Silverstone Bets Big on Workstation and Server Cases for AI Development and Acceleration

Silverstone in its 2024 Computex booth showcased the brand's pivot toward premium cases meant for workstations and servers used in the development or acceleration of AI applications. These cases span across industry-standard rackmount form-factors, as well as full-towers, so SMBs and startups could have on-floor AI acceleration machines set up. For AI on the edge, Silverstone showcased the GM1000 2U Gold, a 1000 W redundant PSU, the XE02-4677, a 2U cooling solution for Socket LGA4677, and the RM22-312 2U chassis.

For the general purpose server and SMB AI acceleration markets, the company showcased its RM44 4U case that can be used both as a tower and in a rack, The XE360-4677, which is a 360 mm x 120 mm AIO liquid CPU cooler for LGA4677, and the Gemini 900A Gold, an 80 Plus Gold rated 900 W redundant power supply. AI development systems see the lion's share of Silverstone's signature aesthetics and innovations, as these cases blur the lines between high-end desktops and workstations. The Alta D1 is an ATX full-tower, which can hold an SSI-EEB motherboard with up to 11 expansion slots for multiple GPUs, provision for either redundant PSUs or 5.25-inch cages that can be used as mounts for multiple SSDs; and provision for a couple of large radiators, to cool the CPU.
Staying with the AI development market, Silverstone showcased the XE360-SP5, an AIO liquid CPU cooler for AMD Socket SP5, and the XE04-SP5, a 4U air cooling solution for the same socket. The Hela 2050R Platinum is a high-grade, fully modular PSU, with 2050 W on tap, multiple EPS connectors for server processors, and plenty of power connectors to power those multiple GPUs. For virtualization and cloud-computing (where you own the hardware and basically sell tokens), the company has the new RM61-312, a large 6U rackmount case, and the GM800C Platinum, a compatible 800 W PSU.

Silverstone always offered products for niche cases(super tiny ones) so nothing new that they are offering cases addressing workstation users.

Can we return our old non-AI cases for free when we buy these, or do we have to pay a recycling fee?

I like that mesh tower case in the first two images. I wonder how much that one would cost.

HECK YEAH!!!! I love what Silverstone has been putting out, especially their recent 4U and 5U chassis. These are insane looking! That first one shown is especially appealing to me. I hope the Homelab community pays more attention to them. I know they're a bit pricey especially when compared to used SuperMicro chassis, Rosewill chassis (which have gone up in price) and more boutique ones like Slinger but I feel like their offerings have a lot of design choices that make more sense for DIY builds; especially fan place wise.
