Introduction

When you are building a home theatre PC there are many things to consider when choosing a case. You want it to look appealing, it needs to have easy to access USB ports for easy file transfers, you want some type of LCD/VFD display, and maybe some controls on the font. Well the SilverStone LC14MCE has all of those features, plus an included IR receiver and officially licensed Windows Media Center remote. There really is not much more you could ask for. So let's take a look...

First Looks

The LC14MC comes in the typical SilverStone retail box. On the front there is a picture of both the black and silver versions of the case. On the side of the box there is a listing of all the features and specs that I have listed above, plus an introduction to the case.

Opening up the box we can see that the case is very well protected inside with Styrofoam and plastic. This will ensure that nothing will happen to the case during shipping. Since this is the MC edition it comes with the official Windows Media Center remote, IR receiver, and all the accessories that come with it.
