Combining two of SilverStone's most distinctive computer chassis breakthroughs - the unibody construction of the Temjin TJ07, introduced in 2005, and the 90-degrees rotated motherboard mount of the RAVEN RV01 from 2008 - the Fortress FT02 advances both chassis construction and thermodynamics in a dynamic, streamlined design. With the Fortress FT02, SilverStone engineers have combined the rigidity of unibody construction with the unparalleled cooling layout of the RAVEN chassis, adding a hot-swappable hard drive cage and an acoustically padded interior for maximum versatility. The result is increased structural strength, increased storage capacity, and whisper-quiet operation.

Available in black and silver colors, its elegant outer shell is perfectly accentuated by the U-shaped unibody aluminum frame that not only provides unique styling, but also functional purpose. The bottom gap from the frame to the main body actually serves as the main air intake area for its three massive 180mm fans, making it even suitable for use on carpeted surfaces. For professionals and enthusiasts looking to build a silent workstation or gaming machine with maximum performance, there is no better than the SilverStone Fortress FT02.

Automotive-caliber 4.5mm Aluminum Unibody Frame Crafted from a solid extruded aluminum panel with automotive machinery, the Fortress FT02's main structure delivers more than twice the structural rigidity of average steel cases to practically eliminate vibration-induced noise. The form padded interior also absorbs noise for silent operation.
Revolutionary 90 Degree Motherboard Mounting Design With the revolutionary 90-degree motherboard mounting design, the Fortress FT02 delivers stack effect for natural heat convection and quick and convenient access top I/O ports. And it supports up to 11" wide ATX motherboard.
Superior Cooling Performance The Fortress FT02 comes preinstalled 3 x 180mm bottom fans and one 120mm top fan for unprecedented positive pressure and stack effect cooling. For flexibility, the Fortress FT02 supports advanced liquid cooling radiator mounting for extra cooling if necessary.
Hot-swappable Drive Cage Five tool-less button design for 5.25" drive bays and hot-swappable drive cage support (one CP05 adapter included) ensure quick installation and upgrade of 5.25" and 3.5" devices to save your time. 2.5” HDD or SSD is also supported at unique location.
Extra Large Motherboard Tray Cutout The extra large motherboard tray cutout leaves available space for CPU cooler backplates allowing for easy installation or removal of CPU coolers, without having to remove the motherboard.
Convenient I/O Front Panel The top-mounted I/O panel offers easy access to microphone, audio and two USB 2.0 ports.

N/A 4/20/2012 10:24:24 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Looks fantastic, Sturdy, and massive airflow. Filter design limiting dust intake. Cable management is awesome both internal power and external i/os Cons: Size, It claims it's a Mid tower. How ever it truly is a full tower but on it's side reducing over all Height. It's not really a con but it did catch me off guard upon receiving the unit. The power button is overly sensitive, it seems you can shut down your p.c. just by looking at it. O/A length requires a Powersupply with long cords. Other Thoughts: I would have given this beautiful case a 5 egg if it were not for the misconception of it being a Mid tower case. It truly is a full tower case that is just on it's side. It protrudes further out then my desk is deep. Ended up having to move where I normally have my pc to where I kept my sub-woofer so I could use my chair in my corner desk. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Gadam 2/7/2012 7:39:09 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Best Case Pros: 1. 90° Motherboard. This is amazing! The "back" of the case where all the wires plug in is actually at the top! It's hidden nicely below a removable mesh grate. There are three giant fans at the bottom of the case blowing straight up towards that mesh top. This orients all of your PCI cards (graphics cards) directly in line with the airflow for excellent cooling! Innovation lives! 2. This case has all sorts of premium features, like quick release HDD cages, screwless 5.25" drive bay mounting, and a removable back panel with tons of room for cables. 3. Solid build, aluminum construction. About 2% of the case is plastic, the rest is aluminum. This case is solid. 4. Beautiful, minimal design. I love that it's silver, since black is the new beige. I love that there is no tacky door on the front. The overall design is just smooth and nice. It's like a piece of furniture. Cons: 1. The side panels are not quick release. You have to pop off the top mesh grate to get at two thumb screws for each side panel. Not a problem if your build works, but my new PC has had tons of problems due to the mobo. 2. Odd shape. It's not the normal PC shape of tall, skinny, and not very long. This one is kinda squat, a bit wide, and very long. Check the measurements and make sure you have space. 3. Too big to reasonably transport. The solid design and unique shape make this not very good for LANs. 4. Only comes with one hot-swap HDD plug. All the quick release HDD cages are there, but only one has the requisite hot-swap plug they advertise. Newegg sells more for cheap, just search for CP05. Other Thoughts: This case just really pleased me. I needed a new permanent fixture for my entertainment system, one that would fit all sorts of premium gear and look great. This case delivers. I am most pleased by the 90° motherboard orientation, though. It's brilliant! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
