Huh. I have an "M", but I don't have a cover. It looks like this:

Although it has been sitting in the box for about 2 weeks, I plan on
making
this into a silent (no drives) combined FE/BE with a couple tuners.
Two caveats: I hate "all silver" cases (aka pundit). I love ATX cases
with full height card capability.
I also have two of these:

I lucked into them at a scratch and dent sale. Neither of which are
scratched
or dented, just open boxes that I picked up for roughly 75% off retail.
I
think they are SilverStone's original attempt at a HTPC case. I would
not
recommend them if you want a VFD. Then you need to have the top bezel
lowered all the time which makes this unit look like computer rather
than
a mythical mystery box.
