SilverStone Precision PS05 Case Review

Inside SilverStone Precision PS05

Both side panels are fastened to the case using black thumbscrews, which is great to see in a case from this price range. In Figure 8, you have an overall look at the inside from the Precision PS05. The interior is painted black. The motherboard tray has a big hole around the area where the CPU is installed, allowing access to the backplate of the CPU cooler, so you can replace the cooler without having to remove the motherboard. A hole in the power supply compartment allows you to route cables behind the motherboard tray. The motherboard tray doesn’t go all the way to the front panel, meaning that there is a communication between the area behind the disk drive bays and the back of the motherboard tray, allowing you to easily route and hide cables.

This case supports video cards up to 11” (280 mm) long.

In Figure 10 you have another overall look inside the case. As mentioned, expansion cards are fastened to the case using a tool-less mechanism that can be better seen in Figure 11.

This case has two air filters on its bottom panel. The first one (the one on the left-hand side in Figure 12) matches your power supply fan, while the second one is to be used together with an optional 120 mm fan. If you install this fan, don’t forget that air must flow from the bottom of the case to the top.
