerned about cooking the hard drive too though.

I'm looking in to getting a heat-pipe for it.

i couldn't believe how hard it was to find a cheap case on the streets.
I had to settle for a knife-rack of all things. Now I have to skin it with thick foil.
