If you were into that
Okoro OMS-LX100 HTPC we brought you the other day, but don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a machine just to get a snazzy embedded touchscreen, Zalman's got a new enclosure that will let you build your own system for considerably less dough. Sure to be the envy of all your home theater-fanatic buddies, the HD 160XT sports a 7-inch touchscreen for menu control, media information, and even video previewing, along with four open HDD bays, two optical drive slots, a pair of supposedly silent exhaust fans, and of course, the obligatory remote. Available in black or silver, we sure wouldn't mind building a system around this case and displaying it proudly in our gear rack, but unfortunately we have no idea when or where these will be available.

looks weird. like a 286 pc.
Am I the only one that immediately flashed back to 1998?
Haha yea, do I see a turbo button?
imo the Silverstone LC18 HTPC multimedia case looks far nicer, but is around £450 (GBP) i might treat meself :D
Wow, that brought back memories of some early Compaq models...
This is kinda funny, its so high tech, yet, it looks like it runs Windows for Workgroups 3.11
Nothing special here. Silverstone has had a case like this for years now. Voodoopc has OEM'ed that case and painted it for their computers.
Commodore SX-64!!!

It looks better when the bottom cover is flipped up. It is down in the picture. Until these things have HDCP and HDMI out, I'll pass. Still think the Pixel Magic MB100 is a better option. Has that device ever been reviewed here? Can't find it with the search.
engadget 1985 anyone?
Aaron's right. Part of the problem is that the case is silver, yet the image Engadget used had lighting issues that made it look beige. If you follow the link, there are better pictures.
Silverstone makes a similar case with a touchscreen. The silverstone case not only looks better, but has been available for some time:

SOOOO hot.
Word Eazy. Deffinately a rip-off of the Silverstone SST-LC18. Just take a look on Newegg.
HAHAHAHAHA.
When I glanced at it, I thought it was a 1980s era computer someone gutted and put modern parts in. Apparently someone is still producing these...wtf are they smoking?
I retract my statement. Should have follow the link first...it's not the old school beige but silver. Still ugly though.
compaq had something like this in 1983. this is nothing new

can anybody say 'osborne 1 computer'? http://oldcomputers.net/osborne.html
good lord! It's an uglier version of the lisa!
either that, or a piece of pro-grade video gear. I can't quite decide. do they actually expect to sell many/any of these?
