Hey all,
I picked up a MSI H61M-P31 MicroATX mobo and Intel Celeron Intel G530 for 65 bucks at Frys yesterday and some Corair Vengence (8 gigs) ram for 25 bucks and I was hoping to transfer my main rigs DVR duties to a smaller HTPC machine utilizing these components. I bought a Raidmax R4 case and installed the components only to find that my half height Happpaugage HVR-2250 tuner card does not fit the "low profile" slots on that case?
Am I missing something or is the case following some other size standard or is half height and low profile not the same thing?
Anyhow, I packed up the case to return it and am looking for something with either full height expansion slots or half height slots that will fit my tuner card. I dont want to order it without confirming that it will fit. Frys did not have any other cases that looked like it would work and its pretty much the only pc parts store in town.
Here is the link to the case:

Here is a link to the mobo:

Budget is under 100 dollars.
