I like it. Not as beautiful as some nicer cases but it is a step in the right direction. Hopefully by the time this reaches the shelves there will more options from other vendors. As soon as Valve finally finishes their controller all these sff cases should improve. I don't know about the rest...

Haha, I might go ahead and get the v550. My main pc is in a node 304 that can still take an ATX sized PSU. The old BeQuiet SFX I am still using is lost in this case and makes too much noise. If I get a smaller case next year then I will try the SFX-L

@seanclayton How is that V650? Is it quiet?

When does this go on sale? Seen two reviews this week, want to see it for real.

Getting there:

I decided to share this build here to help some of the people who have questions about their own builds and what works in the real world. From initial tests the hardware is more than capable of playing mkv movies, its responsive and gives a smooth overall experience. Windows 7 has been...

First off the case, a very important piece due to the size constraints of basic plan. LC-Power LC-1320mi 75W mITX http://www.schwanthaler-computer.de/pc-komponenten/gehaeuse/mini-itx/1356/geh-lc-power-lc-1320mi-75w-mitx Cheap and plain looking but it does the job. Pico type PSU with...

Hi all, My htpc has seen some long hours of use in the last 2-3 years. Especially with my old flat mate watching entire seasons of TV shows on a daily basis. Looking back it has provided so much entertainment to me and my friends, tv shows, movies and listening to music.It really has been a...

I normally always bought Samsung mechanical hard drives but at the moment they don't seem to be readily available where I am. So now I will probably look for another manufacturer to replace a failed non OS disk. I have an SSD as my OS drive and I'm very happy with it, but I need a larger...

Hi, I would like to buy a s775 motherboard, matx or atx, must support Q9550, and DDR3, otherwise not fussy, tell me what you have and how much! Any Geforce GT430, half size for HTPC, any model. Shipping is to Germany Thanks for looking

Take a look at J.River media jukebox, I started using it recently and its my favourite so far.

mikey967 - thats a nice tidy case, it just doesn't have enough room for my 3 hdd's.

It was an experiment with putting the electronics on display, it did get some very good reactions from people who came into the appartment, typically - 'WTF is that?' Thanks for all the comments, I took another look at it today and I have moved it into the tv stand so it is hidden away now for...

Very quiet, I don't notice it even when just using the internet, I sit about 2 meters from it and there are only two fans. The CPU fan is a stock intel, the thermaltake fan on the HDD's is quiet aswell. And only using onboard graphics. I wish my main rig was that quiet
