Is that an SSD mounted on the hinged top cover of the PT13? I guess you'll need long-ish cables for the drive to provide enough play so you can lift open the lid (at least part way so you can then unplug them) for access to the motherboard?
That's what it looks like, yes. Given that the PT13 is a thin mini-ITX case, I'd just install an mSATA drive and not bother with attaching one to the cover. You could probably install a cable long enough to open the case enough to detach/attach the SATA cable instead of having one long enough to open it the whole way.
I don't know why they keep with the weird locking front panel design. It'd be better if it were just a latch of some kind. And plastic fascia -- yuck. They come close though.

PT13, a thin mini-ITX case, ML05 and ML04.
The Thin mITX form factor makes this case a no go for me. Requires integrated DC power with the motherboard....
Why wouldn't they just create a small case that fits the standard m-ITX FF?
Here's another link with more info.

Totally agree! I can understand if you might want to keep toddlers from pushing buttons,..but I really don't think there's huge demand to hide the front panel under lock and key.
I am thoroughly unimpressed! I like Silverstone,...but I will look elsewhere before I buy one of these new cases.
I know a place that has nicer cases
Ok, I will stop now.

He's not on the top of my list, I live in the UK! I can't remember the site but I tried to order a case from a US based company and they wanted $200 shipping!

Hi mate, can you upload some pictures and let us know what you think about the case.? Don't understand the comments here, I really do like the ML04 since I am a fan of simplicity
