"Mac Mini Hackintosh" Not as pretty, but an i7 and full PCIe graphics

And supports audio though HDMI. Slimline DVD sucks though.

Yeah noticed that too today.
I wanna build one! Was thinking mATX originally, but I like this.

That was the size case I was originally looking into for my Hackintosh build, but it just seemed like a thick box would be an inefficient use of my available space. I wound up going with a shallow-depth rackmount case instead, same 15" deep as this one, but only 5.25" inches tall, and 19" wide of course (as are all rackmount cases). More PCI slots, more drive spaces. Just an option.

How does it cool the CPU?

wowser, stick a cooler on top of the CPU. There's lots of room.

This case strikes me as being a bit of an odd size, although put next to a surround sound receiver might be OK.

mikebw, do you have a link to your case or a thread here of your build?

Are you speaking from experience??

I hope not!

It looks like a high tech rabbit hutch. Okay, mayble it's to small for that.

Yes and yes.

If you don't feel like reading the whole post suffice it to say that you should not expect to use the included 2x80mm fans as they are way too loud, but a single 120mm fan will fit in their place after a fashion.
