Glacialtech has sent their Altair 380 chassis targeted towards the HTPC/Media Center PC consumer to be reviewed. So with several media cases and system reviewed lately, can one case be much different from others? Well, the Altair A380 from Glacialtech is quite a bit different from other HTPC/media cases in size, features, structural build, and layout. Lets take a closer look, to see what we mean.
The Altair A380 is a very clean design with very little in the rhelm of buttons and switches on the front of the case. We have the typical compliment consisting of a power button and eject button for the optical drive, and that is it for the front of case. Now some would say I want more options on the front of the case to modify audio or maybe video, but to be honest, when it comes to media PC cases there isn’t a need for a lot of buttons because the windows media center should be able to modify all these settings for you.
