This is a concept I have been working on and have discussed in a few other threads.
I have a set of late 80's Infinity RS2001 speakers.
This design is inspiring this build.
I am going to be making a perfectly smooth wood box with rounded edges with ITX, overclocked 2550k and a 7850 2GB. Cooling will be an H100.
These are the parts so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-2550K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($266.59 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($109.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77E-ITX Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard ($139.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair XMS 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory ($120.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($122.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card ($173.98 @ Newegg)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case ($35.99 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Plus 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($74.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $1025.51
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

I am using the Coolermaster Elite 120 because it is the ideal chassis. Here is the naked chassis picture:
Here is mine, I bought the white edition for $35 after rebate and coupon code.
The yogurt and lighter are for size comparison.
I have already cut a 92mm cooling hole in the bottom as the main intake. There will be NO front panel on this case. Just a smooth wooden edge.
Heres the cut:
Air will intake from a 92x38mm fan and then be ducted into the main compartment with that cougar 120mm. The stock front fan will not be there. Remember, completely smooth wooden face. I will probably make a curved duct that routes the air up and to the back straight to the 120mm cougar. I want to keep the stock drive bay system incase I add harddrives though.
I haven't picked the fan yet, probably a 92x38mm atleast 40 cfm fan. It must be capable of operating in the horizontal position, I don't want to have it die if its a sleeve bearing, so probably a ball bearing fan like this one:

I wonder how well this fan runs at 7-9v. Might get the noise down a good bit with a rheostat.
