Here's the one I'm using:

It was one of the recommendations from FreeplayTV. It's a low profile 
case. I didn't know what that meant, but I do somewhat regret buying it, 
since it only has one 5 1/4 bay and practically no PCI cards work with 
it. (The ATI TV Wonder VE works if you take off the metal plate.) If I 
could start over again, I would have gotten an ASUS Pundit 
(http://www.asus.com/products/desktop/pundit/overview.htm).

Overall, the case does look good though. People have said it does look 
kind of like a VCR. I got the black version, which should go well with a 
lot of components.
