QUOTE(moderno @ Jun 23 2007, 11:16 PM) it's a little hard to ask for a casing that are spacious enough to hold 3 x 120mm radiator and in the same time light for hand carry for a spacious case...i can only think of cooler master stacker or silverstone TJ07 / TJ09  of course those cases are spacious enough to hold 3x120mm radiator.. but to be handy and durable to carry around...

QUOTE(Doom @ Nov 21 2007, 01:36 AM) SUGO-03 should do the job. Two at the bottom, and one at the optical drive zone. how much is it? and will the case provide a good airflow? considering that using 3 hdds gonna heat up the system

QUOTE(chyu89 @ Aug 7 2008, 07:27 PM) I though HTPC is meant to be compact? and u want spacious?  haha by spacious, i mean not too cramped, and it can hold at least 3 HDDs becoz most slim case can only support up to 2 HDDs only

QUOTE(hypermax @ Aug 7 2008, 08:57 PM) I think you better get a small ATX size casing eg Lian Li PC-05. Cooling is definitely good, and more room for expansion. Other options: CS238 FULL ALUMINIUM HTPC CHASSIS LinkCan fit 4 hdd (5 if you can find the converter), also the cooling is superb, as well as the built quality (4mm thick aluminum) er, i dun think that PC-05 is small..after all, the size is almost same with my previous PC-G7.. but the 2nd choice is nice..hope it wont be too cramped.. any other choices? if possible, i prefer alu rather than secc
