ATX HTPC case recommendations?

I've been searching around but it looks like there aren't many HTPC cases that accept ATX motherboards - only micro ATX. I came across a couple but the cases were either ugly or looked like they'd be inefficient at cooling quietly.

If I can find a good ATX case, then I can simply put one of my old computers in the new case and be done with it. If I'm forced to go micro ATX then I'd have to buy new parts across the board.

Antec and Silverstone and Origin all make HTPC cases that take ATX. I just bought the Silverstone LC-17 for my ATX board and I'm quite pleased with it.

Check 'em out at PC Alchemy. Most of those cases take ATX.

No problem.

There are two really good sources for info about HTPC's....one is the forums at htpcnews.com (just the forums...the rest of the site has largely died). And missingremote.com is good for news and some forum help.

I did a mini-review of the Silverstone LC-20 at avsforum.com . It accepts ATX boards. There is alot of other HTPC case information there as well.
