The SilverStone PS05-B Mid-Tower PC Case

SilverStone PS05

Today, SilverStone gives Legit Reviews a look at their newest mid-tower case in their Precision Series lineup, the PS05. Since their inception in 2003, they have released exceptional products for the common tinkerer up to the extreme PC enthusiast. Currently the asking price for the SilverStone PS05 is $49.99 , but Newegg.com is offering a $10 rebate that takes it down to $39.99. This prices the PS05 puts it down in the budget case range and for a slick looking all chassis that is black inside and out, how can you go wrong?

SilverStone doesn't post warranty information on their site due to varying warranty coverage offered in different regions. In some countries, the warranty maybe one year while others maybe 60 or 90 days. In the North America, SilverStone offers a one year on all of their cases from the date of purchase. Not bad for a case that costs less than $40.  Now, let's take a look and see what their latest mid tower offers.
