Airflow, as mentioned, is great. I installed 2 intake fans- one at the front and one at the bottom. The front fan is the SilverStone Case Fan Sleeve Bearing with 120mm 9 blades 26.6 Db FN121 (A) - Retail . On the bottom I installed the SilverStone 120mm Shining Blue LED Case Fan with Rifle Bearing Noise Level 26.6 Db FN121-BL which is a Rifle bearing, so supposedly superior to the Sleeve style for horizontal mounting. The bottom fan is LED and gives an attractive blue "underglow" effect to the PC; it looks spectacular. The sleeve fan included a "grill" which was installed on the LED fan instead as the front-fan comes with an included filter/grill system and was not near any wires. My 1gb GTX 460 and Phenom II are beasting all games I play (currently Battlefield Bad Company 2) and can run for hours without reaching dangerous or unreasonable temperatures. Air exiting through the rear exhaust is always of a comfortable warmth.
Goddamn this is a good case., (What's this?) First off, I'm a bit of a Siverstone fanboy. I love the design of their products, and the construction has consistently been well above expectations. This case is completely tool-less, which is relatively helpful. It's slick as hell looking, and there is a (small) blue LED underglow right above the logo/grill. The only downside for me has been the expansion slots all come with "tear away" covers. So say you get rid of an expansion card, and don't fill it's spot. Well, since you cannot attach the expansion card covers that it came with, you're left with gaping holes in the back of your machine. But you can't beat the price, or the functionality, so 5 stars regardless.
Quality Case, (What's this?) Pros:
Just read the product description and highlights...
quick release everything
3982 slots for fans
small
PSU mounted on the bottom
well organized
edges are rounded off
light weight
Cons:
not hugs amounts of cable management room behind the mobo
basic case in terms for quality materials
Other Thoughts:
I love this case, I bought it to house my old PC when I upgraded. I own an Antec P182 case, and this Silverstone is in no way comparable to the Antec in terms of sheer quality and robustness... However, the antec was 4 times the price, and the Silverstone has all of the necessary features of an awesome case, and some I hadn't seen or thought of before.
Seriously, 40 dollars for this case, buy some case fans, you will NOT be disappointed. One of the best cheapo cases I've ever seen, very good value for your money.
Well-Designed Case for the Price, (What's this?) I bought this case to house a new PC to replace an HP that died for one of my parents. I managed to salvage quite a few parts from the HP, so the budget on this build was a little higher than would otherwise be the case.
Great case for the money., (What's this?) Pros:
- well packaged
- semi-toolless design. some component installs still required a phillips.
- easily fit my micro atx board with coolermaster Hyper N 530 cpu cooler.
- fairly attractive case.
- plenty of fan spaces.
- PRICE, especially considering it is a SilverStone.
Cons:
- faceplate. I don't like the way it comes off or how it is held on. would prefer it had hinges. the snaps are flimsy.
- documentation. you get some, but it is lacking entirely.
Nice case, but could be better..., (What's this?) With all these huge "gaming" cases on the market, the simple, elegant case designs are hard to find at a decent price nowadays.
I've always admired Silverstone cases for their build quality and nice designs, so for a client build, I decided to go with this model.
For the most part, it's a nice case and I really want to like it but...
#1 - Cable Management - I'm used to the extra space behind the motherboard tray to hide extra power cables (Cooler Master & NZXT have plenty of space). From the pictures, it looks like there is enough space to hide cables. Unfortunately, the case is way too narrow so there is not enough space behind the mb tray. I could hide maybe one or two cables, but that's it!
#2 - Hard Disk Rack - This area is poorly designed. After inserting the hard drive (what's with the strange 2 brackets holding the hard disk in place?) the sata cable and sata power plugs protrude from the insertion point. The power sata is not angled so closing the case door pushes against the cable. An angled sata cable barely fits as well. This is due to the narrow design of the case again.
#3 - Please...
Good case for any build, (What's this?) This case worked great for the general use/gaming PC I just built, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T with Asus AMD 870 chipset motherboard, Cooler Master CPU Cooler, 4GB of ADATA RAM and an ATI Radeon HD Radeon HD5570 soon to be upgraded to a 6xxx.
The only thing I could think of is that if you are planning on using a large CPU cooler with a 120MM fan this case might not be wide enough. I used a Cooler Master TX3 which has a 92 MM Fan and it fit with some room to spare.
Great cooling performance with five 120mm fan slots.Vibration dampening mounts for hard drives.All black painting inside with stylish look.Mid-size tower chassis for all around integration.Convenient tool-less installation for nearly all components. The Precision series PS05 is an excellent advancement for mid-size tower chassis. It is designed to be both high performing with up to five 120mm fans and easy to assemble with almost all tool-less mechanisms for installing components. Thoughtful details from high-end chassis designs such as all black interior, cable tie down spots and vibration dampening hard drive mounts are part of this model’s strength. For those requiring a quality enclosure with great performance and ergonomics, the PS05 is an excellent choice.
