SilverStone introduced the ALTA T2, a vertical workstation chassis that reconfigures how builders approach high-density hardware. This design matters because it allows users to stack extensive storage and cooling solutions in a footprint that fits standard rack spaces. The case targets professionals who need maximum expansion without sacrificing thermal headroom or power redundancy.

Vertical chassis supports XL-ATX boards and dual power supplies
The chassis is constructed from all-aluminum and measures 260 x 732 x 660 mm. It supports XL-ATX motherboards as well as a custom 15.12 x 13.2-inch form factor. This flexibility lets builders use large enterprise-grade boards that standard ATX cases cannot accommodate. The vertical orientation keeps the motherboard accessible while maximizing internal volume for other components.
Specifications
- Form Factor: Vertical Workstation
- Motherboard Support: XL-ATX, 15.12" x 13.2" custom
- Expansion Slots: 11
- Drive Bays: 15 internal, 3 external
- Cooling: Up to three 420mm radiators
Expansion capabilities include 11 slots for add-in cards with 411 mm of GPU clearance. Users can install CPU coolers up to 174 mm in height. The power supply section supports dual PS2 or ATX units, or a 2U CRPS redundant power supply. This configuration ensures continuous operation for critical workloads that cannot tolerate a single point of failure.
Storage capacity reaches 15 internal bays for 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, plus 3 external 5.25-inch bays. Cooling options allow for three 420mm radiators or a front-mounted 180×2 setup. A dedicated reservoir and manifold mount sits on the left side for custom water cooling loops. The case ships with two 180mm fans and one 120mm fan pre-installed to establish baseline airflow.
We looked at SilverStone Launches FSM08-MS 8-Bay M.2 NVMe in our earlier Silverstone coverage. The ALTA T2 completes a high-density storage and compute ecosystem for enterprise users. The chassis is now available for builders seeking a robust, all-aluminum vertical workstation solution.
