Looking for a small mATX form factor case for HTPC?

[mjs22]

I am looking for recommedations for a HTPC case. I would prefer that it be a horizontal desktop configuration. All of the cases that I have seen have been saying "Accpets Low Profile Cards Only." I would like to us my AIW9000 and my TBSC in this set up but I am not sure that it will fit one of these "LOW PROFILE" cases.

The motherboard that I will be using is an Asus P4333S w/Celeron 1.8GHz CPU. Let me know if you have an idea here.

Hi Mike take a look here at this site that specializes in HTPC and hardware etc.

I use a lian li pc9300 nice case, with a gigabyte 865pe matx mobo.

Check out the Antec Overture. Looks very much like the Minuet, but is a full ATX case and accepts full size cards... Newegg has it for $115 shipped.

Also, for more money, check out the Ahanix D-Vine. It looks more like a high-end amp than a computer case. Newegg sells that one also in silver and in black for $215 shipped...

Athenatech makes several nice microATX cases that accept full-height expansion cards. I like this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduct.asp?description=11-190-005&depa=1

A very similar one from Maxtop that I used for a desktop PC: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduct.asp?description=11-150-996&depa=1

Athenatech A100 series - my faves (same as the one Wanamingo lists). Chenbro 8056x (80569 et al.) series and 40522. Powmax 3302 - ultra cheap.
. These cases REQUIRE an mATX mobo and it must have a P4 power connector for best stability with those puny PSUs.
. Card length can be an issue with these cases - not so much card height.
