I have an ASRock E350 based htpc atm in a rather lacklustre case.
I have a bit of money coming in and want to jazz things up a little.
I'd like a case that can take mini-itx boards (but can be bigger as long as they will mount).
I'd like room for an optical drive, preferably full size but I can stretch to a laptop style bluray drive - slot-load is too expensive though.
A VFD or LCD that isn't too much of a pain to get working in Openelec would be nice but not a dealbreaker.
Can either be a small cube or hifi size, even amp size as it will likely go in a hifi rack in a few weeks.
Would like room for a DVBS2 card - full height ones that work with openelec are a lot cheaper but again low profiles are an option.
I'd like to keep it a good chunk under £100 - ideal price point is around £60 but will consider above this, just no OriginAE cases please as they are droolworthy but too pricey for my meagre pocket.
