Htpc case

As i'm upgrading my motherboard etc, i thought i could place my current stuff in a nice looking case that would fit under my TV & play movies (don't ask where these are from....)

what cases would you guys recoomend to use for this ( the motherboard is a ATX i think)

I would just go for something cheep and cheerful, what many people forget about is that most TV stands have enough room to put a case behind it, you won't end up paying £150 for a really small case such as the antec fusion.

Atx is huge for a HTPC, you sure it isnt Micro-Atx (4 expansion cards?)

No unfortunatly, it is Atx with space for 6 cards!

Just thought i could use it for other thing as otherwise i'll just throw it away.

Also i cant put a case behind the TV as the misses has got a glass TV stand.......

What dimensions do you have in the stand?
Silverstone do a good variety of cases.
I'm using a gd01 at the moment...atx with room for six hdds, but its rather large
