  Introduction

Madshrimps (c)


More and more case manufacturers are offering unique cases for HTPC purpose. This rapidly growing market focuses on people who want to use a computer in their living room without having the ordinary tower case look.
Perhaps, a case that wouldn't look much different than VCR or DVD player would certainly be interesting for a lot of people. Luckily, today we'll be testing such a case from Glowal Win.

The first interesting thing about this case, not only it can be used as a desktop model, but also as a tower.

The package contains the following items:

  • Global Win YCC-S27 Case with 200 watt PSU
  • Power cable
  • Little bag with screws
  • Tower case stand

    Looks

    It is my opinion that this case has a very sleek design. With the look of a VCR or DVD player your friends won't notice a PC in your living room. Everything is nicely hidden behind the front covers:

  • Front USB and Audio ports
  • Optical drive
  • Floppy drive

    When you look at the black front cover you might expect a little LCD or VFD screen, but this isn't the case. A pity, because it would give that little extra VCR or DVD look alike. It is by no means a bad looking case. The black aluminium body is a perfect finish, with little ventilation holes on both side panels.

    The front panel is made of silver plastic. The power and reset button have a chrome finish. Next to them, the two status LEDs (Hdd activity and Power) are situated. They use the common colours; red and green.

    The YCC-S27 is designed for micro ATX mainboard and half size PCI or AGP cards. You will notice some interesting configurations/features further into the review.

    Just for the fun of it, I placed an Apple Mac Mini on top of the case so that you can see size is just something relative to ....
