1. For a home theater PC, start with a small motherboard with an HDMI output. Many mini-ITX-format boards come with the processors pre-installed, which cuts down prep work. Just snap in memory modules and the board is ready for the case.
2. If your case comes with an internal power supply (as opposed to an external power brick), make sure it has a fan for extra cooling. Screw your motherboard into the case before locking down other components.
3. DIY cases allow you to be flexible about what components you use. We built in a slot-load Blu-ray player and a 500 GB hard drive.
