Conclusion

The Cooler Master Media 260 is surely one of the best cases for HTPC systems I’ve seen that supports standard hardware components. This system case has a sure chance to become a bestseller in its market sector. And if the manufacturer becomes as generous as to include a riser for expansion cards into the package, its functionality will be far broader in comparison with the existing alternatives. You can order the riser cards at the supplier if you wish, at least the manufacturer’s website describes three types of them: AGP+PCI riser card (1xAGP, 2xPCI), PCI-E x16+PCI riser card (1xPCI-E x16, 1xPCI) and PCI-E x16+PCI riser card (1xPCI-E x16, 2xPCI). So, if you are looking for a case to build a HTPC in, you should definitely consider this one. It is worthy of a look.

P.S. And if you don’t like this model for some reason, visit the Cooler Master website which lists a few more interesting HTPC system cases we are ready to test in our labs at the first opportunity.
