Looking to make a sleek mini-ITX or microATX machine for a home server/media centre suitable for a living room.

I've been checking out the cooler master elite 120, but I was wondering if there are other cases out there that have a sleeker design, not more than £100 ($160) and have room for a dedicated GPU? What do you guy recommend?

Hi there,
I've just brought myself the Corsair Obsidian Series 350D (MicroATX) for £95 (windowed) about £85-90 (solid side panel)
It is absolutely fantastic!!
Brilliant Cable Management, Dust Covers, Upto 5 Fans, Comes with 2 Fans, Removable SSD Cage, Beautiful Design, I am more than happy with this, I'll be using this case for my gaming rig, using a GeForce GTX 760 GPU..
If your interested about...
The best one that I've found for a more serious rig is the Bitfenix Prodigy. It's almost perfect, and easy enough to mod that perfect isn't very far away.

For a LAN / gaming rig that needs good ventilation, it is the small form factor case, but if you're looking for an HTPC, you're probably talking low thermal wattage parts, and thus could definitely get away with smaller parts.
