I am after a case to house my HTPC. At the mo i am looking into the NSK2400 from Antec but looking at alternatives too. I need it to be nice and quiet, able to house full height cards (For gfx, DVB-T CARD) and look the part. Preferably silver too. Also seen a few more cases like one of the silverstone lascala but they use 2x60mm fans above the i/o shield and i can see this being noisey...

EDIT: The Silverstone LC17 looks good.. And had loads of spaces for fans... and 92/80mm too... :)

I use a Silverstone TJ-08, it's not a HTPC case but it's black, understated look, takes very little physical desk space and has 2x12cm case fans (intake and exhaust, set to 7v) is available black and silver, can fit standard ATX PSU, space around CPU for large HSF, and allows all PCI slots to be used.

The Antec 2400 is good for the money, the cable routing system makes it very neat and tidy.

Do you want MATX or full ATX? The 2400 and TJ-08 are MATX, LC-17 full ATX.
 
M-ATX will be fine but needs to be Desktop really as its goign on a load of shelves unded the TV... The board i have is just a cheepo ASROCK one running a P4 3Ghz. Think i am going to go for the Antec caseAs it offers everything i need really and according to reviews its pretty much silent. Looks pretty nice and simple too...
