Silverstone Precision PS07B Micro-ATX Case Review

Silverstone supply the PS07B within a substantial cardboard box which should resist the knocks and bumps of negligent couriers.  The case is suspended between two polystyrene slabs within for added protection.

The included bundle contains all the items we would usually expect with a case.  All the screws are provided for installation alongside a detailed instruction manual.

It's clear that Silverstone are trying to appeal to a wide audience with this case as the design is subtle and understated.  The case is constructed from a combination of powder coated SECC steel and matte black plastic.  Even though the main area of the front panel is constructed from plastic, it looks much more like brushed aluminium, giving the case a premium look.  The strip on the left hand side is actually made from metal, though, and houses all the front panel connections.

The front panel connectors are located down the left hand side of the front panel alongside the power and reset buttons.  Even though there are only two USB connectors and two audio jacks located here, Silverstone has chosen to include USB 3.0 functionality.  These two ports are fed via an internal USB 3.0 header but there is a USB 2.0 adapter included for those with older motherboards.

There are only two fans supplied with the case which are both 120mm models located behind the door in the front panel.  There is a nylon fan filter included which can easily be removed for cleaning.  There is an additional fan vent in the top of the case which is designed to feed the fan on your power supply with cool air.  There is a magnetic dust filter included which fits over this vent but it can easily become dislodged.

Moving round to the back of the case there is space for an ATX power supply at the top.  Below this we find four expansion slots and an unpopulated 120mm fan vent.
