The bottom portion of the SilverStone Lascala SST-LC11 HTPC Case features additional cooling options with the inclusion of an oversized mesh grill and stealth front intake vents. The oversized mesh grill works in conjunction with the motherboard installation which will be covered later in this review. The stealth front intake vents draw in cool air from the bottom thanks to another 80mm cooling fan that has been mounted towards front of the case as a intake mount.

The bottom portion of the SilverStone Lascala SST-LC11 HTPC Case has been fitted with four metal flat feet which keep the case stationary when positioned on a flat surface. The feet resemble the same type of setup used on Hi-Fi stereo equipment. All feet are coloured black and accented with silver highlights. The rear of the case has been sanctioned off into three sections with the PSU mount on the very left. The PSU included with the this product is rated for 240 watts which means that component selection and installation will be very limited due to power constraints.

The middle portion of the SST-LC-11 HTPC Case includes 3 PCI/AGP slots. The tabs covering the slots can be easily removed once the motherboard has been mounted. Next to the PCI/AGP slots is the location for an ATX I/O plate. Surprisingly, the SST-LC11 case does not include an ATX I/O plate and consumers will be required to provide their own in order to use this product.
