Pros: lcd works . fit all my parts. love the look.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: psu has 2 16 amp rails. only has 4 pin 12v plug for cpu. but if your cpu is under 95 watts it will work with 8 pin socket.

Pros: This case would be the perfect case for an Htpc. It is small, compact, very good looking. It comes with a decent power supply for a great price. I really liked the look of this case.

Cons: Case is really, really tight. The case is poorly made, the cover for the 5.25 drive bay was held on by two tiny springs. One promptly failed and could not be repaired. Had to Rma item.

Other Thoughts: Just a better hinge on the door would have made this a great case and a great value for money. However, due to this flaw it is not worth your time.

Pros: Great looking case, excellent design. Looks awesome in my entertainment center. Very quiet and cools very effeciently. Everything fits great and the LCD is a nice touch.

Cons: Not really a con.. but for a case that holds only 2 drives, 1 HDD and one Optical Drive, and having a power supply that is kinda designed fort he case.. there are way to many power connections.. like 4 sata and 4 accessory when at max you only need 2 of each. the cables are a bit tough to tuck away in places that dont interfere with airflow and there are alot of cables.. BUT it is a low profile case so not enough of a con to knock an egg off. The LCD was hangin when i first took it out of the case but i stick it back to the adheisive and all is good now.

Other Thoughts: All in all I am very happy with this case. looks gereat and its quiet. The included software for the LCD and remote is kinda finky, its a pain to set up as far as storing the media library.. but there is always Windows Meda Center which the remote does work for.. i dont have much of a need for the remote as right now i use a nMediaPC RF remote and keyboard with this and soon will be purchasing the Haupaugge WinTV2250 and will be using that remote to control everything through the HTPC

Pros: Great appearance and size for HTPC use. No heat issues and efficient PSU supplied in case. 3 stars mostly because it TECHNICALLY does it's job as a case and for how it looks in my living room. See below.

Cons: The display panel is a joke barely visible from any angle especially across the room. Also the panel is simply in the way and a hassle while putting parts in for the build. I ended up disconnecting it anyways after taking great care due to other reviewers comments on the ease of breaking it. May as well have broken it and it'd be no loss.

Other Thoughts: After a labor intensive build since everything needs removed and put back in when you are putting parts in due to it being micro ATX, I found out the power button was broken. I swapped the reset and power buttons jumpers on the motherboard due to the fact that I would have had to disassemble it, RMA, then rebuild it entirely again. I figured as a HTPC it will be controlled via my Logitech Harmony 880 and I won't use the button often enough to split hairs over but still annoying that the button shipped broken.

Pros: This case is well designed and manufactured. It looks good sitting below my television with the rest of my equipment.Three separate compartments allow for good cooling. The three case fans have manual 3 speed adjustments. When set to low, they are very quiet and provide ample air movement. However, the fans don't connect to the motherboard fan headers, but instead directly to the power supply. Having them connect to the MB and allowing it to control their speed would have been better.

Cons: Here is the except... the LCD design is seriously flawed. The LCD is stuck to the backlight barely around the edges. When received, the LCD was just hanging there. After removing the panel by the clips, and sticking the LCD back onto the backlight, it stayed for a whole 2 minutes. Rinse and repeat 5 times until I just gave up on the poorly designed LCD.

Other Thoughts: Keep in mind that this is a low-profile case and as such, everything is a tight squeeze. That is by design. Although I have worked with much tighter cases before and the layout of this case is better and easier to work with than most.

Pros: Fits well in AV setup, Good Construction, Included 80+ PSU (which is actually pretty quite)

Cons: LCD is Utterly Useless (must be removed to install HDs- read other thoughts below), 3 Case Fans Make too Much Noise (you are going to want to replace them), Optical Drive Activity Light (the on the actually optical drive) shows through the Front of the Case (through the gap around the access door)

Other Thoughts: Its not too bad a case, but I am sure there are betters out there. Install was relatively easy, a little tricky running the cables though due to the confined nature of uATX. My main gripe is: To install the HD you have to remove the LCD, problem is the LCD is attached to the backlight with a very weak adhesive. When reinstalling the LCD it kept slipping from the backlight after I had it in place. Eventually, I unplugged it and stopped using it. IMHO it is useless, shouldn't even be there. I would recommend anyone considering this case look at the larger Fusion Remote.

Pros: The case is designed for media center. Quality design and professional appearance. It mixes in with other audio / video equipment. It is super quiet. I had read a report where someone had problems with the range on the remote. I have it about 15' from the unit and it works great. I would make the same purchase again.

Cons: None that I experienced. Great unit for the price.

Other Thoughts: All of my components fit in the case without any problems: ASUS M4A785-M motherboard, AMD 245 processor, WD 640 HD, ASUS DVD, Rosewill wireless, Ubuntu 10.04.

Pros: -lots of noise reducing features
-LCD screen and remote
-great cooling
-80+ power supply
-looks awesome

Cons: -cable management is terrible
-24pin is WAY longer than it needs to be
-no second drive bay, and no way to install a second drive bay without taking out the LCD completely
-heavy :-P

Other Thoughts: They need to re-design the brackets on the LCD screen, it looks like the case itself is DESIGNED to accept a 2nd drive cage! yet, the LCDs brackets get in the way, making it in possible to use both the LCD and the second drive bay


i use a 2.5->3.5 adapter and just mounted it with 2 2.5" drives with 2 screws, i had to drill a hole for the 2nd screw as the only hole given is for a screw for the drive bay that isnt there

Pros: Roomy for a half height HTPC case, well engineered, looks like a betamax player, 80+ PSU, clock display when powered off, quiet

Cons: no mounting bracket for a second HDD, even though there is plenty of room for one

Other Thoughts: Very easy build for an HTPC, while an extra HDD bracket would be nice, it IS an HTPC case.

Pros: Fit and finish are excellent, multi-speed fans are whisper quiet and efficient at cooling the internal components, the PSU is more than adequate for a home media machine. The hard drive is contained with a removable caddy that was just big enough for me to install a 3.5" to dual 2.5" adapter so that I could house 2 Seagate Momentus 160GB drives for a striped array.

Cons: Had to RMA the first case, the LCD/VFD had become damaged in shipping, the membrane within the glass pane appeared to be ripped.
The hard drive caddy, while big enough for the adapter I mentioned above, was a pain to slide out as it requires you to first remove the LCD/VFD. The VFD is secured by two quick-release tabs that I had to apply more pressure to than I felt comfortable doing.

Other Thoughts: GA-MA785GM-US2H
Athlon II 240 Regor
4GB Patriot DDR2 800
Win7 Pro x64 + XBMC

The case cools so well I have yet to see that Regor reach 40c!
