Title: HTPC Case Options
Post by: coderego on November 24, 2012, 08:02:23 pm

I'm not liking most of what I'm finding...

I have a few easy requirements:

1) I have 8TBs of storage in my NAS. No need for many internal HDDs. I have a microatx mobo so lets keep it small: MicroATX!
2) I'd like an external 5" for a blu ray drive
3) I'd like an LCD screen to display info
4) I'd like a card reader

Any suggestions? The best I've found is the: http://www.nmediapc.com/htpc5000.htm but the reviews on it are pretty awful....

Ah yes, that would be important, lol. I'd like to spend $150 or less. I'm willing to spend $200
