 My wife loves it cause it's only just a little bigger than the VCR. 
It's full size so the PVR 350 fits in with no problem.   I have an
micro Atx motherboard and intel P4.   My only complaint is that the
processor fan is VERY loud. remidiable by purchasing a quieter fan.  I
had an AMD mobo combo in this case earlier this year and it was wisper
quiet so i know it wasnt the case.
