My First HTPC

[NIM]

Hi guys,

I plan to build my first HTPC (Home Theatre PC) and I need some help from all of you who uses one of this machines..

You probably already know that one of the most important things is a quiet case and I'm currently browsing to find the good, but also not to expensive one.

What do you think or recommend from these cases:

or my favorite so far:

Any recommendations or help is greatly appreciated..

personally i would go with the one from the second link. the description points out that it runs cool and quiet, plus with it being a bit larger youre free to add larger (and possibly cheaper) hardware.

You can't go wrong with Antec. Personally I would prefer the second link, mainly because the twin 120mm fans would be quieter (and move more air) than the other one with 80mm fans. Also, the extra HDD bay won't hurt either.

I say build your own
