I'm using a $20 case right now and well you know... you get what you pay for! I only use 1 DVD burner, 3 hard drives and 1 SSD. I'm looking for a case as small as I can get while still having good air flow. I primarily care about a near silent machine. I've been slowly upgrading and moving away from what used to be an HTPC. I recently pulled the ITX board and put an Intel P55 mATX board in and still have the old radeon 4550 low profile/silent card while I wait for the right price on a video card. I wont be going high end on the video card since I'll never drop over $150 on video.
I thought I'd come ask you guys for a shortlist for a good place to start looking.
I7-860 stock speeds, stock cooler.. will be putting in a bigger HSF in eventually but all I do on this machine is homework right now so stability is of course top priority hence the intel mobo and stock speed.
