The SilverStone FLP03 Retro-Inspired Micro-ATX Tower Chassis combines classic 1990s beige styling with modern thermal engineering, housing three external 5.25-inch drive bays alongside support for 360 mm liquid cooling radiators. Designed for builders who want vintage aesthetics without giving up modern hardware compatibility, this 48.5 L chassis delivers high-airflow capability in a classic tower form factor.
Authentic retro aesthetics engineered for modern sleeper builds
Constructed from durable steel and high-impact plastic, the SilverStone FLP03 presents a classic beige finish that evokes the classic era of personal computing. Measuring 220 mm wide, 456.3 mm high, and 483.6 mm deep, it provides a compact 48.5-litre footprint that sits comfortably on desktop workstations or retro-gaming setups. Beneath its vintage exterior, the internal layout fully supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, allowing you to build a powerful current-generation system hidden inside retro packaging.
Unmatched legacy flexibility with three external 5.25-inch drive bays
Unlike standard modern cases that eliminate front optical bays entirely, the FLP03 features three external 5.25-inch drive bays plus a dedicated 5.25-inch control panel bay. This gives enthusiasts the rare freedom to install DVD or Blu-ray optical drives, hot-swap drive bays, fan controllers, or vintage audio panels.
Front-panel connectivity balances legacy appearance with modern functionality, offering high-speed ports neatly integrated into the chassis design:
- 1x USB Type-C portfor high-speed modern external drives and mobile peripherals
- 2x USB 3.0 Type-A portsfor fast data transfer with flash drives and accessories
- 1x Audio jack and 1x Microphone jackfor direct analog headset connections
Generous 413 mm GPU headroom and 5 expansion slots
Building a modern gaming PC or workstation inside a retro enclosure often means sacrificing GPU size, but the FLP03 provides 5 expansion slots and supports graphics cards up to 413 mm long. This extensive clearance ensures compatibility with full-length triple-fan graphics cards.
For processor cooling, the chassis offers up to 169 mm of CPU cooler height clearance when used without the included GPU support brace. With the GPU support brace installed to prevent heavy graphics card sag, maximum CPU cooler height remains a generous 155 mm.
Pre-installed 180 mm intake fan and 360 mm radiator support
Thermal management in vintage cases was notoriously restrictive, but the FLP03 utilizes high-volume fan and radiator mounts to maintain low operating temperatures. Out of the box, it comes equipped with a pre-installed 180 mm front intake fan and a 120 mm rear exhaust fan, creating positive pressure airflow straight out of the box.
Liquid cooling and air cooling support options include:
- Top Fan/Radiator Support:Mount up to 3x 120 mm or 2x 140 mm fans, or radiators up to 360 mm (120mm, 140mm, 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm supported)
- Front Fan/Radiator Support:Accommodates 1x 180 mm, 1x 140 mm, or 1x 120 mm fan, with radiator support up to 280 mm
- PSU Shroud Fan Support:Additional space for 2x 120 mm fans to draw direct cool air toward the expansion area
- Rear Fan/Radiator Support:1x 120 mm fan (included) or 1x 120 mm radiator
Flexible ATX power supply mounting and internal storage options
The FLP03 houses standard PS2 (ATX) power supplies with adjustable mounting positions depending on your internal drive configuration. Installing the internal drive bay in the front position permits power supplies up to 200 mm in length, while moving the drive bay to the rear position allows power supplies up to 180 mm long.
Internal storage drive capacity includes dedicated mounts for various storage formats:
| Dedicated 3.5-inch Bay | 1x 3.5-inch drive |
| Flex 3.5/2.5-inch Bay | 1x 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive |
