Case Suggestions Required - "Hi-Fi" style

[Makhaira]

I haven't found this as a consolidated thread, so by all means point me at something if I've missed it.

I'm toying with the idea of moving my PC over to a media role, since I'm spending less and less time gaming, and more and more time watching films. Since this would sit next to my flatscreen TV, aesthetics are key to me.

Requirements:

1) Tower or desktop, but must take full height PCI-E cards
2) Look nice (minimalist/brushed metal/etc)
3) 1 optical slot (will fit a blu-ray)
4) Preferably something that doesn't make me cry in frustration if I have to open it up, like some SFF cases I've dealt with in the past

Thanks for your thoughts!

Currently full ATX board, but I would be willing to upgrade/build fresh in order to get this machine up and running, so mATX is possible.

Thanks for the suggestions Guardsmon, I'll browse those properly later.

As for budget, as ever, the cheaper the better, but I'd like to stay the shy side of £100 really - I can't help feel that a lot of the HTPC cases that I've seen are very overpriced for what they are.
