Help needed with Urgent Media Centre PC case hunt

Hi all,

My Antec Aria case has died and been returned under warranty.  I need to
source another case asap so I can get the media centre back up and
recording stuff.  I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions of a
suitable case.  I've tried hunting around on google and the like, but I
really need personal suggestions of kit that works.

I already have all the hardware to fit inside the case, but am prepared
to sacrifice (ebay) some stuff if I need to make changes to fit it all
into the new case.

I have:
Micro ATX motherboard,
AMD Sempron processor
2 512Mb RAM
2 Hauppage Nova-T Digital TV cards
3.5" SATA drive
Fanless AGP Video card to support digital link to LCD Tv.
DVD RW drive

Case requirements in order of priority.

Similar size to the Aria, I can't use the long thin cases such as the
Silverstone LC11 as its too big to fit on the shelf. (Aria is 20 (H) x
26,9 (W) x 33,5 (D) cm)
Quiet, or can be easily made quiet.  The media pc sits next to the TV,
so any noise quickly becomes apparent.
Room to fit both the TV cards, and the video card.
Can fit a VF text display somwhere on the case front.
Room for the DVD drive somewhere, ideally with a stealth front.

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.

Simon
