best case for htpc

gettin a hometheater setup and want the best combination of quiet/cooling and looks. black preferred. largest fan sizes and normal atx psus would be ideal 🙂

Lots of new ones out there. Check nMedia and Thermaltake.

Or the one I plan on getting when merom based motherboards come out for 100% silence. This one is a Lian-Li:

anything that can be atx based?

however i do like a few of those, especially the antec

ATX based? Some nMedia (you can rig them to lay down with some nice audio isolator feet), some CoolerMaster, some Tt, some Silverstone.
