SilverStone FLP01 Review: The 80s Called, They Want Their Case Back

We shall have to wait a while longer for the SilverStone FLP02 retro tower case that we saw at Computex. In the meantime we were offered the new FLP01 which is also retro, but is HTPC instead of a tower. Whether you like it or not, there is no denying the FLP01 brings a breath of fresh air to the world of glass PC cases that are decked with RGB lighting.
