    It's more like a cube case/lan party case. Not really mini tower...
    Price not bad specially with 58-in-1 card reader build in.But it has been this price several times since Feb. 2010...

    It supports a Baby AT board... but only supports ATX power supplies? Might be a problem unless you have some kind of adapter... and then you need something to make the power button work.

    Also, this doesn't look to come with an AT motherboard I/O shield. Never a good sign when there's a useless advertised feature.

    #4: There are some "ATX to AT Motherboard Power Supply Adapter Cable" available:

    Basically there is no IO shield for AT M/B ( AT M/B build in keyboards connector only to my remembrance- everything else goes to bracket ).So in case if you still have to use AT M/B you can still use it( I guess 386, 486 only - I don't see 286 or x86 come in baby AT board. Early Pentium might come in full AT M/B only )

    Well I guess it's better than running it on an anti-static pad. Even so I'd rather use my AT PSU, which I already have, than having to dig out/buy a decent ATX PSU.
