Silverstone SST-PS08B Micro-ATX Case Detailed
Silverstone released an entry-level micro-ATX case, the Precision Series PS08B. Built primarily of SECC-steel and ABS plastic, the case measures 168mm (W) x 355mm (H) x 400mm (D), weighing about 3.5 kg. The PS08B includes a handy innovation - the 3.5-inch drive cage is shifted towards the left-hand side facing front, which allows graphics cards to pass right through. As a result, cards as long as 14.1-inch (35.8 cm) can be installed, provided they're less than 5.7-inch (14.47 cm) tall. The case features a total of two 5.25-inch, four 3.5-inch, and two 2.5-inch drive bays.
The motherboard tray of the PS08B supports micro-ATX and mini-ITX form-factors. A large cutout decks the CPU socket area, for easy access to CPU coolers with back-plates. Ventilation includes one 120 mm front intake, and one 80 mm rear exhaust. The utility panel includes USB 3.0 (standard header) and audio jack (HD audio header). Slated for market release in late-October, the PS08B is priced at 3,980¥ (US $50).

fail, no cables at all
How do those cards get any air?
Still a nice little case.
Plug in the cables, then insert the graphics card, bend the cables as you're inserting; and not install the card and then attempt to plug in the cables. Not rocket science, really.
Unfortunately the outside just isn't doing it for me so I'd use it for neither purpose.
packaging seems tight but doable, cooling might be adequate as long as the HDD cage is not full.. i prefer the PS07 thanks..
I think Silverstone has become a bit like honda recently. Still remain very practical and a quality product (in the most part) with some pretty cool features, but are butt ugly or just plain boring. Silverstone really must have lost some designers in the recent months.
PR fail right there, not really product fault. Showed setup isn't what this case is designed for.
What is product fault is the ugly exterior looks. I would take TJ08-E over that thing any day.
