Introduction
Emerging from another well-known case manufacturer a few years ago, SilverStone Technology has really taken off with much success in the aftermarket computer component industry. By specializing in high-quality enclosures, SilverStone has shown that they know what they are doing. One style of case that has been growing in popularity recently is the home theater PC case. Used to hold all of the needed hardware for an HTPC, it is often times very important for the case to be very stylish, yet subtle in order to blend in with the rest of one's audio-visual setup. The SilverStone LC17 from the company's Lascala series does a great job of offering enough space for all of the needed HTPC components, while also presenting a look that is sure to blend in with most home theaters.
