Arisetec HT540 htpc cae

Internal design
Due to the relocation of the optical drive bays the internal design is slightly different compared to the Standard and Slimline versions. This is because the HT540 only has one accessible 5.25″ bay.

The PSU is ‘sunk’ into the floor of the chassis. This reduces the height of the case by 15mm compared to the Standard version. The reason for this is that you get the benefits of a lower case without any compromises. Full size ATX motherboards are still compatible with the HT540 series.

The only other section of the case that has been redesigned is the PCB that houses the optional VFD and the IR receiver. This is because the HT540 comes complete with iMON inside, the IR receiver is built into the PCB. The HT540 is available with the silver PAD remote controller.
