Looks alright, I wish the front panel was wood though, like maybe a nice birch.

Thank you for this. I had I clicking front fan. I had no idea how to take off the front aluminium panel to investigate! Once opened, thanks to this video break down, I noticed the filter was attached by a large amount of electrical tape that had come loose and hitting the blades. I guess you get what you pay for!

GOOD IDEA FROM PC WORLD TO DO THESE TEARDOWN FILMS - Well Done.

In black it might be better. The gold front is awefull. I am very interested how the limited airflow from the front affects the temps in the case. Two small air vents cannot bring that much air into the case... Even with the big fan in the front.

It's a really nice case, i appreciate attempt of unique design for the front panel but it could have been way better with a mesh panel, Silverstone if you ever read customers feedback, you now know what to do :)
Have a great week guys and keep it up the great job <3

That copper looking front is quite a specific look. A bit of a gamble to take on mass production. I kinda like it and I also kinda don't lol. Hi Alaina!!👍

One of them vertical GPU mount screws looks to be cross threaded. Also for an air cooled card that’s gonna choke it from getting any good amount of air. I don’t know why they don’t make it so the traditional mounts are converted to vertical.

It would be nice to have a full review of a case from time to time. The unboxing and teardown is fine, but maybe do a full review if a case grabs your attention.

Hey Alania, Have you seen the AZZA Pyramid 804V? Love to see you guys do a Build in this!

[alpha-bravogaming]

I just wanted to let you know it is pronounced Seta

[blakecasimir]

Those looks like similar to their FARA series. Softly different port location and front panel. I'd really like to know how the Fara R1 performs with its mesh front panel. This sounds wider with its 175mm cooler clearance. Fara R1 has 165mm I think.

Wheres the new Fortress SilverStone WTF. Love my FT05 but it needs a glass panel and small revisions. V2 please.

Being a Silverstone case I was hoping to witness a hug 👀 never mind maybe next case stay sweet Alaina 🌹

[MrChomiq]

OK SilverStone, now redo this with mesh front, rubber grommets, removable drive tray etc.

I know it doesnt really matter but the box it came in looks like something a printer from 2006 comes in

Looks can be deceiving, we designed the Seta A1 to have a clean front but still good airflow. We later tuned the included fans for quietness as priority to match its look better. For those of you interested, please check out Tech Buyer's Guru review on this case where they tested for cooling performance and noise:

These are selling for $150 Australian dollars, ie $100 USD after tax...

[standuporshutup]

Closed front panel and...color choice aside, case looks blegh. Lack of rubber grommets for 130? Kudos to them for trying something new with the drive cages though.

[tsuzot]

$130 for a case with a closed off front panel, no thanks.

"Freedom units" - AvE approves. By the way, the second one is "science" units.
