Hey guys, I was just wondering which of these cases was the best for HTPC/gaming rig. All these cases fit my requirements I suppose (at least 2x 3.5 " harddrives, 1x 5.25, full graphics card, atx full board).

Which is the better (cooling, space, etc) wise case out of these:

Thermaltake Bach Media Lab Silver Home Theater Case

Antec Fusion Remote Max ATX Media Center

SilverStone LC16BM Black Media Center Style

I'm willing to spend 140 and I am looking to the Antec case more as I have heard only good things about Antec's products. But the Silverstone looks like it can hold more etc and looks nicer to boot. What do you guys think?

Looking at those, I'd go Antec as it has bigger fans (which you can therefore run quieter), powere supply away from the CPU cooler and rubber grommets to hold any disk drives.

But then I'm more interested in quiet over performance

i suppose, but i could just swap the fans for quieter ones, replace cpu cooler to a mini scythe ninja and that should solve my sounds problem?
