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

Overall, this is a solid case with efficient use of space. However, I wouldn't put a GPU, 3.5-inch hard drive or optical drive in it. Due to the layout of this case, installing fans on the side is a challenge. If you use anti-vibration dowels instead of screws, lateral installation is almost impossible, at least the top fan is much easier to install, but unfortunately the problems don't end there. Installing anything other than a fan on top will block airflow to the CPU cooler. Many coolers only allow fans to be installed in one direction, so they end up trying to pull air in from the top. You can have the side fans pointing inward, but then they will interfere with the CPU cooler airflow. Be sure to choose your cooler and top component carefully. In addition to CPU cooling issues, any GPU you install will not be able to cool properly. Fan type GPUs will likely perform better, but even their flow will be limited by the PSU, power cables, and drive cage. Standard GPUs with fans will have serious heat issues as there is nowhere to suck or blow air. I haven't had any issues with the buttons on the front, but they seem weak.
