If you're talking about spending north of $150 on a mini-ITX HTPC case, I'd rather go with something like the Iwill HT100 or the similar but more expensive Origenae m10.

M10 is one of my most favorite HTPC case as I mentioned it here- What is the most beautiful HTPC case?.......but it is $355 shipped.....

The HT100 is less than half the Origenae m10 shipped and very similar -- like Toyota vs. Lexus Smile.

Since $355 is too much for the M10, I would step down to "HTPC-FC8-OD-Black. Mini HTPC aluminum chassis" or the Lian Li (which will fit standard BD-ROM) in the earlier post instead........
