The Silverstone Primera PM02 is a nice looking chassis both in black and white. The use of nothing but metal and glass really makes for a nice, high quality feel, and the design allows for some eye candy in the front as well. To protect the interior, all the removable dust filters come in really handy, so you should not have to worry about grime buildup on top of your precious hardware, especially since Silverstone chose to include a whooping four 140 mm fans inside the case.

Those external attributes, coupled with the future-proof I/O options in the top panel in the form of four USB 3.0 ports (one of which is a USB-C connector), make it actually quite the worthwhile case at the European price print of €100, which translates to around US$120 (incl. taxes). However, in the US, users will have to shell out an extra 20%–25% unfortunately, which means Silverstone may suddenly find itself in tough territory with other models like the NZXT H500i, which may not have the out-of-the box cooling power of the Silverstone Primera PM02 or USB-C port, but goes the extra mile with unique tooling and the interior design, as well as RGB components. That said, both cases seem to be geared towards a different target audience, with the H500i maybe going for the larger group.

In the interior, the Silverstone Primera keeps things simple, but certainly functional. The only plastic bits within are the hard drive mounting trays, which are all completely tool free for easy assembly. On top of that, the metal shroud assures that you will end up with a clean and beautiful build. Thanks to the offset mounting holes in the ceiling and large vent in the front, you are able to mount large and powerful radiators, while also being able to opt for big air cooling or long GPUs.

So, the Silverstone Primera PM02 may buckle the RGB trend and doesn't push the envelope in regards to a unique internal layout, but it does offer a lot of unique selling points both in terms of features and functionality.
