Just realised that my AV stand only has a shelf height of 150mm. So that has ruled out most of the HTPC cases I was looking at.
I want a sleek looking, (pref Black) case. Width and depth is not an issue, but height really is. And I guess it would make top or bottom fans impossible (not sure if any cases have them) but top and bottom air circulation could also be an issue.
So, are there any short cases that fit the bill that people are happy with? Please suggest makes and models and I can search, or please paste links to suitably tall cases.
What height can I sensibly come down to? Are there likely to be PSU issues?
Thanks.
EDIT: should probably add that nothing has been bought yet, but I intend to run a pinnacle 7010ix with twin DVB S and T inputs. I will use onboard GFX and sound. So no additional cards for those. Probably only have one disc drive and one (maybe 2) HDD. So not much needs to go in the case.
