Pros: Everything works flawlessly with the case, VFD, Volume Knob, Silence. Like I said, this case makes for a great HTPC, it blends in with the receiver I have and also the Plasma and rack it is on. Unit looks great and is built very sturdy. The included software worked flawlessly but was outdated, updated to the new software and you guessed it.. worked flawlessly yet again. Have been doing PC and HTPC builds for many years and this was a very pleasurable design to work with. Loads of room under the hood and excellent rubber straps for handy and neat cable management all while promoting great airflow. Lastly, the case is extremely silent. With the computer on and browsing the web or watching blu-ray movies you can never hear it, even at 2 feet from the unit you have to have your ear right up to it to hear any noise at all. Uses Antec Tri-cool fans to exhaust air out of the right side. Overall I am very pleased with the unit and will recommend it to customers.
Cons: The optical drive mount can be trouble at times as certain optical drives have different mounting holes or positions which do not allow it to mount withing range of the push button on the front. This causes you to not be able to truely push the button on the front. Problem was remedied by using a different optical drive, but is something that you should know.
Overall Review: Used to house a Quad Core HTPC running at 3.0ghz with 4 gigs or RAM and a 9800GT. Works flawless and stays silent at the same time. Highly recommended
