SilverStone are without a doubt one of the most well known chassis manufacturers on the market and have made a name designing some of the highest quality enthusiast cases available today. We recently had a look at their SG04B chassis which was built to the usual high standards we would expect from them.

Today we’re going to be looking at the FT01 chassis which is a return to a more traditional design implementation – simple yet elegant. This mid-tower chassis incorporates design cues from the immensely popular TJ07 chassis and is home to a number of quality features such as sound proofing, dust filters and tool-less mechanisms.

I love my FT01BW. Only complaint is w/ full-sized mobos that have the sata ports facing to the side, it is very hard to get the cables on. In order to get 2 cables to fit that are directly on top of each other, I had to take a heatgun to my SATA cables and put a nice stiff 90 degree bend it the cable.

Very nice chassis. I have considered buying one, but amunable to find a vender selling them. Of course I "could" buy one online. Nice review BTW.
