attractive panel to mount an VFD behind. It's not cheap, though. A close<br>second seems to be the Ahanix D.Vine 5. I've looked at a few cases by</blockquote><div><br>

One thing to note about the D.Vine 5 is that it doesn't have enough
space for a normal atx psu, so if you decide to change the included
one, you have to find one that is micro atx (and since you'll want it
beneath your tv, quiet as well, which can be quite hard, and those that
are(ahanix' own for example) are quite expensive.<br>
Also, that case only has harddisc mount for 1 disc (there's space, however, to place some more next to the drives, but no mount)<br>

A friend of mine bought a silverstone case and describes at least the
lid that covers, i think it was, the optical disk-drive as being VERY
plasticy and loose, thus not giving off a real quality feel.<br>

I use one from LG(which fits fine in the D.Vine 5 case), but I think
most drives are pretty silent, when you just set their speed to
something low, eg. this command for closing the disk drive and setting
the speed to 2x: eject -t -x 2<br>
