Introduction

GMC is perhaps the only manufacturer that focused entirely on HTPC cases during the past few years. A few weeks ago we had a look at the Noblesse AVC-S1 HTPC case from GMC, a very small and narrow case, meant to fit narrow spaces and match mini Hi-Fi systems. Today we will take a look at yet another HTPC case from GMC, the AVC-M1. The AVC-M1 is similar to the S1 but considerably taller and doesn’t need a proprietary PSU, a short cooler and does not limit the user to low profile expansion cards. Hopefully GMC didn’t repeat any of the other mistakes as well.
