Thinking of building a home theater PC, but you don't really want to put your tower case next to your LCD TV? Well, there's a growing number of HTPC cases out there for building machines that look more like audio/video equipment than computers. And then there's the Origen S21T.
This case has a 12.1-inch motorized touch screen on the front with support for resolutions up to 1920x1080. That's right, while most cases with an LCD display top out around 7-inches, which means you'd have to be standing in front of the display to make use of them, this case almost makes the TV or monitor its plugged into irrelevant.
You also get an attractive case. That touch screen slides out to reveal a media bay, USB hub, and audio and firewire ports. Theres' three fans in there, 2 intake and 1 exhaust, but they're all of the low-volume variety. Oh yeah, and you can cram up to 10 hard drives in there.
No word on pricing or availability.
