This review is from: SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum front panel, 0.8 mm SECC body Lascala Series LC16B-M ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Pros:
Good looking case. Many people have commented "where the computer?" thinking that this was an amp or something. Case fans were not loud when controlled by my motherboard. VFD display is nice.
Cons:
Hard drive mounting is a joke. No rubber grommets or anything, so my hard drives were WAY loud. The mounting seemed to actually amplify their sound, it was quieter with them sitting on top of the case. This of course made the case unusable as an HTPC so I sold it after a frustrating year of ownership.
Overall Review:
Would be alright if you used a SSD to eliminate noise. But even the quietest systems make noise which is not pleasant in a theater room. I would up mounting a noisy computer outside the room and running a long usb and hdmi cable. Now my theater is silent and I didn't need a $300 case...
