ROSEWILL Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case, Black Steel and plastic computer case with 1x 120mm front fan and 1x 80mm rear fan, Front I/O and 2x USB 3.0 with transparent side panel (FBM-X1)

To be honest, this is by far my favorite part of my new computer build. It is sleek and small - something like 14x14x7. Cable management is great as they give you plenty of room and opening in the back to run cables. The material also feels really good to me. It’s not flimsy at all. I mainly love how this thing only costs 20 bones… philbo happy!I only had one issue with the case. The case only came with 6 motherboard risers. Guys there are 9 riser openings in a micro atx motherboard! Also, I should mention that I didn't use the 80mm rear exhaust fan that came with it b/c I wanted a blue LED fan. However, the included exhaust is actually pretty good as opposed to alot of stock case fans.Now I feel like I need to address some issues that have been brought up about this case. I read quite a few complaints about how hard it was to get some components in place like optical drive/graphics card/hard drives. These people must have never built a computer before… Let me address. Optical Drive - Who needs an optical drive anymore? I honestly can’t remember the last time I used one on my previous computer. Maybe 2015 or 2016? It's not like you’re going to make an HTPC w/ this case. Not really meant for that. GPU - I put my big ole GPU (EVGA GTX 950 FTW) in it w/ the PSU cable attached to the side and still had at least a half an inch from the little side cage that you mount stuff. I will say this, you can’t have a long GPU and have a drive mounted on the bottom part of the swivel cage. No problem! Just mount up top! Additional HDD/SSD - Use the space at the top of the case that you were going to waste on an optical drive as a spot to put a hard drive… enough said.I also saw people complaining about the airflow and the battery being placed at the top. Let's keep in mind that It’s ~$20... I put a 120mm intake fan at the front (yes I had plenty of space for this) and my AMD wraith spire cooler is positioned just a few inches from the side fan opening which gives me a little more intake. Between the 80mm back exhaust/gpu exhaust/psu exhaust I think I am good. I haven’t noticed my parts getting overly hot at all under load. I’ll say it again 20 bones.I don’t think the PSU at the top is a problem. Maybe it makes it just a little top heavy? Also, it’s not really going to be intaking too much heat from other components since there is an exhaust right under it.Final thing I think that people had an issue with the case was the side where you run your PSU cables for management won’t close. Just get some zip ties and zip the cables down to one of the many holes provided for you on the back and you will have no problem slidin’ that side back on.You can’t beat this case for the price – probably not even for another 20 or 30 washingtons. Buy it!

I thought of keeping a dedicated computer for streaming and watching movies and that should be near to my AV receiver and considered the below pointsa. The HTPC size should considerably the same size as my AV receiver. When I searchon Internet I come to know that HTPC cases which accommodates miniATX, miniITX mother boards that is suitable for my space.b. Also I have 7.2 Ch home theater system and decided that the mother broad should have 7.1 Ch output with 4 K Video support over HDMI.c. I want to upgrade the RAM later and want 4 DIMM slots.d. If I want to upgrade the storage then I should have option to add internal hard drive inside the case.e. Don't want to over clock the CPU and decided to go with H170 intel chipset motherboard with 1151 socket.f. Front panel USBg. Economical but don't want sacrifice the featuresConsidering all the above I compared Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock and cost and feature that I was expecting I end of choosing the below parts1. Motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012N6LM1Y?ref_=pe_584750_33951330This above mother board is a MicroATX board has 4 DIMM slots. This H170 intel chipset with 1151 socket board has HDMI with 7.1 Ch Audio and 4K video support along with 2 more display ports for computer monitor. Totally 3 display support. Doesn't have WIFi and Bluetooth and will not support over clocking.2. Case : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EMSH9Q?ref_=pe_584750_33951330This case supports MicroATX mother board and comes with 300W FlexATX power supply and one case fan. The case is strong and good quality has space for CD drive and internal hard drives. The power supply cpu connector has only 4 pin, Still it is suitable for the mother board's CPU's 8 pin connector(just plugged in only 4 of 8 pin)3. CPU: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JON7M?ref_=pe_584750_33951330The above CPU is Intel's 6th generation processor, Supports gaming and 4K video. This CPU comes with the Intel cooler. I think we no need any third party cooler for my purpose.4. DDR4 RAM: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MMLUYQK?ref_=pe_584750_33951330As per the above mentioned motherboard that supports only DDR4 on 4 slots, better to go with DDR4 which will give faster processing of the application tasks. I bought 8+8 2 DDR4 RAM as above and kept in 2 slots for now, later I can upgrade to another 8+8 DDR4 RAM later when price drops. Mother board manual says there 4 DIMM slots supports up to 64 GB, But the processor manual says it supports 32 GB max. So I decided to stick with 32 GB max.5. SSD M.2:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NY4VIPA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s04The above SSD is very tiny and go with mother board itself with m.2 connector. For better booting and rebooting and faster application response M.2 SSDs are very good and this is latest compare with SATA/eSATA.6. Operating System - Ubuntu 15 (Linux based)This OS is free and open source. It has nice look and navigation. No need to install any driver software for the above components or motherboard. The OS detects all of them fine. The media player comes with the OS doing great and able to install and play with Kodi and Plex.
