Next Generation Adds to Its Stylish Line of HTPC Casings


City of Industry, CA – November 14, 2007 – X-Gene, the brand name for Next Generation Tech, Inc. products, announces the introduction of a new home theater PC case to its product line. The mid-size PN-01009 offers the ability to custom-build your HTPC. It comes in a stylish brushed silver finish that will complement many of the existing home entertainment set-top boxes.

The new unit joins the mid-size black PN-01007, already in the company’s product line. All X-Gene HTPC cases feature six drive bays and multi expansion slots, providing superior flexibility. These high quality horizontal cases are constructed of sturdy SECC metal and come with aluminum front panels. Strategically placed air vents provide excellent airflow. Likewise, the units’ internal design offers ample room for air circulation.

“Beside offering superb functionality, our entire line of home theater PC casings also delivers very smart styling,” stated Joseph Shih, president of Next Generation. “All units blend perfectly with virtually any high-end home theater or media center setup. Do-it-yourselfers, along with technophiles, will not only love their appearance, but also will enjoy how easy the units are to work with.”
