Ultra Slim Media Center Case

2005-04-08, 11:59

Hey Guys,
I've just spotted on ebuyer this ultra slim media center case, Its the same sort of size as a standard dvd player (yes that small) And looks real nice. It's approved by AMD and has 4 USB and 1 firewire connectors.

Heres the link :

Its a bit pricey £49.99 withought VAT but hey its uber stylish.

Looks pretty good. When rev 2 comes out with the shortcomings addressed I may have to pick one up.

As far a I see there is only one slot on the back. The case is delivered with one AGP riser card.

But very interesting case.

Hey!!! can someone help clue me in.

You Euro guys keep talking about these awesome cases (enlight, hiper, etc.), and here I am stuck in the 50 states with a raggedy tower case AND George Bush.

How can I get one of these cases? I've contacted a few UK suppliers and none ship to the US. If I have to endure 4 more years with this clown, then you could at least let me buy some of your cool stuff.

That Ultra slim case from Stevenduk seems very familiar to me.
A Dutch computer store www.alternate.nl uses this case for their complete system. It's very nice, but needs very specific hardware.
And it does only have room for 1 PCI, nothing more. Also the DVD drive must be a slim line, there is no room for a normal sized one. I've read a complete review of this system in a Dutch computermagzine.

I thought of bying that Enlight case, very nice. But I've got all the hardware already from my server. Unfortunatly I need a normal ATX case with full sized PCI slots. That will safe me allot of money :lol: So I'll get a LC10S or something.
