SilverStone Lucid LD03

Das Lucid Series LD03-AF ist letztlich zwar nicht das kleinste und edelste SFF-Gehäuse, es überzeugt aber als nutzerfreundliches Mini-ITX-Modell mit eigenständiger, vor allem gläserner Optik und mit seinem fairen Preis.

The Silverstone LD03-AF improves upon the original LD03 with better airflow for potent GPUs and updated I/O while retaining the same excellent use of space for large air coolers and the ability to utilize liquid AIOs.

The changes that the Silverstone LD03-AF brings over the original LD03 aren’t really enough to change the conclusion I came to in my review of the LD03. I still like the case, but none of the changes really took it to the next level. The LD03-AF is the better choice if you want to use a more powerful graphics card or need that USB type C port, but I personally prefer the cleaner look of the original.

The Silverstone Lucid LD03 continues the brand's pursuit to offer compact cases for all types of users. The Lucid series tends to utilize plenty of glass, as was already apparent with our review of the Lucid LD01 from before. From a design perspective, the LD03 is quite a bit more elaborate, so purists in favor of a clean, understated design may not like it as much. Instead, I would dare say the LD03 is much more in line with enthusiasts, which takes away from the overall focus of the Lucid family.
