Mixed Thoughts
- Pros: Top notch build quality/materials like every other Silverstone. The case itself runs fairly quiet and seems to move enough air. Cable management (double-edge sword, see cons as well). Great space for watercooling and an excellent radiator housing design in the rear. This product is very close to a 5 egg product and I think with a few tweaks/revisions the case could b perfect, but until then 4/5.
- Cons: Where to start. For starters this case could have easily slipped into a 5/5 rating from me by fixing the cheesiness that is the front door (squeaks and squawks like no other) and including much needed extended SATA cables or cable extenders! For a case designed with cable management in mind you would think running cables would be a simple task however, it is not. My SATA cables could not run through the wire management system at all, had to relocate to the front.
I recommend a modular power supply due to the fact that the psu sits right under both 180mm fans (with no fan guards) and it is tricky (at best) to run power cables (or hide the ones unused) without restricting airflow or getting caught in the fans themselves.
This case does not run any cooler than my TJ03 that I just removed this exact hardware from, so nothing "revolutionary" here. And due to the new setup my graphics cards are louder than ever because they now point practically at me instead of to the rear.
- Other Thoughts: Some of you may be knit-picking to some, but trust me, until you build your system into this case you have no idea. Also, if you do get this case prepare EVERY part of your build PRIOR to beginning installation, by this I mean running all necessary cables because you don't want to remove your motherboard to run a cable you missed...
The installation was quite the headache, but when it is finished everything is tucked away nicely and the case looks pretty good.
Before purchasing this case I had mixed thoughts, but needed a large case and trusted the Silverstone name. Time will tell if the pluses outweigh the minuses.
Almost forgot, you cannot use the top bay because the drive will rub up against (or not go in at all) the case wires for the motherboard, lighting, and top jacks.
BUY IT NOW
- Pros: Where to start, the room is amazing, more than enough room for tri sli 8 hard drives water cooling or a V8 coolermaster. Ive owned lian li cases, which dont get me wrong are great but ive always had a thing for unique cases and this is definitely one of them. The 90 degree rotation is brilliant, sooo beautiful to have the i/o on top, it just looks fantastic to have all of those gtx 285's and their leds lit up on top lol. The side panel door is beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. It does not feel cheap at all, it feels very sturdy, like a tank. Don't have any hesitations about 90'ing your dvi cable, you would have to have the case to understand, but it works perfectly, no tension in the bend at all. Best wire management of a stock case I have ever seen, HANDS DOWN. The 5.25 slot locks are fantastic.
- Cons: Sliding front plate- it needs silicon lube, it's a fact, but easily dealt with. Not really a Con but man is this thing big. you might think you own a big case...you don't, this thing is a beast, makes my asus vento 3600 look like hot wheel. Heavy, man is this thing heavy lol. Dont expect this to be a lan machine unless you are takin roids

Where to begin...
- Pros: The aero dynamic look. and the fact that its a full tower
- Cons: Oh brother, where to start? the first thing off is that the door is absolute junk. took this to a LAN party and door just stuck open like you wouldnt believe. when i opened it up, the spring had broke. Then, if you're video card has a DVI to VGA adapter, the top of the case cant secure onto it. Basicly, youre getting jipped. I went out the next day and just bought an ANTEC 1200, which i highly rcommend, and its a heck of a lot cheaper.
- Other Thoughts: Goodbye silverstone, helo antec
The Stealth Box is what I call it!!!
- Pros: The look of this case is amazing! The thing looks like it is ready to fly in undetected and drop a nuke on some poor unsuspecting sap. You have to rely on the front LED's to know that your PC has powered up. Plenty of space for your hardware. The best is the airflow design and that is the main reason I bought this case. All of your high heat hardware rest on a 90 degree position at the top of the case underneath an exhaust fan to carry out the heat where it belongs OUTSIDE of your case. I recommend this case to those wanting to build a gaming rig that will provide for cooling and space. there are inlets and a mounting kit for those who want to use liquid cooling.
- Cons: The surrounding lids and some of the internal components are a bit too "plasticee" for me. Although it looks great I think Silverstone could have given up a little on the look for practicality. Even if the case was just a simple "box" I would have bought it for its 90 degree positioning design. The price is another point that should come down a bit to get more people to buy the case. They must be boosting up the price to pay all the plastics designers to give it its look. Also, Silverstone, please when you pack a case like this for this price, I think you should include more of the accessories like the SST-CP05 adapter or at least make it more accessible through your vendors.
- Other Thoughts: Make sure that you have room for this beast since all the surrounding plastics make it taller and wider than a usual full sized tower case.
Great
- Pros: Great airflow with my i7 oc to 3.4 with a v8 coolermaster i'm running at about 38-40c, fits my evga 260 216 oc. Also a atx 58 mobo fits with an extra couple inches on the bottom. I added a spot on fan to the back plate without even having to attach it through the mobo. Make sure to do all cable management before had cause there isn't a removable mobo tray. + the window shows off all the best parts.
- Cons: one of the two usb's are dead on the top, prob my fault! still worth every penny.
