Opus 150 - Good Mini-ITX cases?

I've got an Opus 150 that I've been using caseless, but in my new install I'd like to find a case that it could fit into if it's practical.

Can anyone suggest an amplifier-looking-style case that the big ol' 150 will fit into?

For instance, I was looking at this one from MoCoSo:

Or the VoomPC case:

or something similar.

Thanks!

I have the MoCoSo one and when it comes to ventilation, it is poorly designed. On a hot day my low power Via M10000 gets up to 70C. Had to fit an extra fan and a bit of improvised cardboard ducting on the inside of the case to lower the temp.

You will probably get better ventilation with the VoomPC, but I initially chose the MoCoSo for its better looks.

Ah! Thanks for the heads up. Didn't think of cooling deficiencies. I'm using an M10000 too, so this is good info.
