Hey,

I'm replacing my main rig but keeping the same case with the idea of building a new media server out of my old parts.
So, I need a small ATX case with room for 4 HDDs inside. Essentially I'm looking for something a bit like a media centre case but without the bells&whistles & expensive finishes as its not going to be on show.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to go down the cheap midi tower route....

How much do you want to spend? Slimline desktops start at just under 40 quid. You might get a cheaper deal on a cube if it will fit the space you have.

One of the le-cheapo asus cases on it's side - would only be 17mm higher that the Silverstone and under half the price.

XJ- HB 01 Black - cheap desktop case (ugly but if hidden...) simular to the price of the asus cases only 135mm high :) and dump the psu as it's bound to be poor.
