PC with a stereo standard footprint?
crashwg:
Hey, thanks for posting that Crazy Cooter. I saw that last night and was planning on adding it to my list of posibilities but I accidentally closed the page it was on and couldn't remember the name of it.
Believe it or not I was thinking about painting the beutiful case but to make myself sound less crazy I was just thinking the front... Black to match my stereo.
Yea that case is at the top of my list so far.
[edit]
OMFG I just realized how deep that case is... 19.25"!
I'll have to cut the hardboard off the back of my entertainment center to fit that puppy in! Makes me wonder what the depth of all the rest of the cases I've been looking at are. :-\ I guess I'm gonna go check now.

Find an older single CD or DVD player that fits your size requirements at a pawn/thrift shop. It already has the drive bay, all you'd really need to do is fit the rest of the PC in there. It seems like you should easily be able to fit even a regular ATX mobo in there, you'd just have to get some horizontal PCI risers and a low profile power supply.
It works beautifully in my head :)

hey crash, if your still looking for options, I went ahead and measured a Compaq Deskpro EN case pc I have. Dimensions are : 12 1/2" W x 14 1/2" D x 4" H. Its great little case, its the usual ugly tan color, but some krylon fusion paint will make it any color you wish(im not selling this pc/case, just informing you of size for a alternative in your hunt). I have seen these cases and pc's on ebay, computer surplus joints, etc etc. Shouldnt be too expensive I'd think. YMMV. Game On.

I've got one of these that I'm looking to off:
Cooler Master ATC-600-GX1

I originally paid over $150 for it w/o power supply. I'd be willing to let it go for $100 shipped and I'll throw in a 400w power supply unused that came with a recent tower I purchased.
It's got some wear on it but now much.
As far as component size, it's standard stereo component size. The issue with it, at least in my case, is that it's fairly long. My entertainment center has one of those stupid pieces of cardboard on the back and the wife wasn't real keen on the idea of me cutting a hole in it to get it to fit.
It's nice because it looks a lot like a amp unit that you'd see for a stereo system.
I'd be happy to measure and take pics if you're interested.
Ultimately, I went with a case, when sitting next to the entertainment center, looks like a subwoofer thanks to the door on the front that has mesh running down the middle of it so that I can put my IR/RF receivers inside the door for my cordless controller and keyboard.
