Call it what you like, a fad, the latest craze, the next generation of pc's; no matter what you call it, HTPC's are definitely becoming heavy hitters in the PC marketplace. With the right hardware and software you can have every component of an entertainment center (Minus the TV itself) in one box. In this review I'm not covering all the goodies you can stuff into an HTPC, but I am checking out a case by Kingwin called the Supernova (SN- 213HTS).

Kingwin has been around for over a decade and manufactures a wide range of products from USB peripherals to PC cases of all price ranges and sizes to CPU Coolers and more. Their products usually sport good manufacturing quality with a very reasonable price tag. The Supernova HTPC case is one of their more high-end cases... let's find out why.
