SilverStone Fortress FT03B Tower mATX case black (Accessories)

Customer Review

This case looks at first glance chic, but only at first and second glance.
Let's start with the positive: It looks beautiful (a matter of taste ...)
Now for the negative:
The fans supplied are loud. So you have 3 x 12cm fan buy new (in my case Noiseblocker).
The ventilation concept is interesting: a 12er fan blowing from the bottom sloping towards the CPU cooler, which is supported by an additional case fan 12er. The exhaust air is then transported by a third 12 fan from the chassis. The result is a so-called 'chimney effect'. Unfortunately, the graphics card was left ventilation technically ignore this concept. In operation showed that my otherwise very quiet, not audible even under load under load suddenly disturbing, indeed almost loud was in Silverstone FT03 ASUS HD6870 Direct-Cu (tested in my second PC). One must still say that all ports are included in this housing concept above, the exhaust air slots that promotes course again in addition the noise level (in addition to the clearly louder graphics card).

To get to the terminals, the housing cover must be removed. This is completely made of plastic. This cover is only clipped to the housing, the back with two plastic clips, front with plastic heels. Already in the factory setting of the cover was not sitting properly fixed, particularly the front plastic hoes be slack after a short time, and as you have to remove this cover for every little thing to get to the terminals, this will eventually just 'it' are. Well, not so bad you might think, were it not for the housing side walls. These are namely not screwed, but hooked laterally from above and then pushed down. Screws are not used. Now if you side touches the housing to transport it, then yes, then these side walls to be backed up by this ridiculously loose plastic lid. Who's believes.
Yes, the case has a magnetic dust filter. The magnets are very weak, even the smallest vibration can lead to that he simply drops still downwards. Not really bad, but could be solved better.
Fatal weighs the insertion slot for the slim DVD drive. The optical Slimlaufwerk is inserted from the front, this expresses a poorly deburred clamp the drive down so it 'fixed' sits. Then, the drive can be secured with two mini-screws. This shaft has scratched my brand new slim drive on top of the housing on the left side deep, through the whole length.
We come to the power supply: The power supply is mounted below and bolted, then the left hand in the housing power cord to the power supply is connected. Too bad if I firmly screw the adapter to the anticipated location and then connect the power cord located in the housing, as is the power clutch, therefore, I now want to mount the housing wall, this pushes against the power clutch and is pushed outward, a bulge is created , Remedy gives you when you push the power supply into the case more deeply, yet the power supply must be fitted loosely, because in order to build in it deeper in the housing, remove the screw of the power supply to the housing needs.
Thus, and since then the fun stops for me. This case is not thought through for me and immature in many ways. More What hobbyist in my opinion. It has robbed me a lot of nerves and is therefore sent today on Amazon back.
