Review on πŸ’» PS07B Black Mini Tower Computer Case by Silverstone Tek: Micro-ATX Mini-DTX, Mini-ITX, Plastic with Aluminum Accent by Jorge Toussaint

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good choice for building a mini matx tower.

After spending many days looking through many different mini tower micro-atx cases, I settled on this one. I love the minimalist look and it can hold up to six 3.5" internal hard drives, and you can even convert one or both of the 5.25" external bays to add more SSDs or hard drives. I also like that the power supply is at the top. Space can be a little tight, but I took my time and routing the cables really wasn't that difficult. I used the Thermaltake Toughpower 750W non-modular power supply I got in the $20 kit and it worked pretty well. Some reviews make a fuss about having to remove the side panels and six additional screws to open the top to access the power supply. It's actually much ado about nothing, especially if you're not going to keep it open all the time. The two USB 3.0 ports on the front work well and feel solid. The removable motherboard tray is another plus and makes installation much easier. This case has worked flawlessly so far, although I currently only have one hard drive installed. Normally works at 32-34 degrees Celsius and mainly used as HTPC. The two front fans are quiet and I can barely hear the PSU fan sucking in air from the top and exhausting it from the back. I live in a dusty climate and having dust filters on the front and top was also a plus considering this case. You will definitely want to get RAM with a relatively flat heatsink, otherwise it will interfere with the hard drive installation. The G.SKILL Ripjaws X RAM I used worked without any problems. The side panels are solid and this is a solid case that will last for years and survive many upgrades.
