I'm planning to purchase a net multimedia desktop PC to hook up on my DD AV-receiver and TV-set. It has to be a desktop case so it can be places in my video rack.
Now I'm wondering if this is possible because of the cooling. Mostly a tower is recommended.
This desktop PC has the following config:

MSI K7T 266 Pro (MS-6380) board
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400 MHz 266 FSB
Maxtor Dmax 60 40 GB, 7200 rpm
ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder videocard
SB Live! Player 5.1
Pioneer DVD Slotin

What cooling device would you recomment?
Is it possible to cool this all sufficient in a desktop case?

With that set up you need to have a 300 Watts PSU. Also for cooling, your case must have a good air circulation ( not just a good CPU fan). After the setup just monitor the CPU temp. If it goes past 52 drgrees then it is time to think of adding more case fans.
