| |
| − | Full details are at the website, but this case supports both full size and micro ATX boards. Supports one external 5.25" devices (specifically a DVD drive) and one external 3.5" devices (hidden behind a sliding door). There's also space for three internal 3.5" drives.

| − | All of the "official" reviews of this product claim that the case is too cramped to install a full size ATX board. They, of course, for their review installed a MicroATX board. I have this case and had no trouble at all installing a full size ATX board with a video card and 4 full size PCI cards (1 Nvidia 6200, 3 TV tuner cards a 1 PCI 802.11 b/g card). I still have 1 free PCI slot. In fact, it was easier for me than some cases I've had that were designed for full size ATX.

| − | This case is a good choice for a small, nice looking (I have the black piano finish), cheap ($50 new) HTPC case that supports a full ATX board.

| − | Nmedia really wants you to install as a tower. No easy way to flip the LCD screen be able to read when using the case in a horizontal (non-tower) configuration. Unlike the reviews I read, the one that I got had the rubber feet already mounted for a tower configuration - they were easily removed and relocated to mount horizontally.

| |
| − | The biggest issue is if you install horizontally the "front" USB and Firewire ports are inaccessable (The end up on the bottom).
