Hello Silverstone Fortress FT03B.....Goodbye Lian-li V351B!

So after 6 months having the Lian-li V351B, I came across the Fortress FT03B. The reviews of the V351B were very positive however after finishing the build (with several mods to fit my H50) the case wasn't quite to my liking. Very awkward to work with, questionable air flow and tricky component locations I decided to change for the Silverstone Fortress FT03B. A great looking case with smaller foot print for a mATX setup.

I love this case everytime I see it. Gunna buy this and stick an old motherboard and continually add to it in time.


Lovely build! Looks nice

Edit: Just looking at the old case setup, nice case aswell
