Silverstone Precision Series PS07 Midi-Tower Chassis Review

Starting at the front of the chassis we can see that the PS07 has room for two 5.25″ drives at the top, further down from there we have a front panel door and the main I/O panel.

The I/O panel features, from top to bottom, power switch, reset switch, hard drive LED, Power LED, 2 x USB 3.0, headset and microphone in/out.

Hiding behind that front panel door I found a pair of really high quality intake fans, covered by a dust filter.

The dust filter is easily removed for maintenance thanks to some simple to use clips. With the dust filter removed we get a better look at the 120mm fans which look so good it’s almost a shame to have them hiding away behind that front door panel.

The top of the chassis features another air intake, this to provide airflow for our top mounted PSU area, this comes with a magnetically attached dust filter for quick and easy maintenance.

The right side of the chassis features a plain white panel which is held in place with a pair of quick release thumb screws, but if you look at the side of the front of the chassis you can see there are some ventilation holes, these provide airflow to the front mounted chassis fans.

The left side of the chassis has the same white panel as the right, again held in place by quick release thumb screws with the same air intake area towards the front of the chassis.

Its when we look at the back of the PS07 that we begin to see its unique features. The PSU is mounted upside down at the top of the chassis with its intake fan facing upwards. This makes good use of the top mounted air intake that we saw a moment ago and is supplemented by the small ventilation area in the top right corner.

Further down from there we see that the motherboard is inverted, with the main I/O panel at the bottom right and four expansion slot covers in the middle. Each of the expansion slot covers come well ventilated and feature reusable, high quality covers.

Finally we have room in the bottom left for a 120mm exhaust fan, which isn’t included but I’ll explain why in our build section.

The underside of the chassis features four rubber feet to help keep the system from vibrating or sliding around. There are also four screw holes on the right hand side, these are so you can mount an internal 2.5″ drive to the chassis.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
