SilverStone SST-RL07 Redline Series Case Review
Author: Darren McCainIntroduction
SilverStone made quite the impression at CES with their latest case designs. Combining a clean performance layout with some of the most eye-catching designs sounded like the perfect combination. We do love our SilverStone cases!
We looked at a lot of case designs this year but there was one I just kept coming back to. The SilverStone SST-RL07 Redline Series case offers a laundry list of features in a sexy asymmetrical package. And it comes in white!
The Redline Series has always offered a competitively priced chassis for the mainstream enthusiast market and includes features you wouldn’t normally see in that segment. The Redline RL07 is something of a sequel to the fan favorite RL06 design we reviewed recommended earlier this year.
The look has changed dramatically from the mesh front panel to a more distinctive solid metal front panel. The RL07 is also offered in a more traditional black with red accents we most often think of when we think Redline. Both cases feature the oversized Tempered glass window found on most SilverStone designs today.
