Customer Reviews

Full ATX slim HTPC case
Good HTPC case fits a standard power supply and full ATX motherboard, the only cons is some motherboard will not fit if the location of the PCI-E slot is at the middle.

Almost perfect (media software w/remote rocks but too deep).
Nobady beleives it's a computer. It looks like a stereo. The slim half hight is what made me purchase it as well as the remote. The full hight does not come tih the media software and remote. You can use the remote to eject and close the DVD/blu-ray player as well as in windows by right clicking then eject. I use the 3.5" for media cards so the door (cover) is almost allways closed. It is flimsey but it does push click open and closed and there is no need to use it if you don't have anything in the 3.5" bay. The HD led is a bit bright (overpowers the power led). I had to replace the fans with PCP&cooling Silencer case fans. I holds a full size board but I use a micro with a riser for sli video.Modular PSU cuts down on cables. My only complaints are the riser card kit was optional for the micro XT (extra $25) and the depth is too long and limits where you can place it.

Not a quality case
I bought and promptly returned this case (Amazon.com is awesome).

In short 1) bad flip panel design and 2) no DVD eject button on front panel. Why are these a deal breaker? Read on...

While I had high expectations given the features and low profile, I quickly realized that this is not the case to base a marketable HTPC around. The fold down panel that gives access to the two external bays (5.25" and 3.5") is very poorly made. It rarely latched properly and when it did, the next time the unlatch would rarely work properly. In checking to see if a broken part was to blame, it was apparent that it is simply a poor latch design. The hinges and springs look under designed as well.

In trying to rationalize that this was not a deal breaker, I then realized that while the flip down panel included a door for the 5.25" media drive, the button remained on the inside. So if I am in front of the device w/o a remote, I had to flip the poorly designed larger panel door down to eject the drive. UNACCEPTABLE. This same flip down panel also made the lines look unsymmetrical and flimsy.

Conclusion - If this was designed with a stealth 5.25" door and a button, and no flip down panel at all (who needs 3.5" anymore), it would be a deal.
