SilverStone is a leading manufacturer of PC hardware and has a global presence which includes distribution centres all over the globe. Since 2003 SilverStone have released a wide range of products including the likes of PC Cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, fans and much more. SilverStone has such a good reputation they were able to take what most companies would have just called a new line/series of products and actually branded them with them with their own company names. Quality is the game and the good folks at SilverStone are nothing but on top of the ball when it comes to this with their elite team of engineers at the reigns, SilverStone has proven time and time again they are here to stay.
Today I will be taking a look at one of their newer cases which are from their precision series, the PS11B-Q is designed with silence in mind and features a nice brushed aluminium front panel. The PS11B-Q comes with only 1 fan pre-installed which is in the front of the case acting as an intake fan. Aside from this, the PS11B-Q also features some noise reduction insulation to help it deliver on its promise of silence. The PS11 also comes in a W variant that features a windowed side panel, a mesh front panel for better air intake and vented area on the top to allow for better airflow all around.
To get things kicked off, let’s take a quick look at the specifications before we look at the case itself:
