Nox Media HTPC Build

Hi, this is a NOX Media case,I bought from Komplett, with IMon Remote and software and with parts left over from old upgrades I did. It uses a 1TB Drive, a 300gb HD for system (Visa home), Blu-Ray player, 3.0 Core2Duo, 2mb Ram. Power supply is an old 480w I had in a cheap case I bought a while back. The card is a 3650 from a dell Ci7 system I bought and which I upgraded to a 4850. Its got integrated HDMI.
So will slot under my Sony LCD. The Nox case was a Pain in the ass. I used a ATX as thats what I had but really its more suited to Micro ATX. Getting the blu-Ray in was a pain.

I'm in the same position. Parts over from an upgrade Core2 Duo, ATX motherboard etc. I was looking at this on Komplett and thought it was odd that it had no front panel imon LCD.

Does the imon work as normal or is it a Nox version. Whats the GUI like?

Can one of the 5.25 bays be converted into a LCD(imon vfd installed).?

Hi, yeah, something to do with getting the price down, I would suggest. The DVD covers are built in, so the drive pushes these covers open (dell style) so you would have to take one of them off and spoil the look, as its likely any LCD wouldn't be a flush fit.

the software and remote work great though and as I only had vista home as spare, it worked out fine. (No MS media centre with home). This case is a bitch with an ATX, tight, but I am quite pleased with the result. It looks great. Worst thing was getting the blu-Ray in. Only 2 HD bays and you will have to buy a couple of fans if you don't have spares. (No fans included). At this price point choice is limited for ATX case. Awkward build f its your first

Hi! How quiet is it? Or is it not? Can you compare it to some other HTPC cases out there?
