Introduction

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


The SilverStone SETA A1 was released around four years ago, so the time is certainly ripe for an update. The SETA A2 was first showcased at Computex this year and comes in two color options: white with a rose gold front metal panel or in all black. While it carries a model name that makes it sound like a successor to the A1, the SETA A2 is actually completely different and also offers a very different set of specifications, as the case landscape has changed considerably over the years. That said, SilverStone has managed to recreate the somewhat iconic look from the original, so from a visual perspective it should be crystal clear that these belong to the same range of enclosures. Of the two color options we received the black SilverStone SETA A2 for review.

Specifications

Packaging

The SilverStone SETA A2 ships in the usual brown box with the same print on both larger panels consisting of a view of the chassis front and its model number. On the sides you are provided with a few bulletin points outlining the USPs of the chassis according to SilverStone. The English version reads "Great durability chassis with solid steel construction" at the top of the list, which made us chuckle. Here you will also find a white sticker with the letter B on it, so that it is clear that this box contains the black variant of the chassis.


To secure the case SilverStone has employed two black foam spacers, which is a nice step up from the usual Styrofoam variants. A plastic bag also protects the chassis from scratches and fingerprints at the factory.
