I'm in the uk but I'm sure these things are avaiable world wide, the only snag is it's not the cheapest case you're ever going to buy :)<BR>

It's the accent HTPC case. I've got the HT-100B, it's black supports a full atx case with a VFD display, one internal accesible drive bay (5 1/4) and I can tell you that it looks sweeeeeeeeT.<BR>
<BR>
Just a few points that I should point out before you rush in and anti up the readies for this.<BR>
<BR>
This is all IMO :-<BR>
<BR>
pro<BR>
<BR>
-looks sweet<BR>
-blends into my other hifi equipment seamlessly (maybe a bit suspiciously big)<BR>
-supports full ATX - I've got an ABIT BD7-II Raid in mine and the baby fits in no problem<BR>
<BR>
cons<BR>
<BR>
-seems easy to scratch (IMO) - I've got the black one, maybe this wouldn't seem so bad on a silver one<BR>
<BR>
-I could only mount my hard drive in the top 3 1/2 bay after swapping my grahics card (i had it mounted in the free 5 1/4 bay previously). I had a Geforce 3 ti 200 (a full height card), the power connector for the hard drive fouled the top of the graphics card, the hard drive could not be moved closer to the front of the case as the header for the (optional) VFD display was in the way. I now have a geforce 4 mx (half height card) the power connector for the hard drive is now above the graohics card.<BR>
<BR>
All in all I am very impressed with the case, it's mainly aluminium construction also helps for heat dissipation.<BR>
<BR>
I like it, but I urge you to google for some reviews before you rush in.<BR>
<BR>
thanks,<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #5167c6 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">The Antec Sonata is pretty sexy for a tower, as mentioned earlier. However, <BR>
Antec just started shipping the Overture a couple weeks ago, which is a <BR>
desktop, 17" wide, fits a full size ATX motherboard and full-height PCI <BR>
cards. <BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Pretty sweet-looking. Apparently it also has rubber moutings for the hard <BR>
drive (to reduce vibration transfer to the case) and comes with an <BR>
ultra-quiet 380W power supply. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The drawbacks? I guess it almost 20" deep, so make sure you have a shelf <BR>
that goes back that far. Also, I'm not sure how good the airflow is in <BR>
there, so I wouldn't overclock if I were you. Shipping at newegg isn't free <BR>
on this item, making the total price a bit high ($118), but not too bad <BR>
considering the power supply. I'd look around for better pricing, though. <BR>
You never know until you look. Read some reviews too and make sure you can <BR>
live with it. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Although I've got a Chaintech 7NIF2 uATX as well, I'll be ordering one of <BR>
these next week for my new system (and get it out of it's crap case). So <BR>
please don't all go out and run every vendor out of stock. Leave at least <BR>
one for me. <BR>

<FONT color=red>> I have an ATX motherboard, which I am going to use to build a Myth Box. </FONT><BR>
(By <BR>

<FONT color=red>> </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> I want a cool case to put it in.....By cool, I mean something that will </FONT><BR>
fit <BR>
<FONT color=red>> nicely with my stereo system. i.e. Horizontal, Black, and a clean face. </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> Any idea where I can find them? I kept trying to do a google search but I </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> couldn't come up with anything but towers. Do they even make cases like </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> this for anything other than the mini-itx boards? </FONT><BR>
