Thermaltake Black LANBOX Lite VF6000BWS Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Cons:Heavy (since it's steel and not aluminium). Read the manual as some pieces (metal piece to fix the drives) needs to be installed. Need a long screwdriver.
Pros:Strong built. Modular parts inside the case for easy instalation, no sharp edges, good look and price. Comment:
Very good purchase. I owned a Apevia mATX and the quality of this Thermaltake Lanbox is far better. Good looking, well builded, no sharp edges, thumbscrews pratically everywhere. Great stuff at reasonnable price! |

Thermaltake Black LANBOX Lite VF6000BWS Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Cons:Difficult to hide cables, little room to work in.
Pros:Quiet fans, nice finish, uses standard ATX P\S. Comment:
An excellent case if you're looking for a mATX. Looks great and is quiet enough. I like the fact that you can use an ATX power supply. USB and sound cables are long enough to work with when removing the retractable motherboard tray. The piano black finish looks sweet and the side windows are great for looks. The BAD.... Really tough to hide cables for a "clean" look. A modular P\S is really a must for this case. It'll help keep it clean. I was limited on aftermarket cooling due to the lack of room between the P\S and motherboard.(the P\S sits directly above the CPU) All in all it works great and my system runs cool. |

Thermaltake Black LANBOX Lite VF6000BWS Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Cons:Gets a little hot even at stock CPU/GPU speeds.
Pros:Great looks, built well, small form without having to give up full size PC components Comment:
I love this case, looks great on my desk (with 2 green cold cathode lights) I can use a full size PS and video card in a small form box. I had to upgrade the CPU fan because the AMD 3800 X2 was getting a little hot even at stock speeds (Thermaltake's MAX ORB fits but barely) |

Thermaltake Black LANBOX Lite VF6000BWS Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Cons:a bit noisy mainly hd chatter. could be corrected easily.
Pros:Modular design is the best solution i've seen in a sff pc. Comment:
The modular design makes this a pleasure to work on. I had a antec aria before this one and it sucked really bad compared to this. the only complaint I have is the 3.5 inch ext bay. I installed a multi-card reader, a Ngear model I think. I had real trouble installing it and then sliding the top modual the one holding the dvd-rw and 3.5 inch flash reader forward. The 3.5 would catch every time. I could remove the drive and side it in the front but that defeats the purpose of the design. otherwise paired with a x3800 and a asus board with hdmi out and you have a sweet computer |

Thermaltake Black LANBOX Lite VF6000BWS Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Cons:Loud and shows dust
Pros:Small and compact Comment:
I love this box so much! I only have 1 hard drive and I don't use a floppy drive anymore, so I was able to install my HD vertically into the floppy drive bay. This lets the fan in the front of the case push air right to the back. |
Overall, this case is great! Unfortunately, I shouldn't have used it as an HTPC case. It doesn't fit on the shelves of my TV stand, so it's sitting next to it *sigh*. That's why I'm going to switch the case to the Antec Fusion Black 430 HTPC. But I love this case so much that I'm going to use it for one of my older PCs.
