Introduction

I would like to thank Silverstone & Overclockers UK for supplying the review sample.


The Precision PS08 is a mATX chassis of compact dimensions and clean looks, but its ability to hold swallows much more than you might surmise by just looking at its exterior. This is what Silverstone has to say about their newest addition to the PS08 line-up:

The new Precision series PS08 was created with the goal of exceeding user experience and expectation of affordable PC chassis by offering a wide range of features and completing it off with great build-quality. A full array of features like USB 3.0, removable fan filter, an all-black painted interior, and CPU backplate cutout are standard in this great chassis. The top-mounted power supply allows for easier installation and the cleverly designed interior allows for up to four 3.5” HDDs, one 2.5” HDD, and 14.1” long graphics card to be installed. For those requiring a quality enclosure with great styling and flexibility, the PS08 is an excellent choice.

Packaging

Silverstone packages the Precision PS08 into a plain cardboard package with black print on it. The front has an image of the chassis, while the rear goes into more detail about its features. Both sides hold additional text and specifications. Due to the compact size of the box, there are no holes cut into these smaller areas.


A set of compact Styrofoam spacers holds the chassis in place and protects it from physical damage, while a plastic bag protects against scratches and finger prints during the packing process.

Contents

You will find a bag full of black screws and a few zip ties within the chassis, but instead of a manual, you will simply get a pamphlet with specifications and a blow-up diagram. Considering that the Precision PS08 is an unusual case, a manual would have been a good addition and may be sorely missed, especially by first-time builders.
