nmedia HTPC 100 Media Center PC Chassis: Desktop As HTPC
The model from nMedia comes in different variations, either as an empty case or one with pre-installed hardware. You can also choose your color: black or silver. The front is made entirely of plastic, while the case itself is constructed of lightweight sheet metal. That accounts for the low overall weight of only 7 pounds (3.2 kg).

Side And Interior Views
The case has a good number of ventilation slits, and they are not restricted to the lid; they should ensure good heat discharge. Unfortunately, none of the openings have dust filters, so the interior will soon be filled with house dust.
Many air slits can be found on the case
The ports for USB, Firewire and audio are behind a plastic door that can be slid sideways. Behind a second sliding door is a reader for multimedia cards.
