Released January, 2008
The Pros:Case is sturdy and designed to fit in well with other home theater equipment. Touch screen looks sharp and clear, and is responsive to your touch. Works with a wide range of storage media through the front panel.
The Cons:Difficult to fit the cooling system in. Only access is from the top, no other way to get inside. Despite bulky exterior, the interior tends to be cramped and hard to work with.
