I'm looking at the Silverstone Lascala LC-02 as the foundation for a PVR. Does anyone have this case, and can you comment on its quietness? Also, on the pics I have seen of the back of the case, it ALMOST looks like you can mount port D-brackets (i.e. firewire, USB) along that top rear of the case, above the I/O shiled. Is this just wishful thinking?
Thanks
Pete

First impressions of the case
Quite good 
It's all aluminium except the internal tray that the HD & CD sit on. The front panel is quite thick and sturdy but the rest is thinner. It's not up to the built like a tank Coolmaster I have at work but I think it's good enough.
There is room above the IO plate to mount more connectors. I'm using a Mini-ITX board which leaves loads of space inside the box at the front, I could fit another HD or two!
The box comes with one PCI and one AGP riser that can both be fitted at once. If your motherboard doesn't extend under the PCI card are there's space there for something else. I'm thinking of a heatsink for my DVB-T card. You should be able to get some connectors into this space too.
As for the noise, I don't yet know. I'm waiting for the RAM to arrive before I turn it on.
I can post pics next week if it'll help.
