Discussions about HTPC Cases, Power Supply Units and general system cooling
I've got an Overture (original, not the II version) and it's a good case, the only thing not so good is that it's a warm case what makes more dificult to choose between low noise and good air flow, for the price I think it's a good choice. I'm happy with it!
If you're not looking for the low price these are very impressive cases...

I'm using a 8600gts in my case and it was really loud so I fitted the Zalman VNF100. It works really well in this case. it is extreemly quite now. you need the fans running in this case for it to cool though. there is no way to have all the components passive because you will get a build up of heat.
the case airflow works really...

The vendor A-Tech Fabrication has been on the AVS forum for quite a long time and has taken suggestions and deigned many nice cases for HTPC use and also for mass storage. A couple of the cases are silent - based on heat pipe technology. I don't own nor do I have any financial (or other) interest in the company or the cases. The...

That Ultra slim case from Stevenduk seems very familiar to me.
A Dutch computer store www.alternate.nl uses this case for their complete system. It's very nice, but needs very specific hardware.
And it does only have room for 1 PCI, nothing more. Also the DVD drive must be a slim line, there is no room for a normal sized one. I've...

Ouch! Those cases, set up with some common things like a vfd, are almost $800! You're right those are expensive. They still seem rather large too.
