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.
