How long is the warranty?

12 months I assume?

Got this reply:

Hello Chris,

Many thanks for your request.

Please kindly provide me with following information:
- copy of your invoice
- serial number of the chassis
- your shipping address including phone number

We will send you a new I/O port for replacement afterwards.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

Shame that I'm not home till later on this week. I might ask if they could send a USB3 header.

DampCat · 24 Apr 2012 at 01:14

They can, i asked them. They were going to charge me but I cant find the email telling me how much.

ChrisD. · 24 Apr 2012 at 08:14

Oh I know, but I wouldn't mind one for free.

I can always try.

Yes, we can send you USB 3.0 I/O port.

Just got to get the invoice and serial number of the case and send it to them. Happy days, good work Silverstone.

DampCat · 26 Apr 2012 at 07:02

For free?

ChrisD. · 27 Apr 2012 at 07:38

I assume so.

ChrisD. · 3 May 2012 at 12:23

USB3 IO port arrived today, will get round to fitting it over the weekend.

Top marks Silverstone.

Robertnpmk · 3 May 2012 at 13:02

Do you think they will do the same thing with my fan when it broke because I tried to re-install it when it was on?

Vidar · 3 May 2012 at 16:38

I wish I'd bought this case now but it came into stock only when I'd placed my order....

DampCat · 4 May 2012 at 21:04

It's beautiful. I can't imagine swapping it at all.

Well.. i said that about my P180.

Beautiful case. Goes well with the black Z77 Sabertooth mobo.

DampCat · 4 May 2012 at 21:52

Man that mobo is just crying for a water block on the CPU.

Thinking about going for a 3x180 bottom mounted rad sometime in the future. Only just got the Noctua, so I may have to wait until I next upgrade my system. Atleast the beige fans go with the beige accents on the board, I don't think it looks too bad.

DampCat · 4 May 2012 at 22:15

Nah looks ace how it is! That black heatcover would just look smashing with the corsair block on it though

Can I have mine back :rolleyes:

ChrisD. · 6 May 2012 at 18:05

USB 3 IO port fitted. I also disconnected the blue LED's as they annoy me at night.

Haha, do you regret it?

I owned one of these for 18 months and while being a very decent case I did feel the cable management couldve been better myself. It is however a very quiest case with brilliant air cooling, but very heavy and i found difficult to get the side panels on and off.

I agree with you on the cable management although it is pretty OKish compared to some other cases. However I don't feel it is very quiet with the fans on full and the side panels comes off and go on very easy on mine :confused:

How are you finding the motherboard temperatures in the FT02, thinking about fitting one in my FT02 as well

Cheers
