Over the last few years I've noticed a big shift in the quality of budget priced computer cases (think cases that sit around the $40 price point). We used to associate these cases with cheap looking and feeling designs, void of many features and built with flimsy side panels around a fairly flimsy chassis. However, a lot of well known computer case manufacturers have been starting to release some impressive entry level cases in this price segment that go against what we've come to expect from a "cheap" case. Over the last year I've had a fair number of these cases pass through my hands and the latest, the SilverStone PS08, is here with me today.
Today, computer hardware has become very compact without compromising the performance.
This means that you can now build very powerful small micro ATX computers with the same
components that you only a few years back only would find in a full tower computer. In
this review we look at the SilverStone PS08 Case, a small Case with room for even large
graphics cards.
Technic3D hat das SilverStone PS07 PC-Gehäuse im Test. Das PS07 Gehäuse aus der Precision Serie ist für Micro-ATX Systeme geeignet und wurde aus einem Materialmix von Aluminium und Kunststoff hergestellt. Wie das "PS07" im Praxistest abschneidet, steht im nachfolgenden Artikel.
SilverStone's PS05B chassis is a budget mid-tower with a lot of features not seen in most low-price cases. With a blacked-out interior, tool-free features and a few cable management aids, the case is quite well appointed for the price.
Silverstone set out to provide a case that brings a lot of value for your buck and I think they are mostly on target with the PS05. With tool less features for PCI expansion cards, hard drives and drive bays the PS05 won’t have you reaching for a screwdriver very often. The black painted interior is a nice touch for anyone that likes to show off their PC.
Cases these days come in a lot of different varieties and usually aim for either aesthetics or superior thermal properties. The PS05 midtower case from SilverStone is their new budget model. This model seems to be aimed at the entry level enthusiast on a budget looking for flexibility in how they put together a build. It is a midtower case with a bottom-mounted PSU. The PS05 is part of their Precision Series which brings thoughtful details from high-end chassis designs that are usually left out of entry level models. Items such as the all black interior, cable tie-down spots and vibration dampening hard drive mounts are all part of this model’s selling points.
Silverstone have been designing some of the industries most appealing chassis for the last decade and at KitGuru we were always fans of the Fortress and Temjin series. The Raven 02 in particular has been a favourite in our offices for the last year as it combines subtle and attractive design with class leading ‘vertical’ airflow.
Today I am taking a look at the PS07, a premium quality midi-tower from Silverstone. It's been a couple of months since we had a look at a Silverstone chassis, with the FT03 M-ITX and GD07 HTPC chassis both walking away with eTeknix awards earlier in the year, can the PS07 score a third win from us today?
Small form factor systems are getting increasingly popular. With the amount of power in and features in new micro ATX and smaller motherboards means many people are opting for them over the traditional ATX motherboards. They not only cost less but allow you to build a system that is not a pain in the you know what to take to LAN parties. With the popularity of these motherboards there is a large demand for cases made specifically them. Today we are taking a look at one such case, the Precision Series PS07 from SilverStone. This case features a sleek tower design, removable motherboard tray, dual 120mm silent fans, USB 3.0 support and of course the quality you expect from SilverStone. Looking for a case for that Micro ATX motherboard? This may be the case for you!
Silverstone’s Precision PS08 is available in an all-white or all-black version and can fit mATX as well as mini-ITX motherboards. Despite the small size, the Silverstone PS08 can house aftermarket CPU coolers up to 140mm tall as well as video cards up to 358mm long. A 120mm fan is pre-installed in the front intake that has a measured max 1238 rpm (via ASUS FanXpert2) and runs relatively silent even on full voltage. An optional 80mm fan can be installed in the front intake and either an 80mm or 92mm fan can be installed in the rear of the PS08 as exhaust. The front intake of the PS08 has a removable dust filter and both front panel Universal Serial Bus ports use a 19-pin USB 3.0 header.
