HTPC Horizontal cabinet - Help Req!

[sam9s]

HI all,

I am building an HTPC for my friend, he wants to have a quality horizontal ITX mobo case (not the typical CM Elite E100). Below are the requirements ......

1. Only ITX Mobo ... Not ATX or micro atx (only ITX like E350)
2. standard ATX PSU (No SFX PSU as they are hard to find or too expensive)
OR a case where PSU is included(then it obviously can be any varient).
3. Atleast 1 3.5" HDD bay
4. Slim optical drive bay (not standard 5.25)

Budget is 10000-11000 including PSU

I seriously am not able to find anything with the above specs in the given budget. Its either 15K+ range or if its under 10 then any of the above criteria is not met .....

PLease help me here friends to find a cabinet ..

Regards
Sammy

I was also having the Same requirement. A branded mini itx horizontal one Is currently not available even If some online pages show otherwise. You will Have to settle for a cube or wait till something Is available in market.

HTPC cabby's are expensive in India due to relatively low demand.
I used a amp cabinet and customized it for my HTPC.
Got it for 500 rs at sp road.
But of course you will need a dremel like tool to customize the case and a bit of planning.
