I'm building a compact HTPC and need a case that won't stick out too far. Any recommendations for sleek, quiet, low‑profile cases that support Mini‑ITX and have good ventilation?

Check out the Fractal Design Node 304. It's only 3.4″ tall, supports up to 3 drives, and has good airflow. Also look at the SilverStone DS380. Both are great for silent builds.

The InWin Chopin is another tiny option (just 8.1 cm height) but it uses a PicoPSU, so keep the power budget low. It's great if you only need a small fan and a 2.5” SSD.
