Introduction
So you say you don't want a case that might be confused with a mini-fridge. You mean you don't have 15 hard drives to throw in there? In that case, maybe one from the uATX family is right for you. Today we have a look at a case from the ATX's smaller brother uATX. Silverstone has provided us with a great test subject. Can it compete with its larger competition?
 
First Impressions
HAL is alive, and he has been reincarnated as a uATX computer case, but seriously, the styling of this case does seem to have a throwback to our friend the HAL 9000. The power button is situated dead center on the front staring back at you. Besides the obvious power button, the most outstanding feature of this case is the finish of the paint and overall good looks. This has to be some of the best paintwork I have had the pleasure of reviewing. Also of note, is the size of this case, being a uATX form factor, it won't take up most of your floor or desk. Although small, it is by no means the smallest of the uATX forms. This case will allow you to use standard height cards rather than the half-height cards required by some other uATX cases. But anyone can make a small case, what is important is what is inside. Will this machine go together with ease, or become a twisted pile of trash and electrical sparks! There is only one way to find out.
