This review is from: Rosewill R101-P-BK 120mm Fan MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
Inexpensive, small enough not to be an eye-sore as a HTPC case.
Cons:
Not the most aesthetically pleasing case. HD vibrations travel throughout the case easily (using a Seagate PATA drive). Doesn't seem possible to add screws to both sides of a HD (the cage isn't removable). The HD activity LED makes a high pitched sound when it lights up. Most people probably wouldn't notice it, but it was annoying enough to me to merit a disconnection. Lastly, there isn't much space to tuck away or hide cables.
Overall Review:
In contrast with what one other reviewer said, the motherboard I/O panel IS removable-- you just have to twist it a few times to pop it out (careful not to cut your hand!). Easily fits my heatsink: Scythe Mini Ninja. Can't comment on the case fan, as I immediately replaced it with a quiet one by Scythe.
