HTPC Low Profile Cases?
#1
Hi,

I am new to making a HTPC and I would like some ideas on what case I could use. The space that i have available to put it in restricts the height of the unit to a maximum of 9cm (90mm or about 3 inches). Besides the Streacom FC5 are there any cases that would fit? (width and depth arent really an issue since almost all cases would fit there).

The HTPC in question would prolly be built with an A6 or A8 processor as to have no need for seperate graphics card.


Thanks in advance for any advice,

I was looking at Wesena cases myself.

This case is only 70mm tall and looks great IMO.

Here is a similar case, but with a disc drive slot.

Here is more of a cube shape that is only 75mm tall and a very reasonable $64.

Here is a Lian Li that is only 47mm tall as well.
