Full sized ATX HTPC case

[Lord Alibaski]

I have a few spares about so I was thinking of putting a HTPC together for the missus to replace the ageing hard drive recorder she’s got. She was looking for one with freeview built in, so I just said I would put this together if I can find a decent looking case that takes full sized ATX m/b, psu & g/c.

What else would be a bonus is it to have front RCA audio and video pass through ports along with a front S-Video pass through port

bit like this, the only one I have seen like this is from Nmedia but it only takes a matx board.

Anyone come across a decent looking case preferably all black.

You can get 3.5" or 5.25" bays - port extenders iirc - which you could put in the front

The case itself is the main object here I am looking for m8.

I can't find a 3.5" or 5.25" composite video RCA audio and video pass through. This is something I am not really bothered about because I still have an old Plextor Convert X she can use for this.

Not sure if I would call it decent looking but I've just got a Coolermaster Elite 360 Mini Tower Case to convert my desktop into a htpc. Would class it as a budget htpc case which can take atx boards.

I was actually looking at this earlier today, seems fine to me I didn't really want to spend loads on one anyway.

Looking at the dimensions this is just under 6inches when lying flat?

Will get one of these ...cheers m8
