mATX HTPC

Good evening guys, I am after some of your SFF advice.
I used to run my HTPC from a Shuttle but it suffered a motherboard failure

I threw together a tower PC together as a replacement but now I am wanting something a little more nice looking.

I ordered this motherboard to take the CPU and RAM from the shuttle, I am just after a case.

I have been through all combinations of cases but just can't find one that I like. I was nearly tempted to buy one of the Fractal Design cases.

My requirements are:

2-3 HDDs (OS, TV, Movies)
Up to around £80
mATX
Black and nice looking

Let me know your suggestions!

Silverstone ml03 if you don't need full size cards
Also need to factor in psu and optical size
I used a laptop optical and full size psu as I already had it and didn't want to buy a new one
Search the case here andyou will find some pics

Thats a nice case!
I think I looked at it before, has it actually been released?

Hope so because I have one.

Have heard they it may be hard to get hold of though

Ah great! I'll take a look then.

Any other suggestions if I can't get hold of one?

I've also got that case. Forgot about the previous thread

its a great case with decent space for what you want. Cable management can be quite hard but I guess that's to be expected for the size. Its a good case overall and is hard to beat for the price. I'll eventually post pics when I have it all set up to the projector

I'll try and find one online then!

Thanks guys
