Introduction
I would like to thank
SilverStone for supplying the review sample.
The SilverStone Fara V1M Pro we are reviewing in this article does not only look very different from the Fara B1 or R1 series we have reviewed in the past, but is also more compact, offering Micro-ATX support. Its front with embedded ARGB strips and a smartly placed fan has it also look much more modern and appealing to the lighting-infatuated gaming crowd, and based on the marketing imagery and specifications, the case looks to be quite a bit more modern as well.

Packaging
The SilverStone Fara V1M Pro ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the enclosure on the larges panels. On the sides is a short list of features in multiple languages and a basic specifications table.
The chassis ships with fairly skinny Styrofoam spacers holding it in place and a plastic bag protecting it further from scratches or fingerprints. All that having been said, we did get our sample in pristine condition.
