Reviews: Unlike Shuttle who has yet to design a case that can accommodate any optical drive without marring the overall outlook of the SFF, we were pleasantly surprised that EPoX, like AOpen, have carefully taken this into consideration in their design...The Mini Me eX5-300S incorporated their own optical drive faceplate (with a sliding tray bezel), which naturally blends into their case design...The large exhaust directly above the rear ATX I/O ports is for the CPU?s exhaust and we will reveal more about that when we discuss the interior of the eX5-300S...For the overall case ventilation, the sides of the EPoX SFF have intake vents and there are more at the bottom front of the chassis...
Retrevo's Recommendation: Average Buy for Everyone
