Price comparisons with the US are inevitable. The Sileo can be purchased for between 70$-75. Various online retailers in India have it listed for around Rs 4500/-. This makes it a slightly pricey proposition. Prices for in-store pick up in the US are significantly lesser at around $50-55. A pricing strategy that is a little more in touch with market realities and the idea of affordability in the Indian scenario would surely result in better sales here.
The CM Sileo sets out to be a low priced silent cabinet. It has its little niggles, such as the intrusive positioning of dampening material and the hard plastic case feet/pushpins. Despite all these issues, the Sileo achieves its objective and them some. The basic design of the case as such seems to be a rehash of the time tested Centurion lineup from CM. The Sileo however has enough number of minor modifications/additions to make it stand out as being significantly different from the rest in the same range.
On the face of it, if it were to receive a slight correction in pricing, the Sileo makes for a very good recommendation to anyone in search of an affordable, silent mid-tower case.
