Check out the cases in the link below. I find they carry a good selection of slick looking models. Prices are kind of high and they don't ship everywhere but the selection is great.

This is by far the best looking case out there (imo), especially if you have it placed so that you only see the front!

I'm thinking of replacing my bedroom HTPC case with a black one of these:

Quite close to a mac mini and cheap.

My HTPC case have to have passive PSU, display and BD-ROM slot. This one is my top pick- OrigenAE M10.
It is simply sexy...

Ahanix as a company is indeed gone. The website (http://www.ahanix.com) is dead.
But this company later went on under a different name, with a website http://www.dvinehtpc.com, but that one is also gone. I once ordered there a VFD kit, and got an email back -with my order info- from [email protected]. But http://www.colorcase.com is *also* gone
Upon checking all the three websites were from one and the same company through the years (you can check via http://www.archive.org). But how to locate them now? Wouldn't know. I believe the closest is their "original" colorcase ebay shop: http://search.ebay.com/?sass=colorcase&ht=-1. But that ebay shop hardly seems to do any business anymore.
Anyway, the HTPC case I referred to is sold here and there - but it seems it isn't made anymore. The MCE30x line of cases once were also sold under quite some different names (Uneed, Dign etc...... Uneed is now OriginAE). Maybe there is some manufacturer nowadays that still sells them, but under a different name.
But even buying the discontinued Ahanix MCE30x (if you can find one) shouldn't be a problem. The case will last for ages. It is of very high quality material.
