[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 402162, member: 25562"] I've been waffling on whether or not to buy a new case for my MediaPortal box. I'm going through a major rebuild right now (Documented [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ongoing-htpc-projects-60/diary-htpc-dabbler-56070/"]here[/URL]) and the temptation is to keep upgrading until it's perfect. The problem is that the shelf I use to hold my current HTPC is very short - about 30cm or 12". Currently I'm using an Ultra Microfly case, which is basically a QPak clone. It's fine, but not particularly attractive and has to sit sideways on the shelf, making it look a bit ad hoc. I'd like to get something with a component style that would be less obvious and cleaner looking. The problem is that the vast majority of those cases are far deeper than 30cm front to back; most are around 42-45cm. I have found three cases so far that fit my needs - Silverstone LC19 and LC06 and Hiper Media's slimline cases. I'm wondering if any of you know of other short cases that I may have overlooked. The only important dimension is depth front to back, I don't need slimline - they are very sexy, but hard to cool and tend to be expensive. I have some other ideas about what I want and don't want, but for now I'm just trying to come up with a group to narrow down. Thanks for any thoughts! BTW - I don't really have the money, patience, or WAF tolerance to modify both the shelf and the case, so that is probably out of the question. [/QUOTE]
