Is this a common sort of problem? I would imagine a case of this sort would be meant specifically to avoid that sort of thing, especially since they tend to be a bit pricey. I am planning on building a system early next year with a specialty case (HTPC) and if there are ones to avoid I would certainly be interested in such information. > > Juan > > Evan Burrows wrote: > >>I am looking into getting a case for christmas and came across the >>SilverStone Lascala SST-LC03-B at pcalchemy and am pretty interested. >>I really don't have any need for an lcd and I prefereably want >>something that covers the dvd drive since it is so ugly.
