for an extra hundred bucks you could get this, takes all of 5 mins to assemble and is small enough to fit under almost any seat, in a glove box, or in the dashboard (behind your monitor).

Yes--I was just looking at the size of one of them. They're a LOT smaller than I realized. Even when I was thinking of buying a new system, I thought I'd have to put it in the back. Then I figured that if I was going to mount it in the back, I'd have to find a way to conceal it. If I was going to do that work anyway, I might as well lose the case.

It just doesn't make sense to spend all that time/money fabricating a new enclosure when I can buy a case for $75.

But now I'm back to using a case.
