If you can get it in silver then i reckon i would go for this to replace my crappy Elite case... was only meant to be a temp case cuz it was on offer and i couldnt strech enough to get something i wanted but iv had it for months now

Cooling sounds a lot better than most HTPC cases which is nice.

They seem fugly for HTPC cases

I really like the PC-C33.

I have to say it's tricky with media centre PCs because there are a limited range of styles. I think for mine, what I've decided to do is put it in a box behind the TV, then have an external caddy thing which I can make look pretty for the bluray drive. Then the user needs not interact with the actual box, but it's still close enough to process HD straight to the TV.

Another HTPC case that doesn't pass the "her indoors" test. I blame Dell and Asus for making nice looking tiny PCs.

Nothing says "classy and elegant" like exposed, front-mounted green and pink sockets

they dont even look like modern desktop pc's, they look like biiiiig chunky mitac from tandy pc's. yes they are metal rather than plastic, but all they are missing is a crt on top.

seems a lot of co's are trying to commit suicide recently.. is it like the producers? is that the way to go?
