“Microcool Banchetto is one of the best looking open-air cases out there. When early pictures of the first proto-type surfaced some time ago, people have been drooling over it. I remember seeing in on one of my favorite forums a couple of years ago I knew I wanted to get my hands on one. All this time later Fredrico and Kristi from Microcool have given me this great opportunity. Fully assembled the Banchetto is one elegant structure as it is comprised of thick acrylic sheets, aluminum and steel.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Have a clean house and like changing out your components?
Pro-Clockers takes a look at a different sort of casing, intended as a test bench but certainly a choice for a more permanent housing in a setting with no kids, pets or clumsy people bearing liquids. The Microcool Banchetto 101 does not look like a utilitarian test bench casing with its acrylic, aluminium, steel and chrome design, it is rather attractive looking. It is not an enclosure, your components are exposed to the air and anything flying through it. It requires a little extra care but considering the benefits in cooling and ease of swapping components it is safe to say the Blachetto is going to find a place in more than just reviewers homes.
