This one is possibly the coolest yet. However it's a bit big for my needs.

I've got pretty the same build (for music too) with Streacom f1cws. Everything fine, except CPU temps.

It's like 45-50°C idle. You have only one place to attach a case fan. I have small 40mm Noctua fan to blow air in. But it's not enough.

I'll try to replace it with 60x60x10 fan (it's not so easy to find good case fan this size, because 60x60x25 is a more standard story, but it's not fit because of the small room) and will try to modify my case to add on more fan to blow out air on another side of the case.

If it's not gonna work I'll change my case to anything else. HT5 looks good, btw. But it's a little bit bigger than Streacom f1c.

HDPLEX H1, you can stick a AC-DC and DC-ATX in there and run full passive. Personally think the HDPLEX’s run better passive than the Streacoms. I love my little H1.
