Sunbeam Acrylic HTPC Case Review

[ad#review961-top]Acrylic cases were pretty popular a few years ago when case modding was quite big. It seems things have died down a bit and we really have not seen many acrylic cases come out. Well Sunbeam has sent us one of their new acrylic cases. It is not your ordinary tower it is a home theater PC case (HTPC).

Packaging

The acrylic HTPC case came in a normal sized box, so I thought it might have already been assembled. Although when I opened the box I found a smaller box inside that had all of the parts in it, so this case does not come preassembled.

The smaller retail box has a picture of the case on the front and a list of features on the back.

Getting the retail box open there is another box inside of it that has all of the pieces of the case, screws, fans, etc inside.

    I don't think this product will sell well, if it is meant for an HTPC,it will stick out like a sore thumb in the home theater setting, and will distract viewers with the UV.

    Agreed unless you don't use any lighted fans but who would do that with a clear acrylic case.

    Even if you didn't have the lighted fans, you'd still see all the hardware and fans running and dust collecting inside this acrylic case. Also it would still stand out against the usually matte/shiny black or silver dvd players and the likes

    Since its main use is for a a HTPC using regular fans would be bag since you being using it in the dark. I mean who watches the boob tube with the lights on?

    I know i do. It's actually better for the eyes, because the wall behind the tv gives you depth

    Funny that you pay attention to a wall when watching using your TV.

    you're not concsiouly paying attention to the wall, like i said, your eyes are using the wall subconciously as a reference, giving depth.
