Actually looking at the others now

Seems a bit better, with the larger fans should be quieter (at stock/slowed down or if I replace them) there's the M version with VFD- but I rarely if ever view VFD on a CD/DVD player, unless the VFD allows non display use for music playback? What about the IR receiver? Works with the MS MCD remote? Does it come with remote transmitter, or just the VFD has a IR receiver?
Cases width are identical to my HT gear, depth and height is a bit more but currently I have two DVD players which this will replace, so total space is about the same. I guess lots of storage would be ideal since it'll be used for music library. Already have most bits so I just need case, PSU, soundcard with digital out (DD/DTS out) MS remote. Already have 106S DVD-ROM, 104 and 107 DVD-Writers so will work out which is the quietest. 20GB laptop drive for boot drive but can always fit a larger SATA 3.5" later for mass storage. So £80 for case, £40 for PSU, £20 remote, £20-£50 for souncard.
