I like building computers. Lately I've been enjoying playing around with HTPCs. Bought until I could afford a low profile GPU and go back to my old mATX case. Let me tell you this thing is small. I had an action plan to put things here and, as others have suggested, put the floppy disks first. Long story short, I spent way too much time assembling and disassembling it due to obstructions or weird cable management. I'm not sure how much of a role my inexperience played in that. One thing that wasn't really great is that you have to be very careful and precise with the riser screw because it will grab and ruin everything. You have to undo the screws and take out the mobo to free them, which is a real hole. Another point is that the model I got only has the front inlet gap at the bottom. Another user drilled holes in this bottom panel for ventilation and after my temperature test tonight I will do the same. This is a cheap case and fits the budget. while maintaining a full graphics card without going into Silverstone's $80-$120 territory.
