Inexpensive ATX HTPC Case Recommendations

[bystander]

Looking for recs on the subject. Silverstone's nice, but it's a little out of budget at this time. Anything decent out there?

Nice price, but I need ATX.

This is about as small as you can physically get for an ATX case:

My smoothwall box is using this case. It would work nicely for a HTPC.

Not uber cheap, but I like the nmedia cases with the following being the cheapest ATX offering: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811204034\

Edit: Here's another case for $45 shipped AR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144231

Thanks for the responses! 🙂

The CM Elite 360 is a nice inexpensive option. I've been keeping an eye on deals for both the nMedia and Apevia cases as well.

Anything else?

Maybe look at the FS forums. I see reasonably priced HTPC cases on there from time to time.

Hi, thanks for the bump. I would say this case is a great HTPC case because it can take ATX mb and mATX also.

The only problem is the video card has to be 8 inches long or smaller so no ati 3800,4800, 5800 etc. And the PSU has to be a regular size, no EPS12v PSU, ATX only or no room for cards that are 8 inches.

I had a asus P5Q PRo in there. Fit no problem.
