What is the best case you've found for a dedicated MP Pc?

Has anyone tried any of the ones with the LCD screen on the front? Has anyone found a very thin one? Does anyone have any pics of theirs?

I don't know if this is the best case... but this is the one I have... These are pics I have linked off the net. I like this case because it's a full size case, when the doors are up it looks very clean. The case itself a little over a year ago was around 90 bucks and that was without power supply. I have a silentx power supply that is very quiet.

Im using the black Thermaltake Tenor. I did a lot of research for a case when I first started looking for one a year ago and I liked the design of the Tenor. Full size ATX. Hidden drive bays. If I had to pick now, I would get another Thermaltake, but probably the Bach, or Mozart - both of which come with LCD's.

This is one of those things that depends on what your other requirements are but I'll tell ya what I have.

I have a Black Thermaltake Bach with the VFD display kit and everyone I've shown it too has loved it so far. See my post in the ongoing project area. I haven't posted photos yet but you can see that on the Thermaltake site anyway.

Thermaltake just introduced a low profile version that might even be better. It looks like it has some improvements and it even has a PCIex16 riser card so you can use a full height graphics card! No more underpowered low profile graphics cards for a low profile case.

They also have a low profile version of the Mozart so look around for the other models.

One advantage of the full size case is never having to say it doesn't fit in the case.
