SilverStone Fara H1 M: Micro-ATX case with an airy mesh front
Source: Hardware Luxx added 07th Jan 2021With the Fara H1 M, SilverStone is expanding its Fara case series. The new model is a mini-tower that can hold a maximum of Micro-ATX mainboards. A mesh front gives hope for good cooling performance.
Only recently we were able to test a midi tower from the Fara series with the Fara B1 Pro. With its four A-RGB fans, this model is a real eye-catcher, but the cooling performance suffers a little from the transparent plastic front. With the smaller Fara H1 M, SilverStone is now taking a different approach. The mini-tower is equipped with a single 120 – mm fan at the rear, but has a mesh front. A considerable airflow should be possible, especially in combination with additional front fans. Two 120 – or 140 – mm front fans and two 120 – mm lid fan. Alternatively, SilverStone provides a 240 – mm front radiator and a 120 – mm rear wall radiator.
With dimensions of 210 x 392 x the Micro-ATX case mm (W x H x D) a volume of 30, 13 liters. The weight of the steel case is given as 4, 24 kg. The I / O panel in the lid shows a somewhat outdated configuration with two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port as well as two 3.5 mm jack sockets for audio. A two-part interior is visible through the slightly tinted hard glass side panel. In the mainboard chamber there is space for a Micro-ATX mainboard with up to 16 cm high CPU cooler and up to 32 cm long graphics card (without front fan). In the bottom chamber there is an up to 25 cm long power supply unit or a combination of one up to 16 cm long power supply and a drive cage space. This cage can hold two 3.5-inch drives. The drive space on the cage can alternatively be used for a 2.5 inch drive. Two pure 2.5-inch drive slots are available on the mainboard tray.
SilverStone has not yet given any information about the price. The Fara H1 M has not yet been listed in the price comparison either. But you can certainly expect a relatively low price.
