Was looking for mini-itx cases and stumbled across these. No luck so far of finding them in the states.
Anyone ever seen these available.

I like the idea of a HTPC that sends you nice little love notes like "Welcome to HTPC," "Goodbye," "Disc Loading," "Eject Disc," but WOW ARE THOSE EXPENSIVE!! $330 for a case, DC-DC PSU, and a ~ 1" x 5" display screen? Give me a break. I doesn't even look like the ODD is included.

Front panel lcd/vfd are completely useless gimmicks in real htpc situations, maybe even a distracting downside.
If you like the look and layout of those cases, get the regular wesena versions for around $80, streacom has fanless versions a little under $200. (although all 3 are obviously coming from the same aluminum fabrication source)
PFH carries them for the US.

Just because something doesn't appeal to you or you can't see a use for something doesn't make it useless. Touch screen LCD/VFD's aren't completely useless, I have no use for one and they don't appeal to me either, but I am sure there are people who find them useful and have a need and use for one.
