The Crown 04 is a premium HTPC case designed to house contemporary, high-performance components, making it ideal for living room setups that demand raw power and style. Internally, it represents a significant departure from previous HTPC designs, offering support for motherboards ranging from Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX to various Extended-ATX (E-ATX) such as SSI-CEB and SSI-EEB form factors. This flexibility allows for a wide range of configurations, from high-end media and gaming systems to powerful living room workstation setups. Optimized for cooling, the Crown 04 features mounts for 3 x 120mm fans on the left side and another 3 x 120mm fans on the top. These can also accommodate up to 2 x 360mm liquid cooling radiators simultaneously, providing robust cooling performance to manage the increased heat output of modern CPUs and GPUs. The case measures 239mm in height, corresponding to the 5U rackmount standard. While larger than most HTPC cases, this design accommodates the increased size of top-level graphics cards, ensuring compatibility with today and future GPUs. With 8 expansion slots, the Crown 04 supports versatile configurations, including one or more high-end GPUs, making it ideal for advanced builds in an HTPC environment. The exterior of the Crown 04, a key feature for its application, is crafted from premium aluminum with a sleek titanium silver finish, delivering an elegant and modern appearance. At the bottom of the front panel is a sliding cover mechanism that, when opened, reveals an array of connectivity options designed to meet all media and streaming needs. These include 1 x USB Type-C port, 4 x USB 3.0 ports, and 1 x combo audio jack. The front I/O panel also features an adjustable LED indicator, essential for monitoring system and storage drive activity in an HTPC setup. As a dedicated HTPC enclosure, storage capacity is a critical consideration, and the Crown 04 excels in this area. It offers mounts for 2 x 3.5" HDDs and 3 x 2.5" SSDs, supporting up to 5 physical drives without accounting for the additional M.2 slots available on compatible motherboards. All in all, the Crown 04 is the ultimate HTPC solution, seamlessly blending premium materials, exceptional functionality, and cutting-edge design. With its aluminum construction, versatile motherboard and GPU support, robust cooling options, and ample storage capacity, it redefines what an HTPC chassis can achieve.
