When SilverStone engineers set out to create an HTPC enclosure with an integrated touch screen, they quickly realized the need to do more than just dropping a screen in front of an ordinary case. Users of cases at this caliber will demand compatibility with the best hardware components in the world. Therefore, an all new aluminum chassis was designed from the ground up to meet these demands. Borrowing from the superb airflow layout first pioneered in the LC16M, the LC18 can house any CPU with minimal noise thanks to its free-flowing dual 80mm exhausts and large intake vents. An innovative hard drive bracket was also created exclusively for LC18 to ensure top of the line graphics cards and capture cards can be used with little or no sacrifice in hard drive space. The precisely calculated distances between hard drives will ensure safe running either passively or actively (by mounting bottom feeding intake fans) for any hard drives installed. This exceptionally powerful chassis is then used to hold a HDTV-like 7” touch screen with brilliant wide-aspect ratio resolution for clear text and undistorted images. For the most creative users who demand the best, the LC18 is a perfect complement for either home or work.
