This Antec (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129054&Tpk=antec%20fusion) is a good case. I have an older silver one but you don't say what GPU you are using. I wouldn't stick a high end card in it but a 5770 or something that vents out the back would be good.

Any GPU in mind? MicroATX or full sized?

Define "full-size". Are you talking about full vs half height or are you talking about length?

This one's real pretty, just found it the other day. Too bad I don't have the $$ or space for it...

O_O Holy crap, that's actually a really good looking stock HTPC case! Where did that come from! None of their other stuff is particularly interesting...well, except for this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811204041), but it's something else entirely.

I haaate antiques. By full sized I just mean the higher end monsters that everyone runs into space issues with.

Basically I need a HTPC-type case on steroids. I just need a larger flat mobo layout and laying a regular tower on it's side is out of the question.

Same company makes this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811204037. Since it's ATX it should fit most cards.

Define "HTPC-like". Are you just looking for a desktop form factor? Certain aesthetics?

This should work.
