Hi i currently have a zalman computer case and looking to swap it. The problem is i want one that will look alright in a front room for a htpc/gaming computer. I don't fancy swapping my motherboard though.

My specs are:

intel i7 2600k sandybridge overclocked to 4.2ghz
msi z68a-gd65
Corsair vengeance blue 8gb (might go to 16gb)
corsair 650tx
corsair hydro h60 (don't mind swapping)
1 samsung ssd and 1 western digital black hard drive
Inno3D GeForce GTX 770 iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra 4gb

Don't really want to pay more than £150 but ideally small has possible. Like bitfenix prodigy cases but they are micro atx :(

Have you by any chance got a media center area, such as a stand you would put the DVD, Sky box on? If so I would consider a full media center box rather than a tower.

Something similar to this.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Silverstone LaScala LC17 Rackmount HTPC Case - Black (SST-LC17-B USB 3.0) £99.98
Total : £109.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).




Unless of course you want to the rig to be used other than in the living room.

If going for a tower style case any preferences in side windows, fan grill cut outs?

Something under the tv on a stand would be better and atm i have a full size tower which wouldn't look right in front room. Reason want do it this was is so don't have go into other room to swap discs etc because going use it for blu ray etc save buying standalone players every time new type come out

Thing is though, without swapping your motherboard for something else, you're restricted to ATX form factor cases, which are all pretty big

EDIT : Coolermaster do HAF style ATX cases in the US, but i dont know where you'd get one in the UK
