Ok, I haven't burned that image yet. I need a second monitor...

For my EPIA board I bought a Morex Cubid 2699 for 79EUR plus 16% taxes

That page is awfully slow for me, this might be more helpful.

It can hold a 3.5" HDD, slimline DVD and FDD, has an external 60W
powerbrick. Two fans built in, which I am not using, since the wires are not
long enough to reach the socket on the EPIA, but the machine runs fine
without any fan, the loudest part of the box is the HDD. You can mount one
PCI card with the included riser board, mine has the Hauppage TV card right
now, which has to function as my replacement TV. It is a little tight in the
case, but I made it all fit.
