SilverStone ALTA D1

Darksaber · 2024-10-28T14:22:00+0000

The Alta D1 may be part of the same high-end family of SilverStone cases, but it could not be any more different than the F1 or F2. Taking its DNA from servers, the SilverStone Alta D1 is built like a tank, offering modularity to cater to AI applications, rendering scenarios or anything you can think of.

Thanks for the review and as usual Silverstone doing unique things for niche use cases.

I like it! This is the sort of case I need.

With eleven expansion slots, you'll be able to install as many as two of the upcoming RTX 5090 cards in this case!

So big but only 4 drives is kinda useless if you really wanna use it as a server unless you use 10+ tb drives. Looks great for all the options.

This is an extremely based case. The people who need it know that they need it. Completely useless for an average home build though, except as a flex.

Nice build but a somewhat boring case, IF you need that size, otherwise m.E.h....

All that case, so few USB-C ports

Yea I know that depends on the mobo, but just sayin

This is a workstation box. Workstation class SSDs are much larger in capacity than consumer based ones and many of them come in AIC format. You don't need that many spinner drives.

That is a nice looking case. I'd love to have one but not at that price. I actually just bought an Enthoo Pro2 Server case to put a workstation in which is probably a fraction of the quality but it also was a fraction of the price.

It has the side panel my Corsair D5000 wishes it had.

SilverStone continues to make compelling cases, but expensive.

This, this, this. Now that every other company copies the Lian Li O11, after they are done copying the Fractal Design Define, it's refreshing to see SilverStone to continue with their style and unique ideas.

Makes me miss Caselabs even more.
