I am going to in the next month or two build a new rig. I am starting to look into parts and I am interested in making a media center setup. I like the look of media center cases. Im thinking of setting up this computer like an entertainment system, ie I will be sitting on a couch with wireless keyboard and mouse with the computer on a coffee table. Before I get to the questions I want to point out that I want it to do everything that a normal computer does. I want to do games, movies, 3d animation, internet, everything.
So the question is, are there any warnings for setting up a powerful pc in a media center case? I would have to use a micro atx motherboard. Also Iv noticed that LCD tvs are cheaper for a large screen size compared to regular LCD monitors. besides the heavier weight, are there any disadvantages to using a tv as the monitor? again this computer will be used for everything a normal computer would do including games. Thanks for any advice!
