Introduction

We would like to thank Thermaltake for supplying the review sample of the Luxa² LM300 Touch Pro

LUXA², a Division of Thermaltake, was created in 2009, with characteristics of simplicity, luxury, and unique lifestyle. The core design theory of LUXA² starts from simple shapes blending with luxury elements, which create the unique lifestyle for different segments within the society such as Creative Pro, Mobile Blogger, Leisure Seeker, Hip Newbie, Entertainment Junkie, and Apple's Mac Lovers.
LUXA² represents an emerging trend of "individuality" in the world. Not only do people need function, but they also need aesthetic appeal. This is what LUXA² has achieved. Exquisite craftsmanship with aesthetic and elegant design style is a promise and commitment from LUXA². Thus, the Simplicity, Luxury and Lifestyle of LUXA² creates a Uniquely You.

Before the explosion of PC computing there was a time when home audio and video components were proudly displayed in one's living area as something to show off to neighbors and friends. As time went on, these things became more and more integrated into PCs and portable media devices and became more of an individual, almost private thing for some. Luxa² is here to revive these glorious days with their LM300 Touch Pro and make the living room a place for enjoyment again, a place to be entertained and show off entertainment in style. Read on to see if the Luxa² LM300 Touch Pro is the right HTPC enclosure for you.

Packaging

The LM300 Touch Pro is packed in a simple full color box that features a picture of the case on both the front and back. Information on the box is minimal with company contact information on one side and a web address on the other.


The case is protected in the box by thick foam spacers and is wrapped in an environmentally safe fabric bag. A thin plastic film covers the LCD touchscreen to prevent scratches and dust buildup during shipping.
