SilverStone SETA A2 Case Review

The SilverStone SETA A2 supports a wide variety of motherboard form factors from the standard ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX to the exotic Extended ATX and SSI-CEB.   While these form factors will determine the overall size the assumption is that the connectors will all be on the same side.

What is great about the SilverStone SETA A2 is that it also supports the Rear-Positioned connectors from ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI.  You won’t notice it right away but if you look carefully, you’ll see rubber grommets in strange locations however, this photo from the SilverStone website shows it best.

The installed motherboard is the AORUS Z790 Elite X and is your standard ATX form factor showing where the motherboard tray grommets line up and how much room you have around the different sides of the motherboard.

Overall, there is ample room for cable routing and just enough space for a top mounted fan and radiator combo.

Early in this review I talked about the ARGB color change button and here is the controller.  I would like to also note the cable routing detail showing a plastic clip being used to keep the cables nicely tucked away.

This controller acts as both a FAN and ARGB hub allowing you to control all of the included fans from a single location while offering a way to add additional ARGB to your build.

For those wondering what lights up on the SilverStone SETA A2 you will find the ARGB lighting strip on the lower section of the front bezel under the perforated metal panel.  The original SETA A1 had a very similar lighting setup making this a nice continuation across the series.
