Silverstone Redline Series RL04 Mid-Tower Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 12 years ago
The interior of the chassis looks neat and tidy thanks to an internal black paint job. Here you will find a large CPU cooler cut-away that should make it easier to install or change your CPU cooler, There are three small cable routing cut-outs and a larger one in the bottom right for cable management and while they don’t feature rubber grommets, they’re more for practicality than style due to the chassis not having a side panel window.
In the back we can see the 120mm fan mount, 7 expansion slot covers and bottom mounted PSU area. The expansion slot covers come with a protective clip over guard that covers the mounting screws for your expansion cards, which are accessed from the back of the chassis, not the interior.
In the front we have four quick release twist-lock mechanisms for the four 5.25″ drive bays, as well as five HDD trays that slide out to the from the other side of the chassis, each has mounting holes for both 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives.
In the top we can better see the fan mounting area at the top of the chassis, that extra clearance from the raised section gives quite a bit of room and it should be possible to install a slim 240mm radiator in the top, which is always a welcome feature.
Around the back we have four more turn-lock mechanisms for the 5.25″ drive bays, and there are two extra cable routing cut-outs at the top to allow for routing of fan cables and your 4pin / 8pin motherboard power cable.
It’s also from this side that you can slide out the HDD trays, this makes more sense as it’s on this side that you would have to connect the HDD cables to the drives.
