I'm looking for a nice HTPC case for an mATX motherboard. It needs to take at least two PCI cards, preferably using a riser so the height of the case is low. I've come up with these so far. Can anyone suggest anything else and which do people prefer. Don't want full ATX size and don't want normal height. I'm leaning towards the LC11. This will be a MythTV build :)

Budget is up to £150-ish.

Silverstone LC02

Silverstone LC04

Silverstone LC11

EDIT: just found the LC11M too:

EDIT: Don't mean to open a can of worms because silver is obviously best for a normal PC case. But what would look best under a TV? Silver or black? Don't have a new plasma yet so not sure what colour that will be.

Good point but I should have explained that I'm probably getting the Asus M2NPV-VM AM2 motherboard and undervolting and underclocking a CPU. the motherboard has onboard nforce graphics including s-video and optional hd output so no need for a PCI-E card. This will be a dedicated MythTV box so I won't need a lot of power and will see if undervolting the fans helps. Long term I'll probably fit a rackmount in the garage and put the Myth server there and convert this to just a client (and other clients in other rooms - hence the server).
