 Description:

     Today we are going to be taking a look at a case that offers features that most of us HTPC owners will drool over. The Origen AE Technology S21T HTPC Enclosure offers just about every feature that a consumer looks for in a HTPC case. The most prominent feature that stands out from the rest is the impressive 12.1 inch motorized TFT touch screen monitor. The S21T has several other great features as well, so lets dig in and see how the S21T does.

 First Impression:



     OrigenAE is a high end Computer Component manufacturer. They were first established as Uneed International back in 2000 and re-branded as OrigenAE Technology in mid 2005. OrigenAE offers innovative high end computer components that set the bar for many to follow. Their goal is to develop the pioneering products that can provide the consumer with a high quality experience that will allow you to work, play, or relax with their premium grade technologies.




     The OrigenAE S21T comes packaged exceptionally well in a double box system and is padded ideally for the high end equipment inside. Upon opening the box, you will see that it is treated as most treat their high end audio equipment for shipping. The S21T Enclosure is also bagged to prevent as much dust and smudges as possible.


    


     Pulling the S21T out of the box you will find out what a quality built case feels and looks like. Looking at the first picture we can see that the brushed aluminum look is uniform and the aluminum panels are thick, which does suggest that the case is going to be on the heavy side. The 12.1 inch TFT monitor is covered with yet another plastic layer to prevent any damage to it. Looking at the exterior of the S21T, you will see that OrigenAE is committed to producing a quality finish that is carried throughout the entire case. Yes, that means the back and bottom of the S21T have the same brushed aluminum look.


    


     The outer casing is constructed of high grade 5mm aluminum. The front and sides of the S21T are one piece and give a very nice and clean look to it. The brushed aluminum case feet also give you the feel of high end audio equipment. At this point in time, I must say that the S21T is by far the highest quality case that I have had the pleasure of working with. Everything is well thought out and fits like a glove.
