Eclipse & Mystic: Offbeat Cases from ThermalRock

The ThermalRock Mystic: Old-Fashioned Desktop Does Duty As An HTPC

Bulky desktop case

In addition to the midi tower model, ThermalRock also offers a desktop case featuring the typical CD player look. They eschew the "desktop case" tag in favor of a new moniker making the rounds: Home Theater Personal Computer. Despite this name, the Mystic really is more reminiscent of an early 1980s PC than a modern HTPC.

USB, IEEE1394 and audio ports are mounted on the side
