Od full ATX kučišta koja se trenutno mogu kupiti u nas po meni je najbolje Sliverstone LC17.
Cijena mu je 700-800Kn, ima 2x80mm venta na ispuhu, položaj za napajanje je takav da vuče hladni zrak izvana i tako uvijek ostaje hladno i TIHO. Ima dva kaveza za diskove s tim da ako izbaciš srednji kavez dobijaš mogućnost ugradnje dodatnog 120mm venta za usis i slobodan si ugraditi i najdužu grafičku. Kućište ima odličan potencijal za slaganje highend gaming/HTPC konfe ali ako ideš na samo HTPC opciju možeš složiti super tihu i hladnu konfu.
Što se tiče daljinskog najbolja opcija je Soundgraphov IMON. Dolazi u više varijanti ovisno da li je reciever vanjski ili unutrašnji, podržava MCE i košta oko 300-400Kn tako da za ukupno 1000-1200Kn imaš sve riješeno...
Drugo rješenje bi bio Silverstone LC16 koji već ima ugrađen IMON reciever i daljinski, dolazi sa ugrađenim VFD lcd ekranom ali mu je i cijena zato paprenih ~1800 Kn a zbog centralno postavljenog optičkog uređaja nema mogućnost ugradnje dugih grafičkih kartica tako da je po meni (iako je samo kučište stvarno atraktivno) lošiji izbor.

At first glance
I probably appear to be a somewhat ordinary,
somewhat average looking fellow.
Calm, harmless, at ease.
But this is by design.
You see, it is through decades of research and rigorous training that I have crafted this façade of normalcy.
And now, through intense concentration,
I am able to function in a social setting.
I can speak at length with educated people about
pertinent matters of public importance,
such as literature,
or the current political climate in Europe.
I am capable of conversing with you
without ever revealing that just underneath the surface
of this manufactured veneer
there hides an altogether different person.
A monster, some might say.
My alter-ego.
He is the opposite of the image I project.
He is the antithesis of Cool.
He is the LAST person you want to get trapped in a conversation with.
He is The Geek.
The obsessive science fiction movie watching,
comic book collecting,
Monty Python dialogue memorizing,
Dungeons and Dragons playing GEEK
that I struggle daily to keep hidden from the world.
But The Geek Wants Out.
He want to talk to you.
He wants to give you his doctoral dissertation on why
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
is the greatest fucking film of all time!
He wants to bitch slap you because
you’ve never seen Big Trouble in Little China.
What? Have you been living in a fucking cave?!
He wants to kick your ass in Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.
And he will.
Because he’s a fucking Geek.
And he wants his toys.
He wants the complete set
in mint condition,
still in the box.
He wants every item on the planet that is even remotely related to Ultraman.
Because Ultraman is Airwolf!
He could give a squirt of piss
about sports or politics or rhetoric.
Such things are of no consequence to him.
What matters is the release date of the next Lord of the Rings movie!
You see, The Geek can’t wait.
The Geek has no patience.
He wants what he wants when he wants it.
And all he wants is stupid shit!
He wants his own Tardis.
He wants his own light saber.
He wants to buy a DeLorean and he wants to drive it 88 miles per hour.
He wants movies.
He wants to see the Director’s Cut.
He wants the impossible to find Japanese bootleg with
6 minutes of never-before-seen footage.
He wants to watch Blade Runner. Again.
He wants to watch Brazil. Again.
He wants to watch A Clockwork Orange.
Again and Again!
But I deprive him of these things, as best I can,
until I can no longer ignore his voice
screaming in my head.
I am Jekyl. He is Hyde.
I am Bruce Banner. He is the Hulk.
Especially the Hulk from issues #272 to #378.
But no longer!
I am putting a stop to all this nerdy shit right now!
I’m an adult, for Christ’s sake!
And this body isn’t big enough for the both of us.
One of us has to go, and it’s gonna be him.
I banishing the Geek forever to the Phantom Zone,
just like in Superman II !
Because, in the end –
there can be only one.
