Most
of these photos show the insides of basic systems.
3 different chassis depending on budgets and needs, but I shop with the
customer for a more personalized choice.
Antec 300 more
info $60
Antec
Cases more
info $60~120 (most include power supplies)

The
Antec Minuet makes a good HTPC (Home Theater) or slim line home/work computer.
It uses standard
system boards allowing easy replacement / upgrades. Its body is piano
black. This is a home system.

This
is a custom built Slim-Line computer, it allows the use of many card types
and of course it can be
transferred to a larger case if needed. These make very good client-work
stations or HTPCs. This unit has
an ABIT motherboard, very nice board but ABIT has since gone out of business.

Here
is another system with an ASUS motherboard, the drive cage flipped open
for access.

Three
of thee systems ready for transport to an office.

I prefer
to use the Antec Solo for my standard computers. It has lots of room,
excellent cooling while being very quiet. The drives are exposed and easy
access to
USB, Firewire and audio ports. The power light looks nice. (review in
Gamer Section).
This chassis is about $100, empty. The body is either Piano black or Gloss
white.

Even
thou this system has a lighted-fan, its not built as a high end gaming
system.
