Cases are a bit hard. While there are Mini-ITX cases, they are all expensive, and come with power supplies. I think your best bet would be to make something yourself. Also if you planned on streaming to it, you could go with either a laptop HDD or a SSD, for less power and noise (although that HDD is a low power/noise model). Or you could boot off a USB drive for a cheap and silent solution, although it would be slower and smaller storage.
This comes to $215 ($165 w/o HDD) shipped (plus sales tax NJ, CA, or TN), for a HTPC that can do 1080p, with 6 USB, eSATA, VGA, DVI, HDMI, 5.1.
