<B>Extra Stuff</B>:

</center>
Here are the extra parts that come with the case. You get some case stands, some rubber feet, screws, a power cord, and a manual.

Back to the front, and specifically the button area. The single power button and the two LEDs. Too bad the LEDs are red and green and not blue or white.

</center>
Here we go, you can see that even an ITX board is filling up the case. Remember, the max you can put in is a micro ATX board which will take up the entire thing. Please don't try to use a very hot Athlon in here, remember, space is limited as is heat dissipation. The sound of the CPU fan is also important, you want something quiet. I put the hard drive in the 3.5 floppy port because I was too lazy to put it in the proper place. Works this way anyway.

Here is the finished product, almost. I'm stuck using a plain old CD drive for now. I'm going to buy a DVD drive in a few days, I just haven't had the time to buy one. I installed XP on it and all is working great, no problems at all using the M10000 ITX board.
<B>Conclusion</B>:
<a href="http://ase.dealtime.com/dt-app/SE/KW-antec_minuet/FD-0/linkin_id-3002062/NS-1/GS.html">Priced around $65 at this time of writing</a>, I have absolutely no problems giving this case a highly recommended award. You can't go wrong with this small HTPC case and power supply for $65. This is a pretty amazing piece of work, good job <a href="http://www.antec-inc.com/">Antec</a>. Then again, this is Antec we are talking about, we expect quality from them.

I'd like to thank Liz from <a href="http://www.antec-inc.com/">Antec</a> for providing the case for review.
