Which Media Cente case

[Steve B]

to replace my hunk-a-junk with no switch so i need to short the jumpers with a screwdriver every time i want to turn it on (see Wii Setup Thread)

im in the market for a Media centre Case </holygrail>

The basic requirements would be:
mATX specification, none of this big nonsense!
2 x 5.25" drives
NO VFD <--- Crucial one
Under 100 squids (could be the clincher)

Doesn't need to be brand new, just something that works, and preferably cheap

Any thoughts chaps and chappesses?
TIA
Steve

Review of the NSK 2400 if you decide to do more research

Look at the cabling and build this guy's done

Word of caution on the Antec 2400 - although it looks to be a first class case it is not particularly small. It takes a std mATX board, but the PSU is positioned at the bottom of this and lies flat so to speak, so its actually quite wide.

If you want something smaller, then something like this will fit the bill better but you'll be limited to weedy PSUs:

Edit: That Lian-li looks like it's awfully chunky top to bottom.

Its about the same height as an AV amp.
