Introduction

I would like to thank Silverstone for supplying the review sample.


The Silverstone Redline RL05 is for the value-conscious enthusiast and comes in two different color choices. Before we dive into the review, let's see what Silverstone has to say about their RL05 chassis:

The Redline series RL05 was created with the goal of exceeding user experience and expectation for affordable PC chassis by offering punchy styling and features reserved often for more expensive models. RL05 includes two 140 mm LED fans as intakes to inject a large amount of air flow through the filter for SilverStone's signature positive pressure setup that not only provides great cooling but also minimal dust buildup. PSU and drive bay areas have covers to clearly section off individual components inside for separate cooling zones while also letting users hide cables for pristine look on the interior. Lastly, a USB 3.0 Type-C port is located in the front I/O cluster to provide convenient connection to this reversible plug-in technology. For enthusiasts looking to build a PC with top-notch features and styling on a budget, the RL05 is an outstanding choice.

Specifications

Packaging

Silverstone ships the Redline RL05 in a brown cardboard box with an image of the enclosure on front, alongside a compact list of features. On the rear, an image of the interior is meant to prepare and entice you for what is inside. Both side panels list detailed specifications and have two carrying holes for you to easily carry it home.


Two fairly compact Styrofoam spacers hold the RL05 in place, while a plastic bag protects it from fingerprints and scratches.
