SilverStone SETA D1

Darksaber · Sep 18, 2023

The SilverStone SETA D1 utilizes the familiar chassis found in the H1 or Q1 models and supercharges it by accommodating both external and internal storage options. It retains the exceptional versatility of the entire SETA series, enabling users to create builds that fully focus on cooling or large GPUs.

I've always liked Silverstone cases but this one feels like it escaped someone's sketchbook in 2008.
It looks great for like a home server or something, but doesn't make sense for being a modern gaming rig.

Good. I'm glad someone's making stuff like this.

That's because being a modern gaming rig is not what it's meant for. It's intended for things like containing a RAID 10 array with an internal mirror drive and a card reader bank. You know hypothetically speaking. *cough* Though the shared chassis makes it a bit wide for my liking, and DC fans at this price point is a definite miss.

It says right in the review it's a case designed for cooling or large GPUs, so (to me) the implication is there.

Finally, PC case that does not look like it was designed by 10-year-old.

It is shame you did not praise this case much more in the review - this is Last Mohican... Proper cooling options, plenty of drives support, versatility to use 5,25" bays as drive bays or to ignore them and use that area for AIO / better cooling. Proper I/O... Good build quality. This is case that you buy and use for next decade.

Sure, it can't fit RTX4090 and 2x 360 AIO and plenty of HDDs together - but it can fit them in different combinations and that makes it unique proposition on the market.

Modern gaming rigs look like vomit anyway - with all that RGB, limited expansion set and zero versatility...

I'm half considering using this for my Win98 retro build considering the plentiful bays rather than trying to hunt down a nice Lian Li which have become almost unobtainable.

Those hard drive bays will vibrate the case something awful without any vibration dampening. And if you put rubber mounting under them, the SATA ports would not fit the hole on the panel.

Individual drive cages is precisely what is needed for cases like this. In my case I had to remove a cage with five drive bays to fit a long GPU (Fractal Design Define R4). I still have theee slots left, which is plenty for me, but being able to remove individual cages would have been great.

Old school cool, however the price is a bit too steep.
