Moneual 932T Home Theater PC Case Review
When choosing a computer case, you’ll find that the vast majority of cases are small variations of a common theme, with few major differences that allow the case to stand out amongst the crowd. But every now and then, a radically different case comes into play that stretches the limit of conventional design. Quiet PC USA, well-known resellers of a wide range of quiet PC components, has graciously sent us a Moneual 932T Home Theater PC (HTPC) case to check out. Will its stunning design prove to be revolutionary? We will attempt to answer that question as we take an in-depth look at this case.

The Moneual 932T Home Theater PC (HTPC) case arrived well-packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. The outside of the case has an understated yet elegant look to it, with a small picture of the case on the front and a small list of specifications.

Opening up the package, we find the case securely packaged between a custom foam insert, with the accessories nicely packaged in a separate box, as opposed to banging around inside the case causing scratches.

Let’s just cut to the chase right here- the Moneual 932T is one beautiful HTPC case. Obviously, the first thing that catches your eye is the large, 7” touch LCD screen. This size screen is present only on the top-of-the-line HTPC cases in the market (others that offer this feature include Zalman and Silverstone), indicating the level of quality of this case. The case has the look of a high-end home theater component, though it does have the size of a regular computer case and the weight along with it. You might not be able to sit this on top of your TV.
Our review sample has a two-tone color scheme (black and gray) known as the Titanium Model. Moneual also offers an all-black case (the 932B) or an all-gray/platinum case (the 932P).

To the left of the LCD screen, there is a large power button and an IR sensor for the remote control (more on that in a bit). To the right of the screen, we find a large array of buttons that are perfect for controlling the multimedia functions of the computer. The buttons allow you to easily control Windows MCE or the included iMon software. Below those buttons is the large Volume dial, reminiscent of a A/V receiver.
