HTPC cases: help me pick the top 10! :)

CW02 has that odd appearance because it was deliberately designed to match Marantz's hi-fi gear.
I can see how it still may not appeal, different tastes for different folks, it's a tad bit tall also, but that gives it some advantages.
If the LCD display on the CW02 is too bright then I'm sure there's a way to "dim" it, if not in software then via a hw mod/hack.

It's a shame the CW03 doesn't have: 2x or more 92mm fan vents or at least 1x 120mm vent, a more understated display, + a few other things.
It'd be tricky to ignore if it did...

I'm just trying to decide which colour is best, silver or black, & then I'm pulling the trigger, any ideas there anyone?
I'm leaning more towards black, as most of Marantz's gear is that colour, aside from their reference series, which are silver/gold.
