The Case

The A102 is one of a range of MATX cases YY make. At the small size of 136mm W x 340mm D x 329mm H, it only supports micro ATX or Flex ATX MotherBoards. Bearing this in mind there is room for one 5.25 inch CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, even the CD-RW, and two 3.5 inch devices, such as the one FDD and one HDD. After easily changing the small front bezel, you can load two HDD but you will loose the floppy drive. The case can have either an Intel or an AMD chip motherboard as the PSU supports both and in such a compact space, the A102 can fit a rear system fan (60mm) for better ventilation.As you can see in the picture the size of the case compared with a can on tango :)

The 5.25 inch bay and 2 USB ports (optional) are concealed behind a hinged door at the front of the case. This makes the case look professional and flush only reveling features and hardware when needed.

With four standard rear slots, the A102 not only can be used as a normal PC, but also has great potential for upgrades to make the PC have more function, such as a net-server or soft router for small company or SOHO, or a home DVD player with DVD-ROM and multimedia card for a home movie theater, even a small children special PC or finally a Gaming LAN PC.

Another Bonus with this case is that it can be run on its side as a desktop or on its bottom as a tower. So you can really store it anywhere it will fit.
