Well I needed yet another case for my fifth computer build. I have an Abit BH7 with a celery 1.7 oc'ed to 2.0 is sitting in a box unused. So I ordered some Crucial PC2100 that is claimed to run higher than that for $37 (256Meg). Have a Matrox G400 for video and a 4Gig hdd in an old Dell machine. Anyway, I needed a case that was low profile but could hold a full size mb. So here's the case I have on order:

It should look like it's part of the DVD and VCR system I have under the TV. :)

The price is around $120 where ever you look after you add the shipping cost. Seems a little high to me but I compared the cost of forgoing the current mb I have with a mATX board and there was only a $20 difference to go that way with a good mATX case. newegg has the case and it cost me $117. It's for building HTPC systems but you can at least use full-size ATX instead of the usual mATX that many of the HTPC cases are. The Overture is in the same class as the Sonata. Antec currently has three cases in the 'Lifestyles' series: Sonata (Tower), Overture (Desktop), and Minuet (mATX). All are quiet cases.
