Review on 💪 Compact and Powerful: Discover the Silverstone Mini ITX Center DH61AG PT12B by Alfred Paiz

This very slim case is ideal for advanced home theater PC builders. Its dimensions roughly correspond to those of a normal thin DVD player. Installing an optical drive requires a slot-load drive, which is used in laptops and is widely available on the Internet. I believe the motherboards for this case are actually known as Micro-ATX types. I found the mounts for my Micro-ATX motherboard and DVD drive to be functional and easy to use. Even though the power supply for these Micro-ATX motherboards is an external 18V brick, I was able to fit it into the case on the empty left side. This required additional holes on the back of the case, which may be inconvenient for some builders. This case requires an ultra-thin CPU cooler, which is easy to find online. My finished HTPC runs very cool and quiet. The top of the case should not be covered, as the cooler must be ventilated with the fan and air is sucked into the case on the left side. An important note: be careful when choosing SATA cables for all hard drives. The case easily accommodates two 2.5-inch drives and a DVD drive, but due to the case's low height, connections to both drives, as well as to my motherboard's SATA sockets, become tight. left hand to face in the right direction when exiting my motherboard. This is the most difficult and crowded area and will be challenging for a novice builder. I recommend this case for those who have experience building PCs in sealed cases. I used this case based on the assembler article for Maximum PC magazine and it was very helpful to list all the sources and notes on the assembler. I don't think you will find a nicer result.
