From a SilverStone press release:

Designed for cooling enthusiasts, the ALTA F2 is part of SilverStone’s flagship series and features the iconic SilverStone styling stack effect design seen in the RAVEN and FORTRESS series. With a 90° rotated motherboard layout and three Air Penetrator 184i PRO fans at the bottom for intake, the ALTA F2 optimizes bottom-to-top directional airflow using natural convection thermodynamics.

An innovative feature of the ALTA F2 is the inclusion of four rear-facing PCI slots at an 11.3° forward tilt. This unique design allows for the installation of graphics cards of all lengths while enhancing airflow efficiency. Furthermore, the proximity of the GPU and CPU ensures separate air intakes for each component, preventing heat overlap.

Packed with numerous features tailored to PC cooling enthusiasts, the ALTA F2 offers an exceptional cooling performance and a seamless building experience. Exploring each feature in detail reveals the meticulous thought and engineering behind this super tower.
