The Good:
1) Silverstone build quality, attention to detail (i.e. creative use of cable tie down points).
2) Excellent airflow, particularly with added fans. I am running 2x140mm intake in the front, and 2x120mm in the rear/top-rear.
3) Size. This is the smallest ATX case I could find (barring a much more expensive option i.e. Sliger Cerberus X). Hence why I chose it over the NZXT H510, as it is smaller and has better airflow due to the front mesh panel.
4) Easy to build in, but make sure to have some extra cable ties. Always plug in the 8pin/EPS into the motherboard before installing the motherboard into the case (and any cables to needed headers in that top area of the mobo, i.e. 4pin fan header, CPU cooler, etc.)
The Bad:
1) The PSU shroud is a tight fit. A regular sized ATX PSU will fit, but there is very little room between the top of the PSU and the top of the PSU shroud. The cable routing holes toward the back off the PC/top of PSU shroud are unusable (i.e. can't run HD audio cable and hide it as well). 10 to 15mm more of space between the PSU and the top of the PSU shroud would be a nice little improvement to this case.
2) Cable Management is average. There are no channels or tie down strap points. At $65/this price point that is to be expected, but NZXT h510 can regularly be had for $70 and has it. However, there are nice cable tie down points and with cable ties and some side cutters effective cable management is not much of a challenge. If you are going to use the 3.5" HD tray I would recommend a modular PSU, as hiding extra cables from a non-modular PSU could get a little tight, but workable.
3) The tempered glass (TG) is just kind of screwed in by 4 screws (no captive screws) so it kind of just goes into place and once unscrewed can just fall out of place. Minor issue and again a budget case, but the NZXT H510 has a much newer/better TG attachment.
It's built well when handled by competent hands, nothing collapsed or warped, and the installation of hardware went without issue and was not frustrating.
The air exchange is as expected due to the front ventilation setup. (The reason I bought the case)
RECOMMENDED.
Definitely worth the money though for a cheap airflow case.

Delivery:
Even though the package arrived at the final station a day early, at 6 am, the delivery wasn't made until noon the next day. It was delivered in a package twice the size of the inner box. Package inside was intact, and the glass panel survived. One screw was missing from the panel, which was thankfully found in the plastic covering.
Packaging and Accessories:
The package includes all the screws needed, some cable ties, some motherboard standoffs installed, and a nifty little steel cap like thing to easily install the standoffs with a screwdriver. All screws and accessories are black to match the case. No additional glass panel screws, so take care of those.
Side Panels:
The Left side panel is glass with a black border. The glass stays on even after removing the screws thanks to conical shaped rubber grommets which hold it in place. But I'd still advise to keep it on its side as the panel is quite heavy and can dropped on the work surface.
The right side panel is secured with two plastic topped thumb screws (larger than ususal, so easier to turn) and requires some effort to take off. This is one of the badly done parts of the case. It is also fully flat, so you have to be good with cable management and make sure nothing sticks out, or you'll have a tough time putting the panel back.
Front panel comes off easily but the ports are attached to it, so you have to hold it, which isn't ideal for dusting and cleaning the fans and grille. There is an inner plastic fabric mesh behind the front steel mesh and dust can get trapped in between.
The frame is sturdy but lightweight with all panels removed. It's better to install all the fans first and do the cable work before installing other parts, as it will reduce the clutter immensely especially in a cramped case like this one.
PSU compartment:
I have a non modular Corsair CX500 PSU with thick sleeved cables and it was not an easy fit. Even sliding the PSU into the case took some effort and 3 tries to get right. The non removable PSU shield hampers things a bit. You'd be a lot happier with a modern modular PSU with flat cables. Even non modular with flat cables would be an improvement.
Storage Options:
You can fit two SSDs at the front on removable sleds atop the PSU shroud, two on the mother board tray near the front fans and two behind the motherboard tray. Three removable sleds are included with the case, which are held on with one screw. The HDD tray sits between the PSU and the front panel, and can fit two drives of 2.5 or 3.5 inches in any combo. Again, the positioning makes slim PSU cables necessary. with two drives installed, there is very little space for cable stuffing... er.. management. I installed 2 SATA SSDs behind the motherboard and a 3.5 inch HDD on the tray. I stuffed the RGB controller into the space above the 3.5 inch HDD.
Fans/Cooling:
You can fit a total of 8 120mm fans in this case, theoretically. Practically you can have 6 fans, as two of the locations are on top of the PSU shroud and are useless. You can fit 120 or 140 mm fans at the front and top. I have 3 x 120mm fans at the front as intake and 3 x 120mm fans as exhaust. Other reviews confirm that you can put upto a 280 AIO cooler at the front and a 120mm cooler at the rear.
Front IO:
There are 3 USB ports, two are USB 3. This was one of the reasons I bought this case, as most cases in this range have only one USB3 port. There's a combination Headset jack, a big square soft touch power button with a white halo, a smaller reset button, and a disk activity LED.
