Lian Li PC-C33 Black Aluminum ATX Desktop HTPC Case 2X5.25 4X3.5INT No PS USB Audio 1394
Cons:-Blue LED power light is insanely bright (even taped over, it is still visible)-Stock fans are not the quietest (still decent)

Pros:-Roomy HTPC case-Fits full-size Mobo's, video cards, CPU coolers
Comment:
If you are looking for an HTPC case, and have more room in your media centre to fit a slightly larger case, I would recommend getting this case.I have the following components in this case:Q9450, OC to 3.2GhzNoctura NH-C12P8 gigs RAM m 800MhzFull-size ASUS ATX 775 moboATI HD 6850, dual fan modelBluray DriveDvD Drive750GB Samsung Spinpoint Drive2TB WD green drive2x 1.5TB seagate drivesASUS 5.1 Xonar SoundcardAlso, I used to have a nVidia GTX 275 (very long card) in there before the 6850, and it fit but this is the longest card that would fit.This case can accommodate as many components as a normal desktop case, as you can see from above.The CPU (with a mild OC) and the GPU run fairly cool. CPU is 28-32 degrees idle, around 50 under load (we also use this HTPC for some light gaming, as a second computer).The case is fairly quiet, even with the stock fans. The two 80mm fans it comes with could be replaced with something better is you are so inclined.
