Silverstone expands LCD-equipped case models

We've seen them before, but LCD-equipped cases continue to grab attention. Silverstone added several models to its collection.

The Kublia KL03 mid-tower display sample was equipped with a dual-bay LCD display. Capable of showing desktop images, this models acts as a multimedia interface for direct control of digital content.

Another case that was more specifically designed around its LCD display is the company's new Grandia G02-MT home-theater chassis. This Micro-ATX "desktop" includes a remote, but we expect both the display and remote will later become "optional components."
