SilverStone SETA A2 Case Review

I will be the first to admit that I have gotten bored with many modern chassis designs.  All too often you will find subtle little flaws that seem nice in theory but really ruin either the overall aesthetic or building process.  Of course, many case makers are trying to push the design limits and from a certain perspective they have attained their goal.  Thing is if you are simply looking for a basic chassis for a realistic system build the quality of those designs has considerably dropped.

This is where the SilverStone SETA A2 is different.  The first thing I noticed is that the overall construction was extremely solid with a respectable metal gauge (thickness) and side panels that were made from even better material.

Inside the case you are given locations to install an excess of eight 3.5mm rotational hard drives along with the option to completely remove the individual racks and install more 140mm fans or DIY watercooling gear.  In addition to the ample cooling and storage options the SETA A2 is progressive enough to support reverse connector motherboards that have started to become more popular with the DIY crowd.

Overall, I find the SilverStone SETA A2 to be the ultimate casemodder chassis for the modern casemodder.  Not only do you get just about every option imaginable but options to tweak and tune the design to fit your particular build.  If you are into adding splashes of color there are plenty of panels to remove and even more places to hide ARGB lights and DIY watercooling gear.
