Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W Owners, Your thought's please!!!

[ChrisD.]

When is it out?

TBH I think I have my heart set on the FT02 now.

September according to another site.

I see there is another version of the rv03 coming out and they have sorted out the horrible gold colour on the front.

I've ended up going with the RV02W-EW Evolution since i couldn't source a silver ft02S-W.

Wow - first time i seen that. I am intrigued. Was this on the Silverstone site?

I don't like the looks of the raven much either and would rather have had the understated fortress but on the plus side it has the window on the right, rotated motherboard layout, AP fans and it's also white.

Just google SST-RV03B-WA.

 

[Robertnpmk]

you even went with a white one, you have to post pics of that build, sticking anything new inside or just your old setup?

 

[khemist]

Keeping all the parts i have now and just making in smart inside.




Just need to find a place with the white lamptron spectral bar in stock.

Did you get those Blue and black braided cables from Ebay?

Careful with them as......

I bought some of those last week and when I received them 1 of the braids was coming loose, annoying. Fortunately abit of black electrical tape l8tr and you cant even see the difference when its in the case. Defiantly going to buy the Alchemy cables for the 24 pin and 4 pin MOBO connections.

Going to post a pic when its all finished.

 

[khemist]

I did, they all seem to be fine though.. will get pics when it's done.

Has anybody here put lighting into your FT02? trying to think of the best way to possition some.

Im thinking a strip of LEDs at the front attached to the fans right underneath the window, I dont think a cathode will fit in there with the panel on (which was my original idea).

thanks.

I stuck one led strip just above the window and one just below it by the fans. Lights up the case really nicely without being overly bright.

About a 1/3 of the way down the page, not the best pics as the camera picks up a fair bit of glare. It doesn't look so bright in person.

Cheers mate, was a bit nervous as it was my first build but went smoothly in the end.

 

[Robertnpmk]

yeah looks good mate, do you mind if I steal your lighting idea?

Help yourself

 

[khemist]

I only had one uv cathode to use at the time



If you are using a white light i'm not sure if using it here might show up tiny scratches on your window or not... stick one at each end and see.

I'm confused by the hose that's running along teh bottom?
