Silverstone launched SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx) in Japan on October 8th. Along with SG08, TJ04 and GD07.

Mini-Itx

1X 140mm ap fan

189mm(W) x 397mm(H) x 235mm(D) ( 47mm taller and bit wider compare to a virtical SG07 222 mm (w) x 190 mm (h) x 350 mm (d))

Slot-loading ODD

3.5"x1 / 2.5"x2

USB 3.0

I would say this is more like a virtical version of SG05, with fancier shell, different ODD and panel port placement of course. Look at pic 3

140mm fan at the base, i love the idea of the upward cooling. Stick a 140mm RAD SR-1 be a nice cool system. Can also run the RAID0 on my SSD's with 1 3TB drive.

Unsure if it's ATX or SFX PSU

Have it on order anyway

It is definitely SFX psu. Do you know the max GPU length?

My Japanese sucks but

FT03 mini:
- 228mm video card length so 9''
- PSU limited to SFX
- No top exhaust fan (rely on psu fan?)

Cooling sounds bad. Unless there is a vent on the far side that we cannot see. I would have expected a vent on the same side as the PSU but I can see that getting rather warm.

You can see it and there is no vent along PSU side!
GFX/GPU is on the front of the case as well
