Components:
64 GB SSD
Core i5-2500
4GB
Twin Frozr AMD 6870 (dual-slot+)
mitx mobo
Full size Power Supply
Used for: heavy gaming, movie night, transcoding
Need room for a large quiet CPU cooler and the largish video card. No storage or optical needed (other than small SSD).
Also needs good airflow, since PSU and CPU are both quiet, low-speed fans.
I've been using an old Antec Solo and I love it, but I'd like something that looks better in my entertainment stack, either in an HTPC form factor, or a smallish mITX case.
