Thats pretty sick. I would just use an XBMC Netflix or Hulu plugin, even dual booting Ubuntu for a better "TV" experience as they line out on their site.

There were plugins for XBMC that allowed the user to stream from the web, Navix, Icefilms and FreeCable plugins are the ones I used. But normally I just rip my own movies and TV shows and watch them... streaming in crappy quality just does not do a HTPC justice ... redface.gif

Doesn't take much to be an "Xbox killer"

I have case just like that in my HTPC, look on my HTPC sig rig. Also modded mine so I could fit a h50 into it. I just cut off all the extra hard drive bays and used part of a pencil to hold that side of the drive bay up, I have pic on that sig rig showing it. Overall I like the case, blue light sucks so I don't have it plugged in. Enough space under the Bluray for SSD and Hard Drive so no problems there. Case is still made out of cheap metal though rolleyes.gif Gaming HTPC's are great biggrin.gif no need to use consoles anymore tongue.gif
