Introduction

I would like to thank SilverStone for supplying the review sample.


The Alta series from SilverStone represents their vision of a no-limits chassis. That stage was set with the Alta F1, which we ran through its paces around the same time two years ago and now continues with the second generation, the Alta F2, which is the focus of this review. The F2, while in the same family of enclosures, has very little in common with the F1 besides the focus on offering SilverStone's signature 90° rotated layout and use of large Air Penetrator fans at the bottom. Besides that, the SilverStone Alta F2 sports an all new exterior and interior design.

Specifications

Packaging

Just like the Alta F1, the F2 ships in a massive box with plastic clips which you have to remove to pull off the top packaging. On the larger panels, there is a simple image of the chassis, while both sides go into details  of the specifications and features in multiple languages.


Pulling the cover off, you are left with cardboard reinforced foam pieces which hold the chassis in place securely. A plastic bag has been used to further protect the Alta F2 from scratches. On top of that, there is a large accessories box shimmed into the side of the package.
