Review @ Bjorn3D.comThe Minuet scores well for its great looks, ease of use, and quality construction. However, I do have some issues with it. First is its weight. It's made of steel, nothing new there really, but that nice paint job packs on a little bit more weight than you think. For the case's small size, it's a bit hefty. Next was the same problem that all micro cases seem to have (can't really blame Antec), and that is heat build up. I have to say that Antec could have done better on this one. Only a single 40mm exhaust fan just doesn’t cut it in my book, and it’s not even included in the box. Your basic hard drive these days is a 7200rpm, and that alone can turn a case this small into an oven. While 5400rpm drives can be found, they are not as abundant as they used to be. Aside from these two issues, it’s hard to find much wrong with this case. Its highest score comes from its looks. If you’re looking for a nice small case for a second PC in your house, then this one is a good, stylish choice. Also the case shows potential for a basic home theater PC.
