Hi guys,

I've got my PC now hooked up to my new HDTV and I feel that the case is too big.
I've got an Asus m4a78lt-m mono, Phenom 955 with Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2, 4 gigs ram, and a HD 5850 in there.

I know it's overkill for a HTPC, but I've no other use for the parts.

I'm looking for a smaller HTPC case that can house the above hardware and would look suitable alongside the tv.

Do you have any suggestions?.. Or if it's possible to house such hardware in a HTPC case?

Thanks for looking.
 
The motherboard is micro ATX so in theory you just pick the micro ATX case you like the look of from here. However, and it's a big however, your current cooler and graphics card will limit your choices. You haven't listed your PSU and that can also determine your choice of case; if it's too big it may not fit into some of the smaller cases.

That said, these fit the bill and should take your current setup. They also look good (in my opinion)
