Official Press Release

Exclusive Sneak Peak

Overclock3d prides itself on bringing you the latest news when it breaks. Well, we've gone one better today and managed to get wind of something big; and of course we had to share it with you our valued readers.

A couple of days ago something floated across my desk that was simply too good to pass on. Now bear in mind that this product hasn't been released yet, and so the details are basically zip. But what we can tell you that a new HTPC case manufacturer is coming to town, and the small glimpse of their hardware that we have is quite exciting.

Omaura is an unknown name in the world of HTPC hardware, but they are preparing to remedy the situation. Omaura's first offering is a case that we know only by the name TF5. Apparently, the TF5 will be a MATX/ITX, 2 expansion card, Flex ATX PSU, and includes a standard card reader. There will also be an optional IR receiver made available and it is 100% MCE compatible.

We have heard along the grapevine that along with the TF5, there are 2 more cases and 3 accessory cases to follow. But rest assured that as soon as we have the finer details; more than likely as we get closer to release...you'll see them here.

Definitely a nice preview of what is to come. It's amazing though...13 people have had a look and only 1 has made the effort to comment. :(

I think it looks a bit ugly :(

The drive on the right looks like a old mac floppy drive, with the button sticking out.
The front looks ok appart from the drive and when you open the panel to reveal the card reader ports.
Not sure why it's so far off the table aswell, those massive square feet look horrid.
Overall I think it looks quite cheap. Esp in comparison to what's on the market atm.

Looks good. I don't like the hight of the normal HTPC cases, but all these flat ones only take Matx :-/

Guilty. I was going to say - yuck. Sometimes it's best to say nothing

To be fair, I think people chuck too much thought into design of these things and fail to keep it simple.

I looked for one a while back and didn`t find anything that didn`t look nice AND cost less than £100.
