SilverStone Redline Series RL05 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Exterior

On the left side panel, you’ll find a huge window section, giving a very uncompromising view of the interior; best take care with your cable routing!

A solid black panel on the right, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

The front panel is definitely where all the fun stuff is going on, with four red sections on the edges giving some stark contrast to the matte black finish. There’s a huge amount of ventilation here too, with two pre-installed 140mm fans in the front that are sure to keep your system cool and quiet.

Around the back, an optional 120mm fan mount at the top, perfect for mounting an AIO cooler if you have one. Below that, there are seven ventilated expansion slots, giving you more than enough room for a multi-GPU configuration. Finally, you’ll find a PSU cut out at the bottom, all pretty straight forward really.

For the top section, there’s a simple set of 120mm fan mounts with a mesh filter on the interior. I’d have liked to see a cover for these for those who aren’t using them, but this is a more budget focused chassis, so it’s not the end of the world either way.

On the base, a simple mesh filter clips in/out and helps provide clean air for the PSU air intake.