Overall Remarks:
It's a nice looking case, and not too large. If you use a modern PSU and M.2 storage, and don't have too many SATA drives, then this would make for a nice airy build with good filtered airflow. All the clutter and cable stuffing remains hidden and the build looks clean from the outside. I would have liked an easier rail less mounting for SSDs like they have on the Silverstone V1M case with rubber grommets for SSDs, and a bit more space above the PSU for utilising all the SSD mount locations, and for cleaner cable management. For the price though, I won't complain...much!
The PSU slot seems to have raised hinges which seem to be a hindrance when installing PSUs that have height more than others. I installed an ANT ESPORTS FP550W PSU with much difficulty. Installing the PSU alone took me more than 30 mnins. There is no cutout to see the PSU and hence we need to adjust the PSU only from the left side. This made it even more difficult for installing the PSU. The foam that is included in the PSU mounting area is very soft and fragile. One came off with the PSU when I adjusted the same.
The filter included below the case for the PSU is flimsy. It comes out very often and is not worth the money.
Cable management seems to be difficult with only less space. I had problems placing my GAMDIAS fan controller hub. With the hub in the back of the case, I was not able to close the back door properly. I had to take out the controller and place it below the motherboard to close the back panel.
I removed the HDD cage and hence got more room to place unused PSU cables below. Also, this case is not ideal for those who use more than one HDDs, because it comes with only one HDD slot. There are three slots for SSDs or 2.5 inch HDDs. This is also a limitation in this case.
The case comes with only one 120mm fan at the back of the case. I already had a set of fans and hence went for the normal model. I had seen reviews where the thermal performance of this case was improved after installing fans in the front and top. So, I have mounted three 120mm in the front, one in the back, and the stock fan was placed at the top of the case. Only with air cooling, the temperatures seem to be under 45 degrees all the time with the maximum only at 53 deg. I am not a heavy gamer and hence do not stress out my system very much. I am a WFH person who uses my system for 10 to 12 hours a day. So, with light usage, I got these results.
The front panel mesh is not removable and hence cleaning the same would require much effort. The I/O panel is attached to the front panel. If this had been removable, it would be easier for cleaning the mesh panel. The power switch, reset switch, and power and hdd LED cables seem to be short but are ideal for any motherboard. The audio and USB 2.0 and 3.0 cables are very long and of good quality. But again, managing and routing these cables seem to be very difficult.
Also, this case is not ideal for someone who has a lot of cables to manage and who has PSUs that are not of small form factor. I impoved cable management space by removing the HDD cage and upgraded my normal HDD to an SSD for storage. So I have only two disks which I placed at the front of the case. Earlier, I had 1 SSD for OS and other applications and three HDDs for storage. My old case was very good for cable management but I had to upgrade it because of damage sustained during a fall. Other than these, the case is absolutely value for money and I loved this case for its looks and cable management cutouts. These were really helpful in managing the cables to some extent.
If anyone is planning to buy this case, go for it if you already have a good set of fans. Otherwise, go for the pro model that includes 4 argb fans with the case itself.
Hope this review helps.
- Mesh front = more airflow
- Sufficient cable management space
- Aesthetically amazing
- Removable filters at the top and underneath the power supply
CONS:
- A dense cloth filter glued behind the mesh front that blocks all the airflow which I had to remove (check pictures attached)
- Missing some of the stand offs for the motherboard. It must be a quality control issue. Good thing I have extras.
- Tight power supply space. Please check the size of your power supply and this case's product support before buying it.
CONCLUSION:
I really like the case aesthetically and I'm a big fan of good airflow cases. Cable management is "okay" for the price. Steve from Gamers Nexus reviewed this case and it was labeled one of the good budget airflow cases. The main complaint I have is the filter that is glued behind the mesh front. Air barely gets in. I just had to remove it. Dust will surely get in, but that doesn't matter to me since I clean my PC every month or two, so your mileage may vary. Also, watch out for the power supply space. Check the sizes and everything. Overall, I give it 4 out 5 stars. I still recommend it for both high-end & low-end builds if you're willing to compromise. Otherwise, go check out the Corsair 4000D Airflow.

The main highlight for me is the mesh front panel. Airflow is paramount for good thermals and system performance and a mesh front panel is a must these days, as I was using this with a system that was running 24/7 good airflow was crucial.
What I love:
- More compact ATX mid-tower, similar to the original FD Meshify C TG
- Amazing airlfow
- Easy to build in
- Tempered Glass (TG)
- Great hardware compatibility
- Good build construction
The meh:
- Not the best for cable tie-down points
- Dust filtration is sub-par, however, better airflow is a benefit. Just something to keep in mind for dusty environments or those who may not clean their system often.
- Fan inclusion is nothing special just a DC fan (normal at this price point), I swapped for 2x140mm PWM intake fans and 2x120mm exhaust fans
The bad:
- Nothing
In this price segment, Silverstone nailed it. All-in-all a great value case that I can highly recommend!
