I'm using an A-Tech HeatSync 300 Micro-Client case for my C.A.P.S. server. Glenn at A-Tech provided a faceplate with no optical drive cutout. Installed a passively cooled Intel D510MO in the case with an Intel 40 GB SSD to run Win7 and JRiver. No moving parts, no noise and cool as a cucumber. Storage is on a WHS machine. There's no room for a sound card in this model but did not need one as I'm connecting to an ART Legato via USB (a good USB/SPDIF converter IMO if your music collection is essentially limited to Redbook). The case is not cheap but is an extremely well made work of art, definitely audiophile eye candy that looks great in the rack. While you could obviously get by with a much less expensive case, I (and I'm sure a few others) enjoy looking at a great piece of design! Vann

Thanks Chris for the timely response. The simplest solution is most often the right solution. I'll give it a try and report back. Great site!

I'm running MC 14 on my CAPS (Intel D510MO) and followed Chris' setup advice. Works great and am really enjoying the results. No complaints other than I can't seem to get Theater View to run. I'm guessing it's an imbedded MOBO graphics capability issue as fiddling with MC's setup menu does not solve the problem. I get the following error message when trying to run Theater View. "Error starting Direct 3D engine (adapter 0 not capable of windowed mode)" Any assistance would be appreciated!
