For those of you that saw my unboxing of
this case you already know that it’s enormous. I’ve seen apartments
with less open space than this case. It looks and absolutely amazing and
has a very formidable appearance. With the way the case is designed you
can see why it’s so expensive. From the rounded front bezel to the
perfectly placed window, this case screams performance.
At the top of the rounded front bezel
you’ll find a centrally located power button. To the sides of the bezel
are 2 USB 2.0 ports on the right, along with your microphone and
headphone jacks. On the left side are 2 USB 3.0 ports and a reset
button. There are 2 power buttons on this case as well. This is
extremely convenient so that you can have this set up on a desk or the
floor. Being that the USB ports and audio ports are nicely hidden allows
this case to retain its clean appearance. This could have also been
done with a small door, but I think this looks better.
At the back of the case you’ll find that
the usual I/O ports aren’t located here. Instead you’ll find just a
plain back panel and at the bottom you’ll find room to install up to two
power supplies. All of your usually I/O connections are actually at the
top of the case, under a ventilated shroud. This is due to SilverStone
incorporating their 90 degree motherboard rotation into this case. This
is an awesome feature that works really well to aid heat dissipation.
Being that heat has a tendency to rise, this case is able to use this to
its advantage. With the way this case is laid out, airflow is
completely optimized. This case was made for hot-running, high-end
hardware.
On the left side panel you won’t find a
window or any bulges to hide cables behind. There are two slots for the
Air Penetrator fans and ventilation for your power supply(s) and hard
drives. On the right side of the case you’ll find a large acrylic window
to display all of your high-end hardware. This window is perfect
because it only shows the motherboard area. This way you won’t see any
of your drives and if you take the time with your cable management you
can really make your system look good. You can also see the Air
Penetrator fans at the bottom and can access the filters through the fan
slots. This is great because you won’t need to open the case to remove
and clean your filters. There is also a large ventilated area on this
side for your power supply(s) and hard drives.
This case has been really well thought
out and you can see that this case was designed with the extreme
enthusiast and extreme gamer in mind. This case looks amazing and has so
many amazing features that would be hard for any other case
manufacturer to beat. When we first got this in the box we all knew it
was going to be amazing. In terms of sheer size this is the largest case
that we’ve ever reviewed and it’s also the most expensive. To keep
things in perspective this case retails for about 659 dollars. Our job
with this review is to let you know whether or not it’s worth the price.
Another thing to keep in mind is that due to its size this case isn’t
going to be able to fit just anywhere. You are probably going to need to
move things around to make space for this case. One thing’s for sure
though and that is that wherever you put it it’s going to make a
statement.
