Hello,
the goal was it to build a HTPC, which can be set up independently and under the television is not pushed or in the HiFi rack disappears. Further should not it too strongly after " PC" look. Since I already possess enough housings in the HiFi format (home cinema) and I did not find suitable, I decided the housing complete to building. The DVD Burner is Stealth in the front of the Base.
The Case has no Buttons, the Operation is completely Remote controlled.

So simple and sleek and contemporary, looks amazing! reminds me of that companion cube mod for some reason lol i dont know why
Just wondering if there is sufficient ventilation, as I don't see an airflow path.

For the muppets complaining about cooling ....
you would get my 10 if the case cover would include a some sort of side panel for ease of access...
as for the temps I would like to see a screeny with cpu, gpu, NB, SB, mobo and HDD temps while on full load...and real operating conditions i.e. movie playback and maybe a game....
anyway well worth the 8/10...well done
may i suggest could you change your ccfl to green..^^
it will look nicer..^^
nice build anyway 10/10 vote..^^
One problem tho!!! I am not trying to be smart, but it does make a difference, trust me !!
do you know that Hot AIR RISE ?
1st - the cool air that you are getting into your computer at the top is actually warm air that is exhausted from the bottom of your computer.
2nd- that warm air getting into your case from the top gets hotter then it accumulates at the top inside your case, you may be getting about 50% of the hot air out using that one fan at the bottom.
I suggest you add two intake 80mm fans on the side ! then have the top and bottom fans blow out the hot air created by your CPU.
Good luck, I hope that helps.. if you are overclocking or running Quad you should see 5C-10 difference ..
Edit: maxx temp of the cpu is 65°C AMD reference
