A "adelphia" One. It says motorrola on the front and it has perfect size to make one. Pictures coming tomarrow. IF you could recomend a Motherboard it would be greatly apreciated.

Home theater sounds nice. Didn't even think about that. Any suggestions for a motherboard? I think it has to have a Micro atx or lower.

Here is a pic of the cable box, I didnt take the pic either.

Yeah, an atom system would fit. Atom mobos would come with CPU and heatsink already on it, but it will be hard to make hard drive bays and DVD drive bays as well as sort everything out :/

Thanks. The drives will not be a problem. Just the psu might be a bit harder.
