Would someone care to explain the feature, so as to sell it it the other members of WP.com? And don't just give me a link; give me a reason why you like it.

Since posting this, I found the mcubed online store who sell the case as a bundle:
http://www.mcubed-store.com/catalog/product_inf...
It includes: "…a heatpipe cooler set for processor and onboard VGA, an 140W external power supply and an internal SD cardreader" for 327 Euros; about US$450. This includes delivery by the Austrian Postal Services to the US.

Hi Guys, thanks for featuring my build on the show, that was fantastic!

I bought the "mCubed HFX Micro M2" case from Quietpc.com, the product page is here: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/htpcc...

I looked on the US version of the site, but couldn't find the HFX Micro. On the company's official site (they are located in Germany) there is a list of US vendors:
http://www.hfx.at/index.php?option=com_wrapper&...
However, I couldn't find the Micro on any of the US sites listed.

Luckily the UK version of Quietpc.com will deliver to the US, but that would be $558 including delivery (UPS), plus there may be import taxes to pay. As the site notes, you still need to buy an ITX Motherboard, CPU, Memory, Hard Drive etc. and due to the small size of the case I had to use the inevitably more expensive notebook components. But that is the price to pay for silence.

Also, I discovered due to the heat pipes inside the case, the motherboard must use RAM that lies flat like in a notebook, rather than standing up so that the heat pipes can fit in. Hmmm, now what shall I do with this spare motherboard...
