So what did I think of the Mountain Jade? Aside from some minor problems, I found the case to be easy to build, with solid construction throughout. While certainly not very expandable, it should be a decent performer for a multimedia PC or HTPC. The lack of fans initially left me a little leery of performance, but testing set me straight.

SFF (Small Form Factor) enclosures are great for space management, particularly for HTPC (Home Theater PC) enthusiasts, but they always seem to trade limited space requirements for an equally limited amount of enthusiast fanfare. More often than not, they cramp our style with poorer cooling than our desktop counterparts, leaving them better suited for mainstream users than the average system tweaker. But does it have to be that way? Today HardwareLogic takes a look at In Win's Mt. Jade chassis, a SFF case co-developed by Intel. Can these two companies fuse together and create a miniature sized case with mammoth cooling potential, and will it ultimately end up another 'also ran?'

The 5.25" drive bay also doubles as part of something best described as a processor isolation chamber. Air is drawn in through the vents in the top of the case, through the removable air filter mounted to the top of the drive bay by the processor's fan, and then it exhausted out of the vents found above the rear I/O panel. This cooling arrangement is another point that reminds me of a BTX setup, as the processor fan doubles as the case cooling fan.
