SilverStone SETA A2

Darksaber · Nov 4, 2024

The SilverStone SETA A2 is clearly the successor to the A1, once again sporting that unique look. But that is where the similarities end as the SETA A2 is not only more expensive, but also offers a completely different feature set, ultimately catering to a different user base.

Looks great , wish it had a rotating motherboard tray too to install it 90° ad move the top to the back .

This is definitely a contender for my next home server case, but at this price point I'd expect the fans to be there own 140mm air Penetrator variant with pwm control at least for the front three.

"Those four HDD cages are total overkill for this case - get in the way of long GPUs and limit airflow"

This is more home server case, so that one GPU is overkill, not cages.

I just bought a Silverstone R42-502, really impressed with the quality. They (and Lian Li) seem to be a leader right now.
