Silverstone PT13 and AR04 @ LanOC Reviews

In the modern PC world we have seen a great many things starting with boat anchor cases that not only weigh you down but offer no comfort in knowing your life could be so much more.  The new trend is to ditch these monster blocks of metal for a more refined system, a system that is small, under powered and looks great on a shelf next to blocks of paper that most people call books.

When it comes to small form factor builds our main focus has been on builds that can fit high powered video cards for LAN use. But the truth to the matter is there are a lot more people who are looking to build small PCs for routers, HTPCs, and just to save room on your desk. As someone who has HTPCs all around the house I completely get it. After juggling a few parts around I realized I had a half height Mini-ITX motherboard sitting around and I decided to make use of it. I came across the Silverstone Petit PT13 case and the AR04 cooler from Silverstone as well. Together they should make for a small but powerful PC, let’s see how performs.

Most would say that the HTPC died a long time ago but there are still some who think otherwise.  For those we need a small form factor system that only needs be fast enough to stream a movie.

For them, we have this case, and it looks great.
