nMedia HTPC 288-BA Case Review

Not the most revolutionary case, but it's good to see manufacturers sticking with the market that's clearly there. One thing I can't stand personally is the front showing connection ports. Just sticks out like a sore thumb IMHO.

Features include the hideaway optical bay cover to make everything neat and clean, as well as things like 3 hard drive bays and solid cooling features. While I was a little disappointed that the enclosure was not compatible with a full sized ATX motherboard, at least you aren’t limited with the power supply. Considering the heavy power requirements needed for modern system components, this is a good thing.
