Outside Views

A Front Shot of This Mini-PC

The case conveys an initial impression of strength and solidity from the outside - an impression that is somewhat diminished by a loose and flaccid carrying handle. Three large transparent plastic windows, which are attached with plastic rivets to the case cover, provide a clear and comprehensive view of the innards of this still-empty enclosure. The front of the case is adorned with a small LCD display, which shows temperature readings from two heat sensors integrated into the case. You'll also two USB connectors and a single Firewire port, plus audio jacks for speakers/headphones and a microphone on the case front as well.

The little LCD's high contrast makes for good readability.

The carrying handle is flimsy and flexible.
