How much I do wish that I had been a case reviewer when the classic cases such as the amazing SilverStone's TJ-07's were new or the SilverStone Raven was in its first production model with its inverted motherboard tray or even the time when the first Fortress 2 came on scene and lest we forget the SilverStone Crown Series of the CW02 HTPC case. That Crown Series alone could make your newest high dollar Marantz SA-11S3 sound system look like it's playing second fiddle to the HTPC sitting next to it. Oh, those were the days, and I miss them with great zeal even until today and would be honored to own even one of those cases that I have just described and often drool over them on ebay now and then, when I can find one of them.

When I heard that SilverStone was sending me a couple of cases this time, I found myself almost drooling with anticipation. As the Computer Case Modder living inside of me, I knew all too well, that SilverStone was like the Bentley luxury motor car of computer cases and for lots great reasons. They practically invented the brushed aluminum look and some of their cases are still classics to this day. They were some of the first cases to ever address large radiators in their case bottoms and tops with custom water cooling was almost a must with a SilverStone case even when most of us were enjoying our newest ASUS Silent Square cpu cooler. So many case modding creations have come from this wonderful company that sounds like it might make quality Kitchen Appliances, but in truth they make some of the nicest cases that have ever graced the planet Earth.
