The SilverStone SETA H1 aims to do for airflow fans what the SETA Q1 provides to silence enthusiasts. With two 160 mm intake fans in the front, it is poised to stay cool under pressure while leveraging the same spacious interior frame to fit any hardware regardless of size and keeping everything clean and tidy.

Looks like a decent case but the MSRP was a bit higher than I was expecting and the first thing any buyer would likely do is throw away those odd-sized front fans because they'll be putting radiators in it.

Give me that without the ARGBLED nonsense and just a single exhaust fan at $125 or so and we'll talk, otherwise that's too expensive compared to the competition, and there's a lot of fierce competition at ~150 or so.

Very underwhelming. I don't understand why Silverstone keeps trying to cram odd-sized fans into everything, it made sense when they designed the case around the fans (Raven series) but this feels like they're just doing something for the sake of being different... but different doesn't imply good.

I guess it's to try to distract from the fact that this case has very little to differentiate it from a case half the cost... no fan controller, no removable top panel for radiator support, and no PWM for the rear fan are all pretty big misses in my book.

As @Chrispy_ says, for $170 you can do far better, and for 20 bucks less you can still do quite a lot better.

I would rather have seen 200mm fans in the front not some oddball 160mm fans that basically make them useless for anything else the same with their raven and fortress cases 180mm fans yeah ok they are good but feckin useless out of the cases they came with and that cost fwaw bit over the top

Missing rubber grommet over the PCIe cable hole feels like an oversight, since even my PM01 has one.

As for the pricing, I feel that it's another victim of increased shipping costs. My PM01 had 4 fans included and a fan hub and it cost me €125 3 years ago.

200mm fans are pointless when the holes in the front of the case are clogged by metalwork designed for the original tooling of 120mm fans.

Fans put out the most airflow and pressure at the wingtips. Almost nothing of value happens under or near the hub, so putting a big fan in a gap that's only 120mm wide means that you're blocking off a large chunk of the useful part of a fan and allowing mostly the hub and blade sweep near the hub instead, which is borderline useless and definitely very inefficient.

Does anyone know if I put a 360mm radiator on top, would I be able to put 3 120mm fans on the front?

No, they interfere with each other - see how the top fan in the front overhangs the radiator holes for a 360 at the top.
Best you can do is a 360 in the roof and 2x140 in the front.
