Looks proprietary, though you could probably take a slim case (I know Cooler Master makes some good HTPC cases of this style; you can also consider cubes like Shuttle XPCs, Monarch Hornets, and the Antec Aria if you're merely looking for something compact but not necessarily slim) and mod it yourself--but that'd be a bit of work.

I have been working on my microsoft online training and they showed (sry mistake late night having no sleep because one of my computer had a meltdown) a picture of a media center pc like that and I was wondering if that they made such a case after I saw that.

It's not a custom case.

Alienware also markets an HTPC using the same case as the ZT Group one:

The specs at the Alienware site says it's a BTX case.

I couldn't find any info on who makes the case or the mobo yet, but at least we know it's not unique to ZT Group.

for BTX don't you need a special BTX motherboard

Found out the BTX motherboard being used by those HTPCs:

Will keep working on the case.

It turns out the HP Digital Entertainment Center also uses the same Intel D915POM MicroBTX motherboard, and a similar MicroBTX HTPC case:

HP Digital Entertainment Center

Those motherboards and cases are definitely NOT unique/custom made.

Still trying to get a handle on which case makers have chasses that fits the D915POM board though.

Zt group said the case is made by Intel. Intel doesn't make cases. They are probably a bunch of idiots.
