The model from nMedia comes in different variations, either as an empty case or one with pre-installed hardware. You can also choose your color: black or silver. The front is made entirely of plastic, while the case itself is constructed of lightweight sheet metal. That accounts for the low overall weight of only 7 pounds (3.2 kg).
