There are drawbacks to every case.  Size, function, or heat 
dissipation seem to be the three biggies.  I don't care about 
size, so I went for the Silverstone line.  I've got three of their 
cases.  An LC02 for my main backend in my media rack with 
all the disks nfs mounted from a whitebox 11 bay tower in 
my basement, an LC14 in my family room, and an LC16b 
in my test bed, getting ready to replace the LC14 so I can 
move that up to my bedroom.  I really like the LC16 because 
of the front panel controls for audio.

The Pundit line is popular if you like small size and don't need 
a lot of tuners.

YMMV!

Paul
