There are some reasonable cases for around $50, I did some searching a little while ago. I liked the Asus Ion, but mainly because of VPDAU, which is of not much use when encoding.<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Motherboard-AT5IONT-I-Audio-Mini-ITX-Retail/dp/B004HCTKRG">http://www.amazon.com/Motherboard-AT5IONT-I-Audio-Mini-ITX-Retail/dp/B004HCTKRG</a></div>

OK, look like there are heaps to choose from; only just started<br>
scratching the surface.  No idea about cost of suitable cases for them.<br>
If we can find one that network boots (so no hdd) then we should have a<br>
really cheap, small and light camera box.  Might make it worthwhile.<br>
