It has been a while since the whole HTPC craze started.  With more people buying or building HTPCs , comes the demand for better components . For the last three years I have been using various ATX towers as my HTPC enclosure and it usually sits next to my subwoofer alone and looking as out of place as a penguin in a desert. But now there are some decent looking enclosures at decent prices. Most of you are probably familiar with the beautiful $300+ units available but for me, and I am sure many like me, those cases are simply too expensive.

Recently, I received the Mozart case from Thermaltake and was glad to see something that looked more like a piece of theater equipment. Thermaltake has been making cases and other peripherals for quite a while (since 1999) and have always been known for quality  The Mozart is one of two desktop style cases named after a composer, the other is the Bach. Thermaltake also offers both of these cases in a slimmer variety with the sx suffix.  I am quite eager to find out how well this case stands up to closer scrutiny.
