Product Description

Continuing where the popular Milo ML03 left off, the Milo ML04 HTPC case again combines the full size features of Grandia series with slim form factor dimensions. The ML04 has a profile of 105mm height and 350mm depth, making it extremely easy to integrate into any living room furniture. Incredibly, this case can accommodate up to three 3.5" hard drives or five 2.5" HDD/SSD through its smartly designed drive cages that can mount either size without any use of adapters. The distinguishing feature of the ML04 is its lockable aluminum front door that is similar in design as the larger GD07 case with a LED dimmer that adds not only security but also improve integration in home theater environments. For those looking to build an HTPC with good expansion and cooling capability but has limited room and budget, the SilverStone Milo ML04 is an excellent alternative to the ML03.

Very nice looking and compact case that I used to build an HTPC.
Bob from Ohio
It looks great, it's got plenty of room for cable management, install was pretty straight-forward--really no complaints.

The magnet that otherwise latches the front cover is a bit weak, but ok.

I got the case because I had some PC parts I wanted to re-purpose into an HTPC upgrade and was tired of the chunky/desktop sized HTPC cases out there. I also didn't want anything tiny. Since I wanted to re-purpose my parts, I had very specific requirements. I needed a case that was Slim form factor, able to fit micro atx boards and able to fit larger PSUs. I also wanted something that looked really nice. I don't like them looking too plain and I don't like them looking gaudy. This case was perfect for my needs in every way.

It's just an all-around great case. It's one of the nicest ones to look at that I've dealt with in a while. It's solid and nothing feels overly flimsy or wobbly. Since you get so much frame space, there's a bar to hold the frame so it doesn't become warped or bent when you load it up with your parts.

The case is 105mm from top to bottom and 140mm of comfortable PSU room so you really must plan accordingly. Things get cramped fast.

Here are a few tidbits of advice for your build experience.

- You want to remove the frame bar and the nylon/rubber drive cage before you do any work in the case. This is in the instructions, which I recommend reading.

- You have 140mm of PSU room before you cut off some of the 2.5" drive bay on the floor beside the PSU bay. Any longer and you'll also likely hinder your ability to install anything but 2.5" drives in the 5.25" bay (maybe you won't be able to install anything at all).

- At 105mm top to bottom, make sure you get the right CPU fan. Depending on your build you may not need anything too big or powerful. I did, as my build is a re-purposing of my recently redundant system (Q6600, 8GB RAM, 750w Modular PSU, 3 1TB HD).

Some notes on my particular experience and a couple observations:

- The weak magnetic latch on the front door: I wondered about this myself--why such a nice, well built case had a magnet with such a gentle pull on it. After all, the door is pretty solid (and has a nice brushed finish, btw). Then I realized it was intentional when I accidentally ejected the DVD-ROM drive and, not having 'locked' the front, there was enough push from the tray to actually open the otherwise heavy door without the tray automatically retracting. Although it would be preferred for the user to first swing the front down before popping the tray, somebody at Silverstone was actually thinking of this scenario, so kudos to them.

- USB 3.0 front ports: Glad they are there. Since they are true 3.0, they terminate in a 20-pin female connector. That's good, but bad news if your mobo doesn't have an onboard 3.0 header. Initially I was going to add a card with the connector, but my mobo has 2 USB 3.0 'A' connectors in the I/O block. Since the USB 3.0 is handled by the Intel chipset (and isn't NEC Renesas, which I hate), I knew they were totally reliable. I just need to get that 20-pin connector back to 'A' connectors. There's a knockout in the back of the case for a DB-9/15 connector, so I intend to use that (or a slot cover) in conjunction with an adapter cable. If you need to do the same, search for "2 Ports USB 3.0 A Type Male to Motherboard 20 Pin Header Male Cable."

- DVD-ROM drive mounting: Although the mounting holes for the drive are properly placed, none are oval/elongated, which would provide some minor room for adjusting the position of the drive.

This case is great for an HTPC that will be seen by the world. I love that the case allows for locking the front and disabling the power button. It is great for preventing small children from messing with things.

Room is a little tight, as other reviews have stated, but with a little cable management everything will fit. If you are worried about space a modular power supply will cut down on space wasted by unused wires.

My biggest complaint is that the key used to lock the case is plastic and not very durable. After a month of use, my key has broken off in the hole and I now need to find a replacement.

Update: I contacted Silverstone about the broken key and they quickly resolved the problem by sending me a new key. Hopefully this one lasts longer.

I selected this case after reading a number of different reviews of it and similar cases. It's reasonably sturdy, had enough room for me to shoehorn in all of the components I wanted, and looks good in the stack of home theatre components where it lives now. The thin manual that came with it covered everything I needed to know, although the arrangement of some of the material seemed a little unintuitive.

Many people have commented on the brightness of the blue power LED, but I found it was easy to adjust with the slider. Ironically, the glow of the red HDD activity light is probably more visible (even when the door is closed) as it shines down onto the component below, but I found it nice to see what the drive was doing and personally, it doesn't annoy me.

Unsurprisingly, the case was pretty cramped. I took Silverstone's advice and used their modular SFX power supply, which helped a lot with space, and I didn't need to install any expansion or display cards. I managed to mount a dual 2.5" SATA hotswap component (3.5" form factor, in a 5.25" adapter) into the optical media space without any problems.

One other head-scratcher was mounting of the case fans along the side of the case -- there's allegedly room for 4, although I only used 2. There are no purposed mounting holes at all, just a continuous honeycomb pattern that extends the entire side of the case, and there was no way to align the fans so they matched holes at all four corners simultaneously. Fortunately, mine came with rubber mounting grommets (instead of screws) that flexed sufficiently to accommodate the offsets.
