Here's a cute little Instructable for turning one of Ikea's ILEN side-tables into a home theatre PC:
My wife hated having the old ugly tower case in our living room, and I really wanted to do something special for my HTPC. So when my mother law was heading up to Chicago to stop by Ikea I saw my chance. This is a Pentium 4 HT 3.2ghz, 2gb ddr2, 500gb HD, ATI HD2600 w/DVI-HDMI adaptor, audio is DTS through digital coaxial. Right now I'm just running XP, while trying to pin down my favorite Media Center front end. I decided to go with no input devices. NO KEYBOARD, NO MOUSE. I use VNC via either my Nokia 770 tablet, or our laptop. The Nokia makes a great remote control using VNC. If anyone has any questions at all just let me know, this is my first instructable :). Oh! One thing that's not in the pictures is that I ended up having to add some 1/8 inch holes in the pattern of a fan intake above the processor so more air can be pulled in.
