Need "budget" HTPC case for Radeon 4830/4850 and ATX board

I don't want to mess around with the case too much in terms of modding. I have read that some cases only require removing a drive cage. If it is straightforward (removing a few screws), I don't mind that. Unfortunately, I am on a limited budget, so I might have to scratch the whole HTPC case thing. I am probably asking for too much with the ATX and room for a 4850 requirement.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 
Antec NSK2480 for $100 or less...but it's matx like most "HTPC" cases. This is a great case with excellent airflow, which you don't often find in this type of case.
 
Actually I just built a HTPC with a Radeon 4850 XXX. It is a MATX and the case is by Antec (Fusion Remote Black). However, the 4850 is very loud and I needed to buy a ZALMAN VF1000. The Antec works great but I would stay away from the Fusion Remote, I would go with the model without the LCD/VFD. It is very blurry and unreliable. I decided to buy a Hauppage TV Tuner card for the RF receiver.
