SilverStone Precision PS02

Performance:

For testing out this system we installed an ASRock ATX motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X3 710 processor, 2GB of OCZ DDR3 memory, a Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 graphics card, an OCZ EliteXStream 800W power supply, and a Seagate 250GB SATA 2.0 hard drive. The installation was easy and everything had gone according to plan. However, with a run of the mill interior, there really was nothing special or different about the build process.

Conclusion:

Is this case built well? Yes, certainly. However, is there anything special about this case? Well, not really, especially for being built by SilverStone Technology. The exterior of this case looks like a simplified SilverStone with its basic yet professional facade. On the inside, however, there is nothing unique at all. Normally we are used to seeing SilverStone cases with distinguishing layouts, unique features, and other innovations. None of that was to be found with the Precision PS02. The inside of the PS02 was a standard ATX layout with the power supply mount moved to the bottom of the chassis.

While this is a run of the mill ATX chassis with a slightly nicer exterior, this is not priced close to the higher-end SilverStone ATX cases. The price of this case is just about $60 USD, which is very affordable. Considering the price, this is a case that is built well and reliable, but do not look for any of the features found on the SilverStone cases that can cost as much as five times this amount. Given the current global economy, SilverStone is clearly seeing a demand in lower-priced products.
