Looks like a Micro-ATX Hush PC-like case!!!

Enclosures and acoustic damping to help quiet them.

Looks like a Micro-ATX Hush PC-like case!!!

They keep calling it water cooled, but if you keep reading the description and look at the pics, I suspect the "water cooling via the case" is the same as Hush's Nehemiah Mini-ITX case: Heatpipes transferring heat to the case.

Anyway, It's fanless, 170 watt fanless PSU, can take a micro-atx board, can have PCI & AGP cards, and looks pretty snazzy:

Tell Directron you want it!!!

Hmm, after further searching, it looks like these guys (http://www.signumdata.de/english/index_eng.htm) probably are the manufacturers of the Hush chassis, so it does appear that the same concepts in the Hush pc can be applied by do-it-yourselfers for micro-atx designs!! very cool...

Looking at the internal arrangement of components, I would say it is indeed very close to the Hush PC reviewed by Hexus.net:

shame it's not for a P4 3ghz HT :(

Looking on the bright side there is this:

The signum data has been around for well over a year. Just do a search on SPCR -- and on the web.

Yeah, I read up on it last year. But there's a difference of "being around" and being easily purchased at a good consumer price. Hopefully Directron will be able to do those things :)
