Case Suggestions
Ok My current case isn't that bad and I only paid $10 for it, but I would like to get something a little nicer. The problem is I'm looking for a Aluminum Full Desktop Case. The only thing I can find that looks decent is the D. Vine cases. I don't want to pay $250 for a case. My price range is around $50 - 100.
Here is a pic of my current case, I would like the new case to be simular in size.  If I can't find anything, I'm just going to modify this case.

Unfortunately the Coolermaster case is for MicroATX form factor mortherboards... I bought the DSIGN case (the aluminum desktop case) and must say it is REALLY nice. I think I paid about 200.
When I looked into it last year, it was the only one that would accept ATX motherboards and still had than high end video equipment look.

Do you have any pics of your HTPC, or a link to the case. Of course I'm way over budget on this pc as it is. Espically considering I just order another PVR-250, remote, and Power Supply.

How is the DSIGN case on sound? I had the coolermaster case, but found that I couldn't get rid of that rather loud humm. I tried the Zalman fans and everything (I admit, I am a little picky on the noice issue .. after all it is sitting in the living room
 ).

Mine is quiet enough for living room use, I have two case fans, cpu fan, fan on video card, and of course power supply fan.
The only downside to this case (and to others that offer an aluminum baffle) is that they are easy to scratch.
