    Best ATX HTPC Case?

    I'm looking to use my old E8500 Core 2 build (Asus P5Q-E, 4GB RAM, HD4850) as a cheap option to get a HTPC up and running.

    My only requirements for the case really are:
    • Fits an ATX motherboard
    • Has an external 5.25" (though might compromise this if needed)
    • Suitable to sit alongside TV & HiFi equipment


    So far I've found a couple of suitable cases:
    • Silverstone GD09
    • Cooltek G3



    Anyone know of others, or have experience with either of these?

    I think you have done well to find some options - I built an htpc a while back and all the nice cases were micro atx

    Thanks for the suggestions, not sure I like the look of the Origen AE units though.

    The Lain-Li's are nice, though pricey compared to the Silverstone GD09. Think that one may be the on I go for atm.
