In many respects the specifications of the X15e are similar to that of the X10. However, it’s good to see that OrigenAE have upgraded the cooling on the X15e by adding an 80mm fan to the hard disk cage.

At this point, the largest difference between the X10 and X15e enclosure appears to be the inclusion of the 7″ LCD display, however when we take a look at the layout over the next few pages, we’ll see some even greater changes emerging.
