Silverstone Precision PS16 Micro-ATX & Mini-Itx Compatible Computer Case, SST-PS16B

Hard to find a micro ATX with HDD trays anymore. This one didn't disappoint. It's a low cost case that has plenty of hard drive bays ( I installed additional trays below the existing ones and I have 6 HDD in this case ) Is this the highest quality case out there? Of course not. It's a budget case. Really happy with mine.

I recently built a system using this case recently with the following hardware: CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Noctua NH-U12S Heatsink) GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3080 10GB RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200 SSD: 256GB WD Black & 4TB Crucial P3 HDD: 8TB Seagate Exos PSU: eVGA 850W Gold Modular PSU Etc: 5 1/4 LG BD-ROM/DVD+RW The hardware all fit well, but do be aware that you don't have terribly much clearance for a CPU heatsink: The Noctua NH-U12S has a clearance of *maybe* 1 to 2 mm below the side panel. A modular PSU would also be of benefit as there's not much space to route cabling. I replaced the 120mm exhaust fan with a Noctua one, and also installed on as an intake. The CPU idles around 30C and will hit 75C under a 100% load stress test. The GPU (A blower style card, which helps) idles around the same and never exceeds 80C under a stress test. Overall, I was very pleased with the temperatures in the case. The lack of side windows and RGB lighting may be off-putting to some, but that was one of the main reasons I bought it. Very subdued and nice design.

This is a solid and well designed box for Micro-ATX boards. Really it is not lacking anything important that the super expensive cases have so you won't feel like you are stuck with a budget build. As long as it has the features I need and is well built then I am happy. The only tip I would recommend is to buy at least a partially or fully modular power supply. This box is tight inside and a non modular supply has way too many wires to stuff into this.

Silverstone is about all you can find anymore for small, micro towers, that don't have glass and RGB lighting. This case is good for office use builds, and the material quality is not all that bad for the price. It does have a removable front dust filter, and I was even able to cram a huge Scythe Mugen 5 in it.

Arrived damaged (bent frame) and missing one of the rubber legs. Not worth a return given my remote location. QC could be better. Other than that the case is well built and does everything its supposed to do.
