Primera is the Spanish word for "first" or "first class." Cases in this series are designed for those seeking to build PCs with rich feature set and trend-setting aesthetics. The Primera PM01 is an incredible computer case that fuses eye-catching styling and functionality in a package rarely seen in the PC world. It utilizes high quality, piano-like finish with oversized intake mesh panel inspired by sports car intake grill for unusually sleek exterior. Paired with an elaborate lighting system consists of LED fans and built-in adjustable LED strips, the PM01 can project the feel of a luxurious supercar on a highly customizable computer case. The roomy interior layout supports a variety of large, high end components that are designed to be cooled efficiently and quietly by the included three 140mm LED intake fans and an 140mm exhaust fan. True to SilverStone tradition, the PM01 also has excellent dust protection thanks to implementation of easily removable filters and positive pressure airflow setup. Novice users will find this case a pleasure to build with and maintain while advanced users will find details such as support for two 360mm radiator mounting positions and water tank mounting holes to be highly useful for building beautiful liquid cooled PCs.

Great case, could easily cost 50% more and still be worth it.
Best airflow of any case I've had! Compared to my previous 3x120mm fanned case, My liquid cooled 980ti runs 4-6 degrees cooler, my CPU runs 10 degrees cooler, both are AIO liquid cooled. There isn't a ton of room for cables behind the side panel, but the basement has TONS of room for cables. The LED button has 4 modes: ON (default at power on), Dimmer, Breathing, Off. This button controls the lights in the front intake fans and the lights built into the case. Any other fans you add will not be controlled by the button. There is a fan hub (molex/4-pin powered) where you'll normally be routing cables. The bottom of the 4 3.5" HDD slots in the basement is a bit of a pain to use if you have angled SATA cables. I found 1" screws (25mm) that fit into my SSDs so I could mount them on the backside of the case mounts. This makes them visible through the window rather than hidden from view on the cable management side. Plenty of room for custom liquid loops too.

Keeps everything cool but LEDs not as vibrant as they appear online
Everyone who comes into my office immediately goes, "Wow that computer is huge...but dang does it look good." The tower gave plenty of room inside for assembling the computer, and offered just enough organization on the backside for wire management and hiding them from the tempered glass side. Overall I'm very satisfied with this tower. Running the MSI gaming app, I will often overclock my GPU and CPU for virtual reality gaming and 4k video editing and the front fans keep everything cool and running smoothly.Cons: the LEDs in reality are not as vibrant as they appear in the picture. If you really want this tower to pop, make sure you have a mobo that has something like Mystic Light or other RGB lighting capabilities as the interior LEDs that come with the tower do very little if anything to light up the interior. I'm going to most likely add an extra LED RGB strip to the tower's interior to light things up more, but that's just a personal preference. Also, the metal side of the case opposite of the tempered glass side is hard to take off and put on. I actually had to call SilverStone support to make sure I wasn't going to break the case, and their customer support told me that it's normal. Nonetheless, mess with the metal side too much and it's quite easy to bend the thin metal, so try to get everything right on the interior before you close up the tower.

Hard cable management but great full tower case
First of all. I've only had this for about 3 weeks. I just managed to fully assemble everything a couple days ago though. The case itself is huge and pretty spacious. I just barely can fit a 255ml res and pump combo for my liquid cooling loop. It's cabeling is nice and tidy and the LEDS on the front fans are beautiful. The only problem I have with this case is it's complete afterthough of cable management. Now granted I have a ton going on in my case, from pumps, fans, hard drives; but, the amount of room that's available on the backside of this case is so incredibly small. You have just a hair more than maybe two ssds on top of each other. Simply with the motherboard 24pin cable and a few wires on top of that I was having trouble closing the backside. Luckily the back metal is extremely(and kinda sad it is) thin and can pretty much bend around the cables and still close albeit it still took me forever. Other than those two things this case has everything I needed. Side note: the top grill is not cut in the cases sold. I modded my case in order to do the water cooling loop originally

The thing that killed it for me...
My son bought this case and immediately, I mean immediately, regretted it once he got it out of the box. It took over 30 minutes to just remove a panel! That's all it took to end up with a review like this. You shouldn't have to pull with all your might to remove a computer panel. You shouldn't have to get out a screw driver to pry it open. This review is based entirely on that one unfortunate flaw to the case.

Looks amazing, could have been designed better and built better.
Looks 11/10.Building 7/10.Good performance, however difficult and annoying to build in due to the non tempered glass side panel being too close to mobo tray, they really need to give you more space for all the wires routed behind the motherboard. Also, relatively light gauged metal that feels a bit on the cheap side. Also, really not happy with how you have to install top radiator, you must sandwich the top of the case with a radiator on the inside and fans on the outside, compared to other manufactures like Phanteks with their own sliding radiator tray... This doesn't feel like it was really meant for AIOs.

Dust filters are inadequate . Paint colors outside of case are inconsistent
First off, the dust filters are a cruel joke. My primary reason for purchasing this case was: I needed a case with dust filters. I live with other people who have 3 dogs. These filters do nothing to trap even the largest dust particles.First week of owning the case and their was a layer of dust on all the components. The dust filters however, trapped nothing at all. Huge disappointment.The paint job is inconsistent. The case panel with the Unicorn graphic, the black paint does not match the black paint on the rest of the case. This is quite disappointing considering I have to look at it every day and be reminded of this flaw.Also the glossy paint gets hairline scratches very very easily. Make sure you use extremely soft cloth to wipe this case down. Cotton cloth is not soft enough. I learned this the hard way unfortunatelyThe airflow in the case is fantastic and this case has all the features, rgb lights and room for a great looking build.The manual was fairly good and was useful for the build.It's a fairly nice looking case.

Glass EXPLODES- Will Not Replace Side Panel
I loved this case and had been using it for just over a year when the side panel exploded in my hands while removing it to put in a new nvme. Now Silverstone WILL NOT REPLACE the panel as they are no longer making this case. They gave me no options or solutions even if I paid for a new panel. If you buy this you will be doing so knowing you can never get this case fixed.

Spacious case, great ventilation
Very good case. Good conception, has space enough inside for my gtx 1070 and all of my all drive. I love the division between psu and hard drive and the rest of the part, it make the cable management more easy to do. Very good ventilation, enough space too for my h100i v2 cooler on the top of the case.

Very nice
The plastic window is cheap and scuffs up easily but no surprise. Great airflow at the expense of a bit of fan noise. The included fans are nice. Wiring was really easy but a tiny bit tighter than some of the Full Tower setups I've seen.

Great looking case with nice quiet fans
Great looking case with nice quiet fans. The RGB to motherboard connector is tough to install because of the cable end design. Cable managment needs good planning to make it work well. My power supply cables just barley reached the motherboard power, I would suggest a fully modular power supply with very flexible wires.

A Bit of a ripoff for the price in 2019
In 2019, there are better, cheaper options. Fans use Molex not PWM. Beautiful case, i love the way it looks easy to build in, cable management is ok, however for the price you would expect more high end features like a glass panel.

Good but not great.
It creates a steam . It is not a good cooling solution for your pc.
