Something completely different
Remember Antec's crazy Skeleton case launched a while back? Well, someone at
Antec has put it in a Xerox, pressed the 50% button and voila, we got a Mini-ITX
version.
The plain skeleton is bonkers enough, but the tiny one looks even more impressive. Measuring just
19
x 21 x 23
cm, and weighing 2.5kg, the Mini Skeleton 90 offers a 5.25-inch
external drive bay, four 2.5-inch internal bays and a 150mm fan on the
top, with speed control and blue LEDs. At the back there's a second,
70mm fan, two USBs and audio connectors.
We've always moaned about the lack of ITX cases to go along with Atom
boards, and over the past few months quite a few vendors have launched
good looking HTPC models. The Skeleton is not really an HTPC case, but
in case you're into steampunk, or you just want a crazy looking Atom or
ION which will turn heads, this could be the thing for you.
It should hit the shelves soon, for about $99 in the States or €80 in Euroland.
