“Designing a full ATX HTPC case must be very complicated; it’s not like you can simply take a tower case and flip it down to its side! An HTPC case must be slim, quiet, and aesthetic.Making a low-profile case is even trickier. You have to deal with installing peripherals horizontally, and trying to squeeze in as many components as you can, including the power supply.
