I am planning on upgrading the htpc in my sig. Id rather have a flatter "normal" htpc case than my shoebox rig.

preferably
mATX
ATX PSU compat.
3-4 3.5"

all in a nice sleek, and small form factor

if you know of any like this let me know! ive been browsing silverstones offerings and was hoping to find something better

this is my favorite so far, but lacks the amount of drive bays Id like to see
 
Since you were looking at the silverstone offerings did you get a chance to check out the Grandia series? This on in particular will more than likely be my next build......

A little taller than the other one you posted above but plenty of hard drive bays and cooling. Plus it just looks sweet in my opinion. Amazon has it cheaper and with free shipping as well.
Good Luck
 
You'll never find a case like the ML03 with that many drive bays. Why do you even need them? I only need 1 5.25 and 1 3.5 bays in my case.

I have that very case showing up end of week, I will only install a single HD and DVD drive. for my movie collection I host that on my server on a couple of 2TB samsungs and use a unc path in WMC7 to access them. Never an issue streaming DVDs with the weakest link being the 100MB switch in my router where the HTPC is plugged in.

Gonna have to BD soon though.
 
I have a build in that, with just an SSD in it.

if you want to keep noise down, the scythe big shuriken fits in it, and silverstones 80mm fans are rea`lly quiet if you leave the temp sensor plugged in so they dont default to full speed
 
I dont have a seperate server. I use my htpc for a home server, and even a tad of online hosting. So a few drive bays are necessary

the GD06 is pretty nice looking. will you update when you receive it? Im under the assumption you only get 3x3.5 bays with a micro atx board, and the full 4 when using mini itx, which would be a bummer. any chance you can verify that
