TomsHardware (courtesy of DenGuru.com) is conducting a reivew of a bunch of HTPC cases. While they don't include all the cases mentioned in this forum, they do include some nice pictures and desciptions of the cases they do review. (The story is part of an on-going DIY HD HTPC article of which this is the first part.)

Tom's has helped me in more than one hardware decision. Great site and I'm glad to see the HTPC article. I'll definitely give it a look.  Grin

Tom's has now posted part II which includes motherboards, memory, and power supply. I was a little dissappointed the only used mini-ATX, but otherwise not a bad read. I got the impression they might actually put the OS on one of those RAM drives.

Any thoughts?
