The PS05 case is a mid tower case which is the most common form factor for cases. This case accepts ATX and Micro ATX form factor motherboards and is a good fit for most people wanting a new case. The case sports 5 fan slots for up to 5 120mm fans, which means the airflow in the case will be outstanding. Another outstanding feature is the tool-less installation of almost every component.

One feature of the higher end cases on the market is it being colored all the same inside and out. In this case the PS05 case is painted black both inside and out, making for a classic looking black case. Another outstanding feature that is shared among higher end cases with this one is vibration-dampening mountings for the hard drives. As you might know vibration and shock are two leading causes of data loss in a hard drive and this will help protect them.

 

The SilverStone PS05 Precision Series case is an excellent purchase at $39.99. Installation was easy as pie to do, and the tool-less design worked wonders.
