Status


This case makes a perfect LinuxMce solution! I am using it with a Pentium4 processor, an Intel 850E Chipset, and 250GB HDD. My CPU is passively cooled so NO NOISE. If you are planning on buying a heat sink and fan for your PSU, please take the time to read and make sure that it fits the case as this is a desktop. Also, a specialized cooling fan for your GPU is almost out of the question do to the cases height dimensions. The case is long and so if you have an enclosed home entertainment stand then the case might not fit. Finally, the PSU is only 380W so make sure your video card does not have extensive power requirements. If your video card is a power hog then you can always replace the PSU for another full ATX PSU. The case is made to fit microATX motherboards.

Overall, the case provides easy installation of components, fully compartmentalized for cooling, and is quiet.
