Ok so Im looking for an atx case that is small but has good air flow and is of good quality, I have been looking at htpc cases, but the air flow on them is not great. If you could link a good looking desktop case that meets the above that would be awesome. It needs to be able to fit all normal pc components and 2 hard drives. I have tried looking everywhere that I know of but I have not found anything to my liking.

Edit: To just clarify, the cooling that is most important to me is keeping the hard drive cool, I dont mind if cooling suffers else where but I really am anal about keeping my hard drives cool. :p
 
I have looked at those, my pc would be right next to me on my desk. The thing I didnt like about it was the power supply points out the front, and I dont know if it would do it or not, but I dont want a bunch of hot air being blown at me. I think I have looked at every case at newegg trying to find a good one. :p

I'm using a Antec PSU and feel not hot air blowing out the front. If I put my hand real close to the front, like almost touching, I can feel a small ammout of heat.

why not buy a cheap case, and mod it to suit your needs : )

I dont have many metal working tools, I could do wood but I would probably start and never finish it.

I have antec 550w, how is the cable mess in that case? do you just stuff it in one of the drive bays?
 
The cables really are not that bad. I just stuff the extras between the two CD drives. You and I have the same PSU.
 
How is the case for noise? I dont mind noise but I would like it to be quite if possible?
