That looks awesome! Don't worry about your English, your meaning is clear.

Hey, that case looks familiar! Very nice. In the USA it's called the Realan E-i7. Here it comes standard with the 84W AC adapter. If you run your system at maximum load it will exceed the 60W rating on that power brick so if you see it shutting down/rebooting unexpectedly that might be the cause. For normal HTPC duties though, it's more like 30W-40W so you'll be fine.

The Toshiba TS-TB23L also works very well in that case.

Congrats on making the "TigerWife" happy. As we all know here, Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) is the key to a successful HTPC.
