Moneual MonCaso 932B HTPC Case Review

What really sets the MonCaso 932B HTPC Case apart from most of the competition is not the LCD, but rather it’s the fact that it is a full kit. For one price, albeit not a low one, the buyer gets an aluminum case, a 7″ LCD, the wireless keyboard/trackball, and the remote. Considering that HTPC cases by themselves are not cheap and that 7″ LCDs generally sell for over $200 this kit might not be as expensive as it seems. That said, if you are building a custom HTPC you may want more flexibility as to the LCD/input devices than this kit offers.

Also, while I liked the design of the 932B, the 832B kit, which does not have the 7″ LCD but still has a small display, sells for $445, about half the price of the mode we reviewed.

Overall the 932B is a solid HTPC enclosure. Its design is fundamentally quite good- well built, attractive without being attention grabbing, and it should fit right in a home theater stack- but the price and the competition on the market make is a tough sell.
