SilverStone FLP02 Retro Inspired Case Review

By removing the side panels, you can start to see the modern components that make up the FLP02 and by all accounts this is very typical for a modern chassis.

There is a large opening for CPU heatsink access.  The bracket attached to the basement panel is a GPU support.  To the right you will find two HDD/SSD trays for extra storage.  By default, these trays support SATA based drives so, if you wanted to rock an old IDE you’ll need to break out the Dremel for ribbon and molex cable access.

Flipping the case around you will find ample room for cable routing along with several attachment points for wire and zip ties.  Cables for front panel access and the fan controller are pre-routed down the middle.

You may notice a large array of holes towards the front of the case.  These are left over artifacts from the SETA D1 chassis used to build the FLP02.  That case had considerably more internal HDD/SSD drive trays and the stamping to support this is still evident.

At the bottom of the case under the basement panel you’ll find an additional HDD rack which can be removed or repositioned to provide better access.

Behind the motherboard try you’ll find two 2.5” SSD trays making the total drive support up to six assuming you ignore the external drive bays.
