HTPC case recommendations?

[EnderX]

Trying to decide what case to put my FULL size mobo in. I want it to fit in on my stereo rack.

I have been considering Antec Overture, also looked at Coolermaster Cavalier 4. Any other suggestions?

They're expensive but Ahanix's cases are sooo nice :drool:

They have a couple models I believe, (including the dvine 4 I posted) that support full sized ATX mobo's

That is beautiful but 300-700 is alittle expensive for my blood. Aiming more for the <150 mark. The overture is $135 Can.

I went thru all the same internal struggles you are going thru right now. i bought a rack mount case and just didnt like it ($100+ out the door).

I saw the overture case but in person it looked a little plastic and just wouldnt look right in my rack. I will edit out he plastic comment if you ahev already bought it! ops:

I ended up getting the D.Vine 4 for $300cdn from Ncix after they price matched another online dealer.

I really like this case and can recommend it. You have to remember you will have the case for a while.

EnderX, this is the "bad" side of the coin that forums offer :lol: While on the good side you get tons of useful and helpful information, the bad side will make you spend more money! :lol:

The Ahanix cases are really in a class of their own and worth their higher price tags IMO but it's your budget and your PC

I found the Devine 4 and 5 series cases at DigiConcepts. The Devine 4 in black or silver is $194.00 and the Devine 5/6 in black or silver is $205.00. Prices seem very reasonable.

Be carefull on what Ahanix model you buy, since your board might not fit in some models,regarding the power supply, might want to increase that a little more, at 350 watts with new hardwares with increase power coming out, your PSU might choke and suffer frequent crashes. That all depends on what you are putting though.
