Introduction

A few weeks ago, I looked at GMC's C-50 Slim ATX Case. GMC offers a full range of case sizes and functions, including several home theatre PC (HTPC) cases. GMC calls its HTPC case line "Noblesse AV." From this line, we're going to be looking at the Micro ATX-sized AVC-M1 Noblesse AV Case, which features an iMON display and classy styling.

Packaging

The AVC-M1 arrived in a box slightly larger than that in which the C50 arrived, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the box even featured a handle for easy carrying. This made for easy handoffs when we passed the case between staff members.



Opening the case up, I found the Silver AVC-M1 wrapped in plastic and protected in the case by a piece of foam on either side. I flipped the box upside down and let the case slide out.



The case was the only part inside the box, but inside the case was the rest of the needed components. These components included an iMON Pad and screws.



With the case unpacked, let's look at what exactly we're working with.
