I think it looks pretty nice...it's cheap...
Anyone ever seen one or worked with one? Any other thoughts/comments?
 
Pretty good case from what I hear. One of the most common things when it comes to HTPCs is that many just find a suitable, cheal case and start with that then later move onto one of the more HTPC style cases like some of Silerstone's cases or the Divine series. Personally I feel that the majority of HTPC cases still look like PC parts playing pretend A/V gear so I'm trying to build a few cases of my own.

Anyways you should pick out a case that fits your current and future needs. I've seen some just use a regular desktop case while they try to find their perfect case (I've got mine sitting in an ass ugly Antec)
 
I'm not a fan of Ahanix cases- they just always seem to be poorly designed and built... but thats just my personal experience- if this one meets your requirements in terms of looks and functionality, then i'd say to of for it

IMO, this Inwin case is better built and has a better psu (FSP Manufactured) for the money http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-108-278&depa=0 but it may not be flashy enough for you.

I also like Coolermaster's ATC-620 series.... but its alot about personal preference with these things.

I personally have a Shuttle SN45G for my HTPC....

I'm a fan of Enlight stuff- they do a decent job with their case, especially for the price.

i see a lot of pontential in that case, but it looks like it would take a lot of work to make it look really good.

My case is very similar in design and measurements and i love having all that room to work with. I dremelled out the rear fan grills for better airflow (helped a lot!) I also have two of those enlight 300w psu's and they're high quality all the way. The cases standard atx design will allow psu upgrades in the future. Def post some pics when you're done.

Here's my case btw: http://www.directron.com/blackdesktop.html
