A Closer Look - Inside

To gain access to the interior, simply unscrew the pair of thumb screws holding each panel in place. The first thing you will notice is the fact that Silverstone has minimized the use of metal within by removing most of the motherboard tray. While this should not end up being an issue, it also removes any possibility of tying cables down behind the tray; that is, except on the remaining parts, which reduces any cable hiding and routing possibilities to a minimum. This also leaves large areas of the board unprotected during the building process. There are around 10 mm behind the motherboard and side panel - not counting the height of the board spacers.


The front of the interior can be considered quite unique. There is a single slot for a 2.5" SSD on the floor of the case, while the area above it is just spare space, although it may look like space occupied by bays from the side. There are also four 3.5'' bays at mid height, which brings the total number of installable storage units to five. The two 5.25" bays are of the traditional kind and lack any kind of screw-less systems.


Turning our focus to the rear, there is actually not much to see. The four expansion slots are situated quite close to the bottom of the case, but should still be able to hold any card you install. Above that are the small air vent for an optional exhaust fan and the simple PSU bay.


In terms of cables, Silverstone keeps things simple with the Precision PS08 as well. The sleeving is of default color and all headers are of the traditional kind. It would have been nice to have an additional USB 2.0 header attached to the 20-pin USB 3.0 one, so users could connect the I/O to older boards as well.
