Building a green file server/home theatre computer and need a case but cant really see any. The kind of things i want is:

-Decent looking, since it will be seen
-Have at least 4 HDD bays
-Fit a mATX motherboard, no bigger
-Spend about Â£50 or around $60/70 for anyone else helping!
-Generally as small as possibly but with having those specs

Being quite picky

but hopefully someone can help me pick out one or share some good case!

thanks

Cheers for the list of cases, just been looking through them, though they all are around 500mm in height or over, i was looking for something around 400mm or under.

NZXT cases look beaut, want one for my main computer as a next case!

Sign up for the free trial of shoprunner, you get a month of free 2day shipping. I did it and its pretty awesome. Just remember to cancel before the month is up. Not worth the $80 a year imo since a lotta stuff you can get shipped for free.

Whatever gives me the cheapest price of combined delivary and item price, dabs, overclockers, scan, aria all have stupid postage prices for here. Novatech is excellent for postage to here, but dont sell the vulcan case
