That is just audio/video equipment though. I don't see anything about HTPC cases.

However I want an HTPC that will make high end audio equipment like what they sell.

MUSE PC-C33

Or this? PicoCool - Athena Multimedia Sofa with an integrated computer

If Lian Li made an HTPC factor form case w/ the elegance of the X2000. I would be extremely happy. Same goes w/ Silverstone and the TJ07.

But no the X2000 is way too big to sit in an audio/video rack. Same w/ the V351.

That Moneual looks alright, but way to small. I want something that I can watercool w/ at least a 2x80mm radiator or a 120mm radiator.

I am leaning very heavily towards the Luxa2 LM300 if I can find one anywhere.

Hmm. Your requirements set the bar quite high, limiting the number of possibilities. But once you know exactly what you want, it's only a matter of finding it.

External rads? I water-cooled my server in a 2U rackmount case easily with dual 90* barbs per block.

edit: External rads... mod a Lili Xbox case until it's silent? I used Koolance quick disconnects on the tubing to allow removal of the case without removing any of the wc components (res, pump, rad).

I think it can be more easy if you post a pics of the surround where you want to put it , I means the component, to give us an idea of what to match with.

And we know you are a dam good photographer

My HTPC won't have any hard drives So I don't really think I need a 3U case

Yes I have very high requirements. Nearly too high. At least w/ standard PC cases you can almost always find a case that will fit your needs. W/ HTPC cases there isn't much of a high end selection at all.

I am not a fan of external radiators at all. I even don't like having radiators having off the back of the case. I am one picky dood.
