Alright, these forums convinced me to build my own HTPC from scratch, and I was thinking about copying your build here jangjong. Are the only things missing from your setup a good remote and a hard drive for media storage? Do you have recommendations for the remote? And if I don't want to set up a raid server, or NAS, or whatever, will USB 3 hard-drives suffice, or do you have alternate recommendations?

Wow, lots of nice links there; thank you very much. I'll probably set up an unRAID at some point, but I'm trying to get the HTPC up and running for as cheap as possible.
I noticed that the company you linked to buy the Realan E-I5 case is currently sold out of the black cases. You don't happen to know where else they can be purchased from, do you? Google searches mostly lead to alibaba.com, and it's unclear if they sell individual units to consumers.
