When looking for a HTPC box always have to see the size of the hole in the salon and the client components you want to put inside. We must also have the budget limit that the client has.
A few weeks ago we set up a HTPC where we had to combine a budget is not very high along with higher capacity needs, but we had a generous hole in the lounge.
The customer asked us for a basic HTPC system, capable of playing Full HD without problems and many USBs, then had several external hard drives 3 1 / 2 to connect. We asked if there would be problems in integrating the USBs in the PC disk and we said no. So look for a box that would fit several SATA hard drives and the price will not fire. That was how we chose the Silverstone LC20.
As you can see in the image, a box is very sober. Put a lid that hides the DVD reader
And another cover that hides the card reader (optional) and front USBs
The box is bulky, measuring from 43cm. wide, 17 cm. high and 43 cm. deep.
It comes from factory with no fan or power supply. And the truth is that thanks. We do not let a season that almost any fan of series in the boxes. So you made to replace them, better not charge us the fans are going to withdraw. In this case we put a pair of fans Bequiet 8cm. and the system is cool and very little noise.
The strength of the box is the storage capacity of 6 hard drives inside. So it is an interesting case for customers wishing to store lots of hard disk inside.
The box is in two colors, black or silver. And also available in two versions, with display and remote control or without these extras. The basic price of the box is very interesting because it is over the 110 Euros.
The finish on the cabinet, the doors, supports hard drives … all very high quality brand. Here Silverstone never disappoints us all their boxes and maintain a high quality level.
In the end we were left with a HTPC at a very interesting with a box where the customer could accommodate all their hard drives.
