     With the HTPC becoming a more and more common item to be found in the home, the choice of cases in which to build your dream PC has greatly increased.  The ability to stream music and movies as well as access the internet from the comfort of the couch is quickly becoming as easily found as the desktop and computer room.  HTPC cases find themselves having to accomplish a lot more tasks than the average PC case, though.  They must not only house and cool the computer components, but they must also be stylish enough to fit into a living room environment where the machine will be more prominently on display that a normal PC.
