You can get the Antec NSK2480 from lynx-india for about 5.5k. Another nice cabinet is GlacialTech Altair A381 HTPC available with the same dealer.
As for the tuner, you may go for AverMedia that supports 1920x1200 resolution for Full HD and future proof. You check out the following link: http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=220388898244 |
