Hi all

I have the following spec PC. If I want to keep it I've been told to make it more living room friendly!

The ideal would be something horizontal that can go in an AV rack alongside my amp (which is 16 cm tall, so not a problem if the case is too)

If not, any suggestions for towers?

Important
- minimal or no optical drive bays
- sleek and small
- usb3

Not important
- windowed
- front connection ports
- no immenent plans to upgrade anything

Thank you!

Thanks. Just getting my head back attound all this so appreciate the help.

Looks like my only issue will be that my CPU fan/heatsink are way too tall so would need replacing.
 
Have you had a look at the Fractal Node 605? It's out of stock on OCUK at the moment but I use the same for my HTPC in the living room.

Excellent case with front USB 3, supports full ATX. It was very easy to build with and there are no optical bays visible, though it's possible to add a slimline one.
