    HTPC Case

    Hey. I've got a GA-K8NS with an Athlon 64 2800+, 1gb ram, GeForce FX 5500 256mb, 120gb with 320gb external, DVD, and a Vista approved TV tuner with on-board processing. Right now I've got a big clear case, but this will be moving as my Media Center to replace my TiVo. I don't want a giant noisy computer in my living room and would like a nice sleek case. Looking on eBay I've found some nice ones for less than $150, but they all come back to -my mb is too big or I need mini AGP and PCI cards. I've seen some that come with risers so you can use 1 AGP and 1 PCI, but again, my mobo is too long. Anyone know of a good slim sleek case? I'd like one with a display on the front too, but not necessary.

    I'm quite fond of this this one but again...my mobo is too big.

    When all else fails- find a bigger trash can.

    slim cases have some heating issues.

    on that site are some smaller towers that should suit your needs.
