SilverStone LC20
$140.00
Released November, 2006
The Pros:High amount of ventilation and potential fan placement areas, allows greater cooling options. Compact overall design fits well into most home theatre cabinets. Interior is suggestive of where to put individual components, can help planning installation.
The Cons:Installation of components must follow a particular order, and upgrades require removing parts in reverse order. Cable routing can become very tight and frustrating, especially with multiple PCI cards. Remote control design is not terribly intuitive, takes some getting used to.
The SilverSTone LC20 is a entry-level HTPC case. The LC20 is marketed on its aesthetics, ability to operate silently and drive capacity in an enclosure of its size. This case would function equally well as a desktop case as well.

For enhanced media center capabilities, the LC20 is available with a multimedia package (LC20B-M and LC20S-M models). This package includes a VFD display and IR remote, as well as media software, adding increased HTPC capabilities to the chassis with an increased cost. The base LC20 cases are geared as entry-level HTPC or mid-range desktop enclosures, while the LC20-M cases are mid-range HTPC cases.
