Intro


Home Theater PCs have grown in popularity over the past decade.  At first these were nice items built by nerds to experience cutting-edge home theater technology.  Since that time there have been new home theater appliances that are now mainstream: digital DVRs (also known as Tivos), upscaling DVD players, DVD recorders, MP3 players, and the list keeps on growing.  Building a Home Theater PC (HTPC) is one way to consolodate all of these seperate appliances into one sleek box that will have your neighbors drooling.

Manufacturers are working hard to make these new PC cases look like traditional Home Theater equipment.  The cases are built with anodized aluminum, come with authentic HT feet, and are adorned with volume knobs, media controls, stealthed DVD bays, and display readouts.  One of the latest (and coolest) display readouts is a large LCD touchscreen that allows the user to operate the PC completely without a remote control.

The DH-102 Home Theater Case is Thermaltake's flagship case that comes with a large 7" touchscreen LCD, media controls and knobs, and is certainly worthy of being included in any elite home theater rack.
