Incredibly, this case can accommodate up to three 3.5" hard drives or five 2.5" HDD/SSD through its smartly designed drive cages that can mount either size without any use of adapters. For those looking to build an HTPC with good expansion and cooling capability but has limited room and budget, the SilverStone Milo ML04 is an excellent alternative to the ML03.
The case was very easy to work with and had plenty of room for the project I was working on.
The case looks far better in my living room than a standard PC case would.
The only thing I might change in its design, would be a small window in the front to place an IR receiver behind, or better yet, a built in USB IR receiver that could be plugged right into the motherboard for remote control use.
This is after all, an HTPC case which almost certainly will have need of a remote control.
Overall this was a great HTPC build case
Pros:
1. Good cable management options for it's size.(Under the 2.5"/3.5" drive mount, not the DVD drive area, there is a "tunnel" which is helpful for managing cable clutter; especially if your PSU is non-modular.)
2. Accepts full size ATX power supply
3. Multiple mounting areas for drives.
4. Well made and good cooling
5. USB 3.0
Cons:
1. The "key"...it's pretty easy to lose.(If this counts as a con)
2. Some way to install a hot swap HDD mount on the DVD drive mount would be nice so the DVD drive mount doesn't have to be removed to install an HDD or SSD.
These aren't really big cons. The second one would just be nice, but this is a budget case so much more than the great options it already has can't be asked.
I would recommend this to anyone building a budget HTPC that wants a nice case for a great price.
Also, when installing the rubber HDD silencing washers, make sure not to slide them into place. Rather, push it through the smaller installation hole instead of sliding. Sliding them slices them in the middle and ruins them. This was the only actual thing that went wrong, but it user error.
This product had all that I was looking for. I was migrating a mid tower atx pc to this HTPC case so I could place it within our TV furniture. This way I could get rid of the mid tower in my living room.
I needed support for a standard power supply, I did not had to buy a smaller power supply for this case. It has support for an optical drive, which I did not wanted to lose. It has front USB 3 ports. But still it has a front cover door that hides the ports and optical drive when not in use.
Great Solution For An HTPC Or Bare Metal Firewall...
I have it deployed as my OPNSense Bare Metal Firewall. It fits amazingly in my network/HT Rack, and works perfectly for my application.
Looks stealthy, and unobtrusive with a minimal blue light, that has an adjustable brightness.
