Hi folks,

I've decided to put my old components to good use and build a HTPC system. My problem is finding the right case for it. It seems that the Silverstone LC-04 isn't around anymore, and also the case doesn't come with a PCI-e riser card.

Then I had a look at the Thermaltake Mozart SX which would have been perfect except for the fact that the graphics card has to be in the 6th slot (closest to the CPU) and I have the DFI Lanparty nf4 SLI-DR where the graphics cards are in the 5th and 3rd slots (just need one, so the 5th slot).

I can even live without a PCI slot, but I can't have a HTPC without graphics :)

I have a Seasonic power supply that I can put to use too, so I don't mind cases without PSU.

Right now I'm looking at the Thermaltake DH101 series (VF7000BNS) which is slightly bigger but avoids all the problems with the riser cards. (cards fit normally)

Price is also somewhat of an issue, I don't want to spend more than 100 quid on a case that just recycles some outdated equipment.

Any suggestions would be more than welcome! :)
 
silverstone do more than one case for the htpc market so don't any of the others fit into your criteria
 
Silverstone GD-01 here with an Asus A8N32-SLi in it. It gets a bit cramped inside but I can still fit a Scythe Ninja Mini on the CPU.
