Looks like I am going to build a quad processor machine for this.
Silverstone makes some pretty nice media cases. If you're not planning on doing any gaming the quad core is probably overkill. Most people like their htpc's to be pretty quit, and the small cases don't vent very well, alot also don't have room for the big video cards. So the opteron and xeon server chips are good for staying cool and quit.

Depends on the kind of system you want to build though.
