[QUOTE="strider, post: 60482, member: 21596"] I researched quite a lot prior to building my HTPC. I wanted something that: [list] [*]Looked good and belonged in the lounge [*]Was quiet [*]Able to be turned on/off via remote [*]Didn't generate a lot of heat. [*]Had plenty of room for PCI cards, disks, the like. [/list] I settled on the [url=http://www.origenae.com/product_x11.htm]Origen X11 HTPC case[/url]. It works excellently... heat isn't a problem, and the unit is cool to touch. In addition the rubber gromits ensure the DVD and HDDs don't vibrate. Whilst it's not the cheapest case out there, it's slick, looks good, and even fits full sized PCI cards (no riser), and a full ATX sized motherboard. I purchased the optional VFD, so it can be started/stopped via remote. Very slick. [/QUOTE]
