The Thermaltake DH-101 is a great looking HTPC. This is the most important aspect of such a case. It has to fit into your AV rack and offer the functionality you would be used to from a DVD player or video recorder. You get all that in form of a large volume knob, remote control and graphical VFD. The interior of the DH-101 sports the same piano paint job as the outside which looks just as great and it would have been nice to see every part within the case - including the inner side of the cover - to be painted the same way. While the case can not fit a top of the line graphic card, there are plenty of entry level variants available today, which can handle all the intended tasks of a HTPC. While the price in Europe seems to be on par with other, similar enclosures, it does seem to lack some of the overall construction quality of these other offerings. In the end what counts for such a case is the look and feel. The DH-101 certainly delivers on looks, but seems to fall a bit short on "feel".
