    Buying/building HTPC for Parents

    Thanks for the help guys. I am going to go with the NSK4480 case. I would generally agree with you about the stand alone players, however I will be able to manage the HTPC for at least the next three years so that really doesn't bother me. In addition, this will allow us to rip blu-ray movies.

    Which notebook/netbook is for me.

    No, not at all. It is just a trade off. I am just tired of my 7lb laptop; (it was cheap and served its purpose) so, I am over making it more extreme then it really is. I think I have decided to get the SAMSUNG NC10. It seems to fit my needs the best. Thanks everyone.

Is that extra screen size really worth the extra weight? Edit: Just saw the post above mine, I will have to look into these options...
