Dive back in time with SilverStone's latest offering, the FLP02 — a modern powerhouse disguised in a 80s-inspired tower case. This beauty was unveiled at Computex 2025 in Taipei and serves as a tribute to your childhood sleeper PC dreams.
The FLP02's retro charm, reminiscent of PC cases popular in the late 80s, conceals the capacity to house some of the most coveted components of today. Think large modern GPUs, up to 360mm AiO CPU coolers, and more. To make things even sweeter, it comes equipped with functional power, turbo, and locking keys upfront, alongside hidden modern features.
Take a gander at the gallery for the key tech specs of the SilverStone FLP02. But trust us, our first-hand experience shows it's more appealing than the stats might imply. For instance, SilverStone has cleverly concealed modern front I/O such as a USB Type-C, two USB 3.0 Type-A, and a combo audio jack under a magnetic flap on the case facia.
We also observed that any hefty modern GPU you'd want to fit can be supported in the FLP02 with the built-in stand. For example, in the showcased build, a matching beige stand was used to prevent a triple-fan Radeon from sagging.
Repurposing nostalgic PC add-ons
Notably, the Turbo button has been employe to toggle through fan speeds on the FLP02. The selected speed mode is signaled by a red segmented display on the case. Also, the supplied key locks the power button, bringing back memories of some ancient systems.
At first glance, it might seem that the FLP02 features usable 5.25-inch bays, a rarity in 2025 cases. Yet, these can prove useful for enthusiasts and tinkerers. The FLP02 offers three such bays. If unused, you can simply leave the dummy 5.25-inch floppy fascias in place.
Arrival and Pricing
The SilverStone FLP02 is set to launch in Q3 or Q4 of 2025, and will be priced at $220 in the US. SilverStone has indicated that it plans to produce a large number of these cases, owing to the high demand for the FLP01, which they are still trying to keep up with.
