HANDS UP Everyone using the Zalman/Thermaltake HTPC Case...

Hi cMP Gang

I'm looking for feedback from everyone who has - or has not - used the lovely Zalman/Thermaltake HTPC case we see at the top of this thread. I'm curious to hear your realworld experience using the 7-inch LCD screen to run all the functions of the cMP Environment.

I really like the idea of it nestled amongst my other Hi-Fi gear, looking and sounding very special.

However, if there are some Dark Truths to tell about it, I'd love to know before I make the purchase. If you do have this box, are there any things you'd change about it, or - heresy notwithstanding - would you use something else if starting over ? (If that's true - what other cases have you found suitable for building a cMP rig ?)

Who has an opinion on the remote-control-via-mouse experience. Does the "small" screen make EAC ripping on the dedicated cMP machine too much trouble ? Anyone "secretly" keep a standard PC keyboard plugged in ?

Thanks so much for your input - I appreciate the help and advice you all share so freely here.

Cheers,
Grant

That's not a Toy... IT'S A TOOL !!
