Intel has been pursuing the demise of ATX for some time now. In order for BTX to overcome ATX, there must be options and choices available for the customer to choose from with regard to motherboards and cases since those are the two components affected the most out of the change in the standard. Evercase steps up with one of the first BTX cases. Intel choose to include their case with the bundle at their recent ICC. Was it the right choice to get people enticed about BTX? No, and I'll explain why.

The case would fit perfectly as a EPC (Entertainment PC) or a HTPC (Home Theater PC) as the case is meant to sit on its side like a desktop case would. Overall, the case has a nice design of black and silver. The sides of the case are of a thin piece of metal (Aluminum, I believe) and bend very easily under pressure. There is a nice feel to the case as the exterior has an anodized look and feel to it. The top of the case has a single thumb screw in the back and there is a button to release the top of the case to get to the insides of it.
