    Case Interior and Cooling

    What amazes me the most when it comes to watching people build computers is how timid they are when it comes to moving things inside a case.  Generally speaking, anything held in place with screws is something you could remove and anything held in place with a rivet will require a drill.

    Of course, rivets generally need to stay.

    Unlike on previous SilverStone SETA case designs the SETA A2 comes with 140mm fans throughout.  You will find a total of three across the front of the case along with a single in the standard exhaust location at the back near the motherboard tray.

    Users do have an option to install the smaller 120mm fans but will miss out on the extremely solid tolerances to ensure correct and efficient airflow though the chassis.   

    For cooling zealots the SETA A2 supports up to two 120mm fans being mounted directly to the basement panel, which is great for additional GPU cooling.

    Up to three 140mm fans across the top and three 140mm fans on the motherboard tray to exhaust out the side of the case.

    This helps give you that popular O11 look without having to actually stoop down to buy an O11.

    Of course, to use the back wall fan and radiator mounting location the compliment of 3.5mm drive trays will need to be removed giving you options to install DIY watercooling gear or, simply max out your fan capacity.
