Introduction

Since I've been reviewing products, I've come across a few Home Theater PC cases. It seems many companies now make them, but now a few specialize in them. Today for review I have an HTPC case from a company called NMedia, NMedia is one of those companies that specialize in making a better HTPC case. I have been looking for the perfect HTPC case for myself and I think I may have found it, or at least the perfect one at the moment, as technology is always evolving to just get better. For now, let's check this one out...

Specs

First here is a bit about NMedia:

We Don't Follow the Trend, We Create It!

Microsoft Window XP MCE appears to be one of the best solutions to transform a home PC into a home entertainment media gateway.
