Hello, I am looking for a new HTPC Case to replace my Antec Plusview1080amg as I need more leg room under the desk ( will get photos up soon) Basicly I am looking to put my current hardware into a case (Heatsink is a thermalright xp-90c) So need a bit of space even for future upgrades. Currently seen a couple that I Like Silverstone CW03 - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HpaW-k6c8EE (in black though) Silverstone LC16 - Mstation HT-5000 (cooling on this one dont look great) Do the kind people of BT have any suggestions. The Hardware that will be inside AMD FX-60 DFI SLI-DR PC P&C 510 SLI Extreme 2GB Ballistix Tracer Asus 8800gts 320 X-FI Titanium Samsung F1 1TB 400GB Sata and some other Drive Pioneer DVD-RW x 2 Many thanks
Well 7" is not too bad and the cw03 is a full 1080p screen. The screen allows me to use it as a music centre without having it connected to my TV at that time .
I have the Silverstone LC16. While not perfect it looks brilliantly non-PC ish if you know what I mean. Beware the centre mounted drive though. While this is the key to its looks it does restrict graphics card choice to a non high end model. Im an ATI fanboy so dont know how big the 8800 is so best to check it will fit, max sizes are on the silverstone site. Dean.
Mmm.. it really does depend on what your budget is. Here is a list of all HTPC cases on Newegg that have ATX compatibility, at least 2 5.25" bays, at least three internal 3.5" bays, have no included power supply, and are black. I think all but one are Silverstones. I didn't filter by display either, but there's only eleven there... - Diosjenin -
I am going to buy the Silverstone CW03 Black but the Zalman 160XT Plus and 160 Plus are also good options. http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=193
