The new CFP51 from Silverstone is quite a
unique product. It is a universal bay converter designed for those
with mid or full tower cases sporting three free 5.25" drive bays. Not only will it
convert them so that you can mount a total of four additional hard drives, but will
also enhance the look of your chassis and provide added cooling capabilities as
well. This sleek and well-designed accessory will appeal to storage
lovers and is primarily designed to maximize the storage capabilities of your chassis.
Let's have a closer look...

Like all their products, this accessory is built with the highest quality.
The front sports an appealing aluminum panel accented by their logo.
The rest of the body is made of lightweight aluminum and the product comes in both
silver and black to blend in well with most modern setups. Now, what I
failed to notice from the beginning was that the front does feature some
cutoffs that can be all removed to expose the fan and provide much better
cooling.

When removing the front accent panel, you'll find a quality 120mm fan that
unlike many standard fans, features a unique 11 blade designed for maximum airflow.
The CFP51 is also designed as an accent piece for your chassis as it sports
a blue LED fan and attractive aluminum bezel to enhance the overall design
of your current chassis.
