SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum front panel, 0.8 mm SECC body Lascala Series LC17-B ATX Media Center / HTPC Case

Silverstone’s SST-LC17-B case takes the classic desktop configuration and updates it for use as an HTPC. The front panel is stark in design with few things marring the surface. The four USB ports, FireWire port and audio ports are hidden behind a door when not in use and the two optical drive bays have color matched panels.

Inside the case there is as much space as a standard tower. There are six internal 3.5” bays so you can set up a huge storage array with RAID data security. The motherboard tray will handle both micro and standard ATX boards. There are also seven full height expansion slots. So, with the right choices in components this one box can eliminate a number of standard AV components.
