The worrying thing is that she said the box for the case was huuuge! Crap! Maybe I'll be going for the GD05 after all. I'll see when I get home today. All important rule of thumb; measure the hell out of the space you want to put the HTPC _and_ account for cables and clearance. Do it three more times and only then decide on the case and find parts that'll fit in to it. ;-) Got a call from the wife 10 minutes ago to say that the case, hard drive and diNovo have all arrived – so the case I got this morning before leaving for work must have been the wifi card (didn’t have time to open it).
