Silverstone

Silverstone welcomed us to their massive booth where a truckload of high end chassis were on display, ranging from high end ATX cases to compact ITX HTPC designs. How about this SG03 which has room for Quad SLI? With room for 2x120mm fans, cooling won’t be much of a problem:




HTPC cases for full ATX boards were plentiful, special version for the Western Digital Raptor X, complete very high end close to 3U cases with LCD display and room for 6+ hard drives; dedicated eSATA storage devices to easily hook up large quantities of drives in RAID to your system, compact cases with cut-out windows so you can see the internals, more LCD and touch screen action… all in all a very impressive showing from Silverstone who are putting forth a very large effort to become the de facto standard for high end HTPC cases.




To complement their chassis they developed cooling products, ranging from low noise CPU heatsinks, to this external water cooling unit which will fit nicely next to your HTPC chassis:



This small device adds a digital to analog sound convertor to your system over USB:



Silverstone is also known for their high end power supplies, their latest models offer up to 1200W with a single 12v rail at 90A! The DA1200 is the modular version of the OP1200 which comes with the same rating:



A modular version the 850W ST85F was on display too, offering 35A over 12v1 and 12v2.



For the completely silent setup this passive 500Watt unit called the ST50NF offers 32A over the 12v and comes with enough connectors to power today’s mid-range gaming systems:



Removable storage, 4in3 hard drive rack and fancy LCD with remote device were also at the Silverstone booth:
