A Closer Look (Exterior):
The case has a gorgeous airbrushed aluminum finish that gives it an air of high quality and will actually look as good or better than your LCD TV. The iMON display further makes the Altair A381 blend in with the rest of your equipment. The top of the case has slots cut so that the CPU fan directly below has a straight path to the outside to vent heat. We feel this was a very good engineering decision as thermal problems are commonplace in tight airflow constricting designs. This also means that there is less hot air blowing back into the case caused by circulation.
The front panel won't display anything until after you install the drivers for the iMON. So don't freak out if you turn on the machine for the first time and it doesn't instantly display something. A nice feature about the iMON unit is that it includes a PSU (power supply) bypass so even when the computer is shut off, it can still display the date and time. The buttons on the front work flawlessly and also blend in perfectly with the design.
