SilverStone Milo ML03 HTPC Review

Posted on 2011-02-25 19:44:04 by Thomas De Maesschalck

The Milo ML03 is a compact HTPC case designed for Micro-ATX, Micro-DTX and Micro-ITX motherboards. It's made from 0.8mm SECC steel and offers room for one 5.25" device, two 3.5" HDDs (2.5-inch compatible) and one 2.5" SSD. The front provides USB 3.0 and the design seems derived from the Grandia GD05, although the Milo ML03 is a bit smaller. Phoronix tested the case and gives it a 8/10, the site writes the ML03 doesn't offer any breakthrough features but provides all the fundamentals a HTPC users needs at a reasonable price.

"With all attention this week being turned to finishing up Phoronix Test Suite 3.0-Iveland and OpenBenchmarking.org for its launch tomorrow during the Southern California Linux Expo, there is no major Linux article in the queue for today, but we are looking at what SilverStone describes as "the entry-level HTPC benchmark." This company that's very well known for their high-end enclosures is now dabbling with a HTPC enclosure that will not set you over your budget on a Home Theater PC build. This review also includes a look at the Strider Essential 400W (SST-ST40F-ES) power supply."
