Inside the SilverStone Precision PS07
Contents
Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. The Precision PS07 follows the same design concept as the Temjin TJ08-E, where its motherboard tray is “flipped.” On virtually all tower cases, the motherboard is installed against the cases’ right panel, so we need to open the left panel to install the motherboard and additional components. This case, however, uses the opposite configuration. The motherboard is installed against the left panel; therefore, you need to open the right panel to install the motherboard and other components.
The motherboard tray has a huge hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard from the case, two big holes for you to route cables behind it, and several metallic clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties.

Figure 11 gives you another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using regular screws, but at least they are black. The SilverStone Precision PS07 supports video cards up to 13.5” (343 mm) long and CPU coolers up to 6.5” (165 mm) tall, which is impressive for such a small case.
At the bottom panel, this case has CPU cooler support. This support can be moved up and down to hold your CPU cooler. It is a very interesting device, especially if you have a big CPU cooler.

As already explained, the power supply is installed at the top of the case. Note that it can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. The Precision PS07 supports power supplies up to 7.1” (180 mm) deep.
