My new Silverstone Fortress FT03B Warning Picture Heavy

xtremedetailz · 22 Feb 2011 at 12:51

Hey guys i got this on saturday along with my i7 2600k, P8P67M Pro along with my remaining 2 x 4GB Corsair 2000Mhz XMS3 and my GTX580.

All i can say really is the case itself has been very well thought out and the cooling for such a small case is second to none.

It managed to fit my old Thermalright Venomous X in without any issues at all and the GPU has a dedicated 120mm fan blowing directly on it.

Let me know what you think.

How hot does it run?

It looks bloody good to me.
Good job on the wires too.

gatecrasherlok · 22 Feb 2011 at 15:04

That build looks awesome matey.

R5GTT · 22 Feb 2011 at 15:10

Looks like a really neat case and nice build!

Shame I already built a mini itx machine with an SG05 because I would have considered this even though it is a bit bigger. Nice to be able to fit a full sized cooler in there.

It runs very cool,

khemist · 22 Feb 2011 at 15:48

Looks great, i'm thinking of doing the same using my GTX580 and venomous x also.

The only thing stopping me is i'm sure my bequiet psu will not fit and i'm waiting for better overclocking p67 boards.

Saying that i suppose i could stick my old HX620 in and get a fair few quid for my current psu... will probably do it as soon as more boards come out.

Not a huge fan of the case as i think they took a step backwards with the fortress series with this but awsome build m8.

This board will be getting replaced at some point, but tbh it seems really solid.

People have seen 5Ghz on these boards with no problems

I was looking at wrong review it seems.

I've just ordered mine also since i've only found two places stocking it since release in the case that i can't get hold of it when i want to.... FT02 will be sold to a friend.

Did you get black or silver ?

Congrats on the purchase

What about sandybridge now ?

khemist · 23 Feb 2011 at 00:37

Black as usual.

Are any of the fans air penetrator fans?, if not i will probably use my enermax clusters.

khemist · 23 Feb 2011 at 02:59

I will probably braid all the cables also even though they will only be seen in a couple of shots here like i did all my ft02 front connectors.

xtremedetailz · 23 Feb 2011 at 09:39

No i dont think they are just normal 120mm fans.

You cant see the front connectors as they go around the back.

RichBowman · 23 Feb 2011 at 11:01

Very nice - I've said before a couple of time, I really do like the look of this case!

really good job with the build too - actually looks a lot more that I've seen anyone else achieve so far - even Silverstone!

Enjoy!

looks great.

xtremedetailz · 23 Feb 2011 at 12:56

Cheers guys

Kosmiche · 23 Feb 2011 at 14:16

I half expected there to be cans of beer inside, it looks like a fridge.

Gepetto · 23 Feb 2011 at 17:21

Nice PSU.

Lovely build. :cool:

I really like that case, although I don't know if there is a huge advantage in switching SWMBO's machine from her V351B. I wouldn't get a 580 in the 351B though.

Krellor · 23 Feb 2011 at 17:30

Looks great, and very tidy inside for a small case. Those psu cables looked abit jammed in there tho.
