Hi all,

We have just published a feature about Zen and the HFX Mini HTPC case.
If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*Quote: *If you compare it to other passively cooled HTPCs on the
market, like the Hush PC UK-E1200 or the Hoojum Cubit PCs then it is
undoubtedly cheaper -- if only by a few hundred pounds. Moreover by
shopping around on eBay for the internal components you can knock off
considerably more of that price. What you get in overall quality is not
that much different from the competitors' machines. The case is
well-built, all sorts of necessary bits and bobs are included, and some
aspects of it are very cleverly and well designed indeed.

On the other hand, I get the feeling that mCubed is not entirely honest
with its customers. It is definitely not trying to rip people off, the
price of most of its components being commensurate with their high
quality. But the riser cards seem rather extravagantly priced, you need
to buy a lot of "optional" extras to make for a complete kit which tots
up the price, and while being squarely pitched at the consumer whose
only previous experience has been to put together a generic PC, it
becomes quite obvious that at least a medium level of modding skill is
required to make a decent system.

*Cheers guys!
