Find Me A Case......

Guys,

Looking for a stylish case to be used as a MCE/HTPC

Must be desktop style, and accept a ATX motherboard

Preferably tall enough to accept a full height pci card

Few people have suggested the Silverstone LC10 which im not 100% sure off

Anyone else got any ideas?

Cheers

Silverstone 18

Silverstone 14M

Looking at pretty expensive cases though, £160-£400 or thereabouts. No PSU either. One thing I noticed with the LC10 is small 60mm x 2 fans, so quite noisy @ 25dB each. Also depending where ATX plug is might cause problems with fitting .

The Silverstone Lascala range wins hands down.

All of them are relating to full size ATX desktop cases.
