Introduction

As I find myself getting older I oddly find myself wanting to downsize certain things in my life as well. Things such as the size of my vehicle, the size of my lunch ( you young athletic pups don't have to worry about that yet), and last but not least the size of computer I using. No more of those 15 pound laptop to haul along on an airline ride, I now have a nice Lenova Netbook that does all of the work I need it to do. As far as desktop computers go I am slowly clearing the the two and half foot tall tower out of the house and making room for smaller cases and enclosures that will handle a micro-ATX motherboard and is still as powerful as the original tower were.

That brings us to the case we are reviewing today, the LanBox Lite case from Thermaltake.  This surprisingly well built unit will impress many a person when they see how well of a job they have done in designing this case.
