Customer Reviews

HTPC case
Pro: Good case for an HTPC . looks like a sound receiver. Allow 2 dvd reader / writers and a standard size ATX motherboard. Lower fan is noisy, and I disconnected it. When you choose a power supply, try to get one with the fan on top , and to avoid a mess of cables , choose modular cables (I did not, and useless cables are all over).
Con: the case is quite deep .
Not really a con, but as the space is tight, be sure that the connectors on the motherboard you add are placed adequately (particularly if you install the lower dvd).

Nice case, good price
This is a lovely looking case at a very good price. The 3 included fans are a little loud but for about $15 you can get 3 nice, temp-controlled, quiet replacements. Even with the additional $15 for the fans the case is still a good deal.

It would have been better to eliminate the "EVO" logo on the upper left corner which was not shown in the picture of the case on the web. This was easily fixed with an AMD sticker that came with the processor.

Believe it or not this case will actually hold 4 hard drives - a plus for a media center box.

Great price for an HTPC case
This case is a great deal for the price. It has a nice finish that will blend in with your other equipment in your entertainment system. The front plate is removable to help install dvd and floppy drives (if u still have one) and the top and bottom of the case can be removed as well. The case does not come with a manual, so I can't recommend the case for a first-time builder. Cooling can be challenging, and mounting the hard drives aren't entirely intuitive. One hard drive can mount to the right of the dvd drive, and two more can be mounted over the vents alone the east and west walls of the case. To achieve decent temps I had to install an additional 120mm fan over one of the vents, so I only have two hdd's installed. The power supply uniquely installs towards the front of the case so make sure the outlet and switch are on the right side of the PSU and the fan is located on the top, or it will be incompatible with the front plate. Overall good value.
