Just built my new HTPC using this case. Its pretty slick and perfect for a minimalist HTPC.

I don't use a disk drive and it doesn't have a disk slot.
I use 2 drives ssd + 4 TB drive and it only hold 2 drives.


I wasn't planning on posting anything but this case is completely perfect for what I needed. I found no flaws. at 50 bucks it gets a perfect score from me.

My old HTPC died so this is a replacement and using some of its parts.

New
128 Gig SanDisk Ultra SSD - $90
ASUS P8H77-I - $100
Intel Core i3-3225 - $145

Old
Ram Gskill sniper
Antec earthwatts EA430


I'm just using Onboard Graphics with the Intel chip and Lucid Virtu MVP on the board.

Putting It in a cheap bookshelf I'll have some pics of it in there.
 
damn I wish they have the V2 available its even smaller and just as sexy.

So I finally got it fully pieced together and I snapped some more photo's....There on my phone so I won't get them up for a day or so.

A few things to note. it has under 8 inches for a video card so you'll have to get a short card if you go that route.

The case material is very very thin, high quality, but thin. this is great because it makes it light. 3lbs. Not so great because it is a bit weak. If you were to put pressure on it the in the wrong spot it would surely bend.

Still have 0 complaints though
 
Where did you buy it?

It seems to be a new brand. There is no video in youtube about it.
 
FWIW, it's 1.5mm. The cases I use are 2mm and seem pretty tough. I guess that 25% reduction in thickness makes a big difference.
