Conclusion

The Altair A380 is is one very sharp looking case with several options that make it an attractive option for those of us who want to jump into the home media system market. So with the option for both micro and standard motherboards, the A380 gives you the option to use some motherboard you may already have in your arsenal. Did we mention we just love the brushed aluminum look?

Just about the only improvement we would suggest to Glacialtech at this time would be the addition of a VFD or small LCD mounted in the front of the case. More and more chassis are coming with this as an option but unfortunately those constructed as well as the Glacialtech Altair are in a completely different price range.The options which include the Windows Vista media center compatible remote and a micro ATX power supply included gets you closer to a work system sooner then having to purchase much more if at all additional peripherals to get your system up and running. So take a look at what you have sitting around and then take a good look at the Altair A380, as it is one sound option for those of you who want to jump into home media center market.
