Choosing the Right Home Theater PC Case and Power Supply

jmke · 14th April 2006, 17:47

Some people believe that the PC case is just an enclosure for the PC's contents, and others believe that the case sets the stage for everything else inside. Whether it's just the skin around the package or it makes the package be what it is, the case is undoubtedly a key component in an HTPC. We are inclined to put a lot of weight behind and thought into the selection process for an HTPC case, particularly because looks, layout, and functionality matter more for such cases than they do for ordinary desktop PCs. Our thinking is that the case must not only provide desirable technical characteristics—and this feature digs into them deeply, never fear—but also that it must fit into a typical entertainment center both physically and visually
