Review on Silverstone Tek ML04B: High-Quality Micro ATX Media Center/HTPC Case in Sleek Black Aluminum Design by Antoine Collins

So this is the first mini-ITX case I've used. As a PC case, it's pretty standard, but there are a few quirks. All details fit perfectly. PSU, hard drive bay and motherboard are as expected. I like the magnetic fan filter that allows you to place the filter in one of several possible locations without screws. I love that you can add an optional slot-load DVD drive - you can use your laptop's slot-load DVD drive without worrying about finding a drive with the right color outline, and slot-load drives will appeal to people who like a sleek case. For airflow and fans, this is a great buy in this case. You have room for 4 SSDs, lots of cables and at least 4 or 5 additional fans. The only downside is the case's USB 3.0 cables. They only connect to motherboards with a 16-pin notched socket. On older motherboards where you have 2 small 8 pin headers for an external USB port like I have on mine you have to omit the front USB ports. My project was to find the cheapest quad core ITX board and I got it for about $25 (ecs bat j1800). Thankfully I still have to use a USB hub for my project so I didn't get confused.
