Recommend mini ITX case (HTPC)

HB13DISH

I am looking for a mini ITX case to house a mini ITX motherboard.
It is not going to be a HTPC, more like a mini server.
It doesn't have to be fancy. Just a good looking design with thermal dissipation capability.
Members who have a HTPC can give their input about what they have and if they are happy with their case.
Thanks for your input.

No recent experience, but about 3 years ago got a board (VIA M1000) and case from these people - h__p://www.icp-epia.co.uk for 99 GBP but found it a bit underpowered for HTPC use. They don't have that one now but have a fair range of cases. A lot of mini ITX cases seem to assume media centre and cost an arm and a leg but they seem to have some at reasonable prices. Some of the car_PC cases look like they'd have good heat dissipation

Thanks pgh13.
You are absolutely right about the prices.
It is ridiculous that nowadays the case is more expensive than the whole electronics inside.
I like the Travla products

I might go for Model C158, a bit on the heavy side with 8lbs, presumably with the AC-DC external adapter.

Not a case....it's a fashion statement :-)
