Introduction
I would like to thank
Silverstone for supplying the review sample.
SilverStone has a pretty diverse range of FARA cases, with the B1 Pro variant we are reviewing today offering a semi-translucent, solid front and small air vents along with four ARGB fans. Otherwise, it is meant to be a mainstream chassis with just a black version available, but you may opt for the non-Pro version, which is cheaper as it lacks ARGB fans. Besides the B1, there are also the V1 M for mATX boards or the R1 with a mesh front, for example.
