Home Theater PC Case Reviews

Anandtech has a HTPC case roundup comparing four cases suited for your future media center PC: 3R Mstation HT-100, Antec Overture II, Lian Li PC-800B, and the Thermaltake Tenor. The final results weren’t that clear, but they seem to like the Overture:

In our own opinion, the Tenor makes the boldest statement aesthetically and would probably fit in nicely with a more modern d�cor. At the other end of the spectrum is the more discrete Mstation, but with the problems with both of these case's optical drive systems, it's a bit of a gamble if they're the right case for you. Looking at the heat and noise charts alone, the Overture II appears to be a solid winner, and it's true that if noise and temperatures are the most important aspects, that would be a smart choice.

All of the cases go for about 100 bucks – so what’s the best case to get for a custom Media Center PC?
