The Bottom Line Apple's Mac Mini Core Duo has effectively killed the small-form-factor, do-it-yourself market, which makes it hard to argue for the Antec Minuet 300, despite its cool features and slick design. If you can find a specific reason to help you justify building a SFF PC yourself, however, the Minuet 300 will serve you well. The Aspire X-Qpack is an inexpensive small-form-factor case that will appeal to those looking to build a mini PC that's more about function than form. With lots of interior room and easy access, choosing the Thermaltake Eureka comes down to your sense of aesthetics. With a curved case by an Italian sports car designer, the Spire Pininfarina looks great, without crossing over into geek territory. Interior components such as drive rails and cages are innovative but may need another generation or two to work out the kinks.
