Silverstone ft02

id love too go for the fratual case it definatly ticks all the bells and whistles and then some and under 100 quid but it doesnt look like its future gpu friendly, if a 5870 just about squeezes in there theres no way a 5890 or X2 variant will fit, even a GT300 may not fit....

Still at under 200 quid not sure if its gonna be worth it....

If i can afford it, I may well get it.

Impressive but this looks like the same one and not the new revised one, looks about same amount of clearance space between the end of the mobo tray and 180mm fans, can clearly see this aint gonna work with the ati card let alone longer gt300 cards this january.

I do like these and I do want one, but... my 5870

The ft02 can fit the 5870 fine, the 5970 needs you to remove the fan grille to fit. Non reference coolers like the vapor x make the cards even shorter.

Agree that if it releases at the £200 mark then that's too much, more like £120-£140!

Anyone know when this is out.

JeffyB · 26 Nov 2009 at 15:18

Hopefully mid December.

HighlandeR · 26 Nov 2009 at 22:34

1 week before Xmas hell......

Im gonna bet on mid-late Jan if not early Feb

Clairvoyant · 26 Nov 2009 at 22:47

Hello Clairvoyant,

The FT02 just arrives at **** this week. I guess that **** will list them on their website in the coming days.
The only solution is to wait until they are presented on the website.

Thank you for your patience!

From Silverstone today.

The black non windowed version is listed now and on pre-order for £195. Might have to send ocuk a webnote to see if they are getting any.

Holy cow, that's a lot of notes! :eek:

Glad I bought the Fractal Design case now!

JeffyB · 27 Nov 2009 at 17:51

It is a lot and brings it into some stiff competition at that price.

So only a month to wait to see if a GT300 fits

Clairvoyant · 27 Nov 2009 at 19:13

WOW £195 is a bit pricey £50 (approx) more than the FT01.

Think I will pass at that price.

Flanno · 27 Nov 2009 at 22:52

I note its officially compatible with expansion cards 12 inches where the RV02 is officially only 10.5 inches. Good news so.

HighlandeR · 27 Nov 2009 at 23:38

nice..... looking forward to reviews on noise/cooling levels this may still be a life time case indeed.

JeffyB · 28 Nov 2009 at 20:10

I originally wanted the windowed version but am now thinking I would prefer it without. Having the window mounted on the outside is not as nice either.
