Silverstone Redline Series RL04 Mid-Tower Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 12 years ago
Total build time for the RL04 was a little over 30 minutes, which isn’t exactly snappy but I didn’t really run into any issues with the chassis either so that’s a good start. The lack of a rear fan wasn’t too much of a fuss since I’ve installed out Antec 920 Kuhler there anyway, which fit with no issues. Cable management is looking really good for a chassis of this size and thats party thanks to the fully modular Silverstone Strider PSU and the Silverstone cable extensions that I used, both of which do help it look more presentable but I don’t bout that similar results can be achieved with any PSU and standard cables.
The head room above our Antec 920 Kuhler meant I could inverse mount the radiator, and there is still room for fans in the top of the chassis with room to spare.
Our Kingston SSD sits neatly in the top HDD bay and for a chassis of this size 5 bays is more than enough room for plenty of storage devices. The front intake fan is able to feed our system and more importantly here our GTX 560 Ti as the cut-outs in the hard drive bay allow air to flow from the front of the chassis to our vital components.
With the side panel back in place we can still see our components through the fan grilles, but overall it’s a very cool looking build and the final result looks neater than I could have hoped for a chassis in this price range.
