Silverstone Lascala LC17B Black HTPC Case

For the money I am Very Happy with this case. It is tight getting it all together, and I did install a modular power supply, which saves some of the limited space. I have a video card, tuner card, and wireless network card. I installed 2 DVD drives, and 2 Hard disks, and 2 extra fans. I still have room for 3 more 3.5 bays but if I were to use them I would be concerned about the temp issue, these would have to be HD since they dont have exterior access. As it is now, with my config it is cool, fast, and quite, a sleek exterior design fits well with my other components. I can understand how some posts discussed the shallowness, but it works in my favor, and was another reason I selected this model.

Looks great, very high build quality with very quiet fans.The front flap doesn't open the way you expect to. The Power and HDD LEDs are too bright and the case needs to be deeper - only 3 drive bays are useable if you have a large graphics card.I would recommend using a modular PSU to reduce the amount of extra cables cluttering up the box if you can afford it.Overall it's a good buy if you want something that looks good, blends in well and you don't want a lot of bells and whistles.

i've had one of these cases for the last 5 months. only problem i see with the case is it is too shallow. if it was another 4-6'' deeper, it would be better [depth is not an issue for my rack mounting]
