Conclusion
Pros
- Looks very nice, would look great in the lounge
- Very well built
- Quite light and easy to carry
- Completely passively cooled
- Cooling is most efficient
- Well laid out internally
- Comes pre built so easy to setup
- Small so it doesn't take up much space
- Blue power button looks excellent
- Some nice colour options available
- Quietest solution around at present
- System performance not great
- Hard disk creates a some noise, but all hard drives do - but using a Barracuda it means the minimum possible.
- Access to the internals not as easy, but this is a turnkey system
Conclusion
The Hush system is a high quality item with excellent build quality and the case is the best I've seen to date. If they start selling these cases separately I can see them becoming very popular. The whole ethos of this product is excellent, more and more people are wanting silent PC's and this sets a very good benchmark for others to try to emulate. The only niggles are the slight whine from the hard disk which is only really noticeable if you listen very carefully in a silent room and the performance isn't going to win any awards. But as its aimed at a HTPC market it's forgiveable and maybe the price is a little high considering the specifications.
