that media style case looks pretty damn nice.

I just ordered one of these.  Got it for $117CAN for everything (taxes, shipping, etc.).
Not the cheapest way to go about doing this but that case will look nicer than a tower that won't even fit where I want it.  So that will be my first step. 

I'm looking at HDTV USB sticks.  I'm going to ditch my cable and I figure this is a cheap way to get all the locals stations.
This is the one I'm thinking of getting: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4170063&CatId=1428
I see there are a bunch from Asia being sold on eBay for cheap but I don't know how good those are.  Does anyone have one of these?
