SilverStone [på engelska]

So do you have any news about FT05 to give us?

Still no news on the Fortress FT05 case?

I'd add somewhat more open exhaust on the back panel to that list aswell

Are there any plans on making a smaller version of the RVZ01? Like 60% of its size? I'm interested in making a (gaming) mini-ITX build, so full sized GPU, acceptable air flow, and some level of versatility is in order.

Has the design and features been finalized? Any renders or pictures of the final case available?

Hello,

Back in January I talked to the Silverstone rep at Overclock.net. He then told me that for the time being they hadn't produced any FT04S without the window panel cause of lack of demand. Is this still the case?

I guess the FT04S-W version is still available for purchase?

Im not really interested in the FT05. I was looking for a reverse ATX chassi in silver and the FT04S-W suits my needs. So you mean there are not a single seller in all of Europe that have any in stock that I can buy? Do I really need to order it from USA to get hold of one?

Hi SilverStone EU :: How thick aluminium is it in that new gorgeous looking case FT05 ?

Any news on when the SX500-LG will be available in Germany or rest of Europe?

I own and love the SG08. I am doing soon upgrading at the moment and plan to add some aftermarket cooling to an i7 3770k.
I was just wondering whether I can use your NT06-Pro cooler in the case with the already installed air penetrator fan only or if I need to add a new fan?
My other options seem to be different kinds of closed water coolers but that would take a lot of customization, right? Where would I put the radiators in this case?

Hello Silverstone,

I'm a proud owner of a FT02 B/W which houses my current build (I think it was featured on your Facebook a few years ago?).

It really is a premium case, but it's starting to show its age. As I'm planning a new build for 2015, and I'm also looking for a replacement for the FT02 as I'll probably end up selling my current machine as is. I was hoping for a new revision to take its place but sadly none has been announced/released.

I'm very much hoping that you are considering a revision or upgraded version to improve on this amazing case. Here is some feedback:

• The space behind the motherboard needs to be a few millimeters thicker. I'm running with sleeved cables and even with careful planning it is difficult to fit it all back there for a clean and organized build. A wider frame would be appreciated.

• A wider base frame would also mean a few extra things. The 120 mm top exhaust fan could be expanded to a 140 mm fan. There would be room for multiple SSD mounts behind the motherboard.

• The triple 180 mm AP fan construction/design is amazing, but it is inconvenient that the case needs to be opened for the dust filters to be accessed. An external filter solution would be much better. Also, even if this case is designed to be air-cooled, it would be nice to be able to fit a 360 or 540 mm radiator in the bottom without modification. This would mean a slightly taller case and potentially open up for E-ATX or larger motherboard builds.

• The 5.25" drive cage is not necessary. Very few people use a ODD today and as this isn't a case for water-cooling there needs not to be a slot for a potential reservoir. It could be cut out altogether, perhaps opening up for some interesting new features or simply more space for HDD cages.

• Which leads me to my next point: bungee-suspensions for HDDs to eliminate vibrations and noise. Not cages, but rather a pure rubber mounting mechanic that lets the HDD hang in a contraption rather than be mounted in place. If the ODD-bay is eliminated, surely 3-4 of these should be able to fit (with an optional cage as an accessory perhaps?).

• I've rarely used the top cover because it is (A) plastic and not at all on par with the rest of the chassis in my opinion and (B) because my cables don't fit under it. Running 4 monitors and a plethora of peripherals (printer, webcam, USB hub, external drive, DAC, etc) means the cables simply won't fit underneath. This should be addressed in a revision.

• The back dust-filter really should be magnetic.

• A metal shroud to cover the cables coming from the PSU would give a cleaner build.

• The fan controller should be improved. A PWM controlled solution that can connect to the motherboard would be preferred. A simple switch that sets the fan on either "High" or "Low" doesn't really belong in modern chassis.

• It would be nice to see the hot swap moved to the top of the case; a slot with a cover for a 2.5" drive (SSD) in the top/front of the case would be superb.

• Overhaul the cable routing holes. For example, it's very difficult to route the front I/O cables in a clean and structured matter (if they are located in the bottom right corner of the motherboard.

Ok, that turned into a rather long list. Don't get me wrong, I love the FT02 (and your other cases as well), but it's starting to show its age...
