Product Review: SilverStone CW03 HTPC Computer Case
For the past few days, Stu and I have been mulling over how best to describe the Silverstone CW03-MT Home Theatre PC case. We’ve been discussing the clean lines of Silverstone’s masterful aluminum case design in yet another eye-catching form factor, and we’ve chatted about the perfect fit and finish of the mesh side panels, the intelligent design and placement of the six-drive-capable hard drive cage, and the extra space designed for the monster graphics card you know you want to include in your home theatre PC.
We’ve been considering the incredible ease with which we disassembled the entire case in less than 30 minutes, surprised that the initial system installation took only 60 minutes, and how the 1080 HD touch screen brings to life the PC for software installation even before hooking up a monitor or TV.
Many other sites like to start out a case review by discussing the packaging of the product. Let’s be honest here… it’s a box with some pretty pictures on it and a perfectly designed foam suspension system inside to hold the HTPC case. Silverstone goes out of their way to ensure the case arrives safely and unscuffed, going so far as to wrap the case in a black sleeve (works nicely to keep the dust off, too) but what you really want is INSIDE the box, not the box itself. If you want reviews of the packaging, you’ll have to go to another site.

The increasing volume of healthy eating
I work in an office, surrounded by coworkers who lead pretty healthy lives. It is a new year and everyone seems to have resolved to eat healthier foods.
At the moment, my esteemed colleagues are eating carrot and celery sticks. These are not the quiet "comfort foods" that were more the norm in the last quarter of the year. This is not much of a surprise, but I failed to bring my iPod and earphones to the office this week and the sounds here are, well, distracting.
I absolutely encourage good eating habits and want others to encourage me in my efforts to lose weight, but it seems that healthy foods are, on the whole, much louder than non-healthy foods. Maybe it's time to call Mythbusters.

Some people...
... should definitely NOT wear a thong (no, I don't mean flip flops).
I'll just leave it at that.
