SilverStone SETA A2 Case Review

The SETA A2 features a tempered glass side panel that has been shaded slightly to help obscure what is actually inside the case.  Applying a slight tint or shade to tempered glass side panels is a feature I wish more case makers would take seriously, not only does it help to refine the overall design buy shows that someone is actually paying attention to chassis design.

Turning the case around you will find a completely flat metal panel with some micro mesh towards the front of the case. 

Funny story, back when I was an avid casemodder the area near the front of the case under the external drive bays was always an empty canvas often clear of cables and drive bays.  This made it a perfect location for extra fans to be installed making it one of my signature mods of adding two extra 80mm fans for better cooling. 

Fast forward to the modern day and, you see a similar mod being a factory feature.

When it comes to expansion slots the SETA A2 comes with 8 slots available with no verticals between the slots.  This allows for a much cleaner look and opens up airflow for the monster graphics cards everyone has been buying.

Sadly, there is no vertical GPU option but you will get plenty of open mesh for cooling and a very sturdy GPU support bracket that can be adjusted to accommodate any GPU you happen to install. 

Front panel controls are located across the top of the chassis in a very elegant line with gold plated connectors.

Power and reset can be found on the left followed by two USB 3.0 Type A slots, Analog headphone and microphone connections followed by a single USB Type C connection.

The small button at the end allows you to make changes to the onboard ARGB controller.
