Tiny but VERY functional and durable. Excellent cooling, although the Intel motherboard and associated chips run cool anyway. You may need to slide a thin piece of cardboard under the DVD drive to align it with the notch. The blue lights look great. I wish there were more mods for this in the future. then it would be the ULTIMATE home theater enclosure (none of these currently fit Ultimate imo). It would be nice to have 2 antenna holes on the back of the case for a U.fl/Ipex to RP-SMA cable (the mobo cover has 1 hole but it's flimsy). Next is a two-piece front panel that allows you to place either a Microtivity module or an nMedia display. Probably the most important change. At least 1 front USB 3 output for cameras or USB sticks. last thought if you don't wanna go crazy Install Windows 7, NOT Windows 8. Win8 is LOVELY and maybe even more so for home theater.
