Default Chilli Professional III 1/4" mATX Case Review
Mikhailtech have a review of an mATX case, by the now out of business "Chilli". The review is still worth a read if you are intersted in a small Aluminium case, as it is still available to buy.

Quote:
The first thing that surprised me was the weight; this thing is very very heavy. I bet two or three similarly sized Lian Li cases would weight less. This is, of course, because (as the name implies), most of the case is made of T6061 aluminum alloy. You would think this means it's light, but then you remember something: it's 1/4" thick! That by itself puts the Chilli Professional into its own class. So on we go to first impressions. Being a mini tower you can't expect much in the way of expandability, yet Chilli did outfit their Pro III with a pair of 5.25" bays and two complementing 3.5" bays. What's odd is that their ATX version only has a single 5.25" drive slot; this is probably due to increased motherboard size compatibility issues.
