COMPUTEX 2010 - Silverstone Unveils The Fortress FT03, Temjin TJ11 and Raven RV03 Cases

[tifacola]

in this video they show two slot loading bays but on their site show only one. I'd like to put a card reader in that second bay rather than a hard drive since I'm going SSD. Anyone know if that will be possible?

[MachineMezziah]

Sounds like the audio was taken from a secret SETI recording.

[seppomuppit]

All this so you don't have to deal with cords?

[blazikblitz]

Looks kind of like the design of the G4 Cube except with better cooling methods

[somewhoisnothere]

augh, sound quality

[Futurelooksdotcom]

@somewhoisnothere You'll want to check out our CES 2011 video with Silverstone with all the updated announcements. Tony speaks very quietly so the sound quality of the new video in a private room is much better.

[ZixacunX]

how is that hard drive going to cooldown is my question

[chrisliu07]

I got this case and who could tell me where can I get that Blu-Ray slide load dirve!? I've been searching all over the web even couldn't find it on Silverstonetek

[Futurelooksdotcom]

@chrisliu07 I've only seen the slot load DVD/CD drives personally. Silverstone has those listed on their site under products/storage/optical storage. Would be nice to have though. I'm sure they have a kit in the works but it sucks to not not have it available right now.

[appleloveTK]

I love this case, gonna buy it for next build :]

[chrisliu07]

Thx for sharing. Tony is pretty handsome~ GJ~

[girass]

He sounds like an Asian Arnold Schwarzenegger and WOW, that TJ11 is freaking insane, quad extreme rad, all screw's, vertical removable mobo! You'll probably need a forklift to move it fully loaded though, in a few years, nerds are gonna be more buff than tools are! also the sound was fine, i could hear everything he said, I don't know what people are whinging about, its not exactly a recording studio in there, i cant imagine what they were expecting..?

[Futurelooksdotcom]

@girass The audio was challenging. It was very noisy and Tony has a VERY soft voice as you'll see in our CES 2011 video of the new cases that will be hitting the market soon. We are taking measures to ensure better audio when we head to Taipei again this year.

If you are interested in what Silverstone is doing right now, you have to see our Silverstone video from the CES 2011 playlist on our channel. Check it out!

[GotGTA]

Personally the 90 degree mobo mount puts me off big time, I'll stick with the TJ07. Still a good enough looking case.

[HDaviator]

@GotGTA Why? Heat rises. Its the best air cooling design you can get.

[naive1987]

so the 90 degree turn on all hardware will it affect the flow when using watercooling?

[HDaviator]

@naive1987

Nope. Like always make sure that the Pump is below the reservoir, but other than that it will have no effect.

[0nkelD0kt0r]

that case is maybe the biggest stock case ever but it has just 7 pci slots? wtf

[brickthegoalie]

@0nkelD0kt0r This video has a pre-production version of the case. The case that you'll buy at retail has 9 expansion slots (plus ventilation underneath so that you can still fit quad-SLI type set-ups into it) rather than the 7 seen in this video (as they said in the video that they might add more to the production version (8:10)

[DexterAUT]

should get in stock this month at most of the retailers

[dgZdream]

need some more new info if they changed the Raven 03 because it still sounds like a downgrade from a slightly modded RV02.

[dipzyv]

anyone know when the TJ11 is coming out?

[stxlez]

@dipzyv its already listed on the silverstone website. yesterday it wasnt :)

maybe itll be out in a month or so.

[ablahblah54]

RV03, hah, it's the RV01 perfected man. The RV02 didn't cut it, the RV03 sure does.

[getnhigh247]

The TJ11 Sucks. TJ07/09 Way better and cheaper to. It looks like there was some major quality cutback on the TJ11.

[Macsimus007]

@getnhigh247 And you base that completely foolish statement on?

[getnhigh247]

@Macsimus007 Facts, because it is made out of different materiel. Doesn't make it a bad case as it has room for plenty of rad configurations. Just saying i wouldn't buy it as i don't like what the case is made out of.

[thetshirtblog]

Does the FT03 contain an opyical drive bay?

[Futurelooksdotcom]

@thetshirtblog You'll need to add your own thin slot load drive. But that might change after we see an updated version at CES in January. Stay tuned.

[thetshirtblog]

@Futurelooksdotcom Thanks. The slot loading drively is very nicely integrated, which is why I didn't notice it in the first place. Would love to see this kind of setup integrated into more cases in the future.

[KalmahRocks]

@Futurelooksdotcom It looks as ugly as your mother

[Esanthus]

Raven RV03 is so sexy o.o

[dipzyv]

Will i be able to put 3-way SLI in the FT03 :D?

[GotenSSJ1]

Make a model without a window and release for early January please!

[ballistics]

trash bin

[RemnantsOfBeauty]

looks like a Bin.... but i'll reserve judgment till i see more of it, as i love the other fortress cases

[soulcalibur22]

i wish they made a silverstone fotress 3 JUST how 2 was but with the smaller inside of RAVEN 3 ... they should call the other one CUBE C001 or somthing that makes me mad.

[boredgunner]

@soulcalibur22 - I just wish they made the RV03 less ugly. The top should just be like the RV02.

[tzillian7]

wow, its gonna fit a 560 at the bottom, thats insane. my next case for sure. anyone know if it will fit 5970's? looks like it may be a tight fit there.

[boredgunner]

@tzillian7 Yes. It will be tight but they will fit. They fit in the FT02/RV02, you'd just have to remove the fan grills on the bottom 180mm fans but the TJ11 doesn't have these since it has the AP181s by default.

[ablahblah54]

LOVE this thing's design. Best of both worlds, EATX, tons of 5 1/4 bays without sacrificing HDD slots, easy access mobo cooler backplate cutout, looks, and Air Penetrators! I am DEFINITELY upgrading my RV01 to this little guy when it comes out!

[buckamoona]

lol wtf those hardrives are in random places

[bahraini83]

I bet Tony is pissed now., he wasted all that energy talking about the cases and then the audio sucks big time. Thumbs up if you agree!

[Futurelooksdotcom]

@bahraini83 We're sorry about the audio quality on the noisy show floor. I'm sure we can learn something from the quality of your videos so we can improve for next time.

[boredgunner]

TJ11 = best case I've ever seen

[imsogood]

ft03 doesnt seem to have any 5.25 inch drive bays

[ilikeyourpantstoo]

The background noise is horrible seriously. ..truly!!

[utubeb14]

ft03 is cool concept but not practical

[Jallandhara]

@utubeb14 You really don't know what practical means, do you.

[DeonicV]

The FT03 seems like an nice idea, if your going for a small, light computer. Great job on that one. However the RV03 seems like its not even an upgrade from the RV02&FT02.

New fans, oh great.. NOT just buy new ones.

New hard drive location.. overated use externals and 2TB hard drives if your so desperate, you shouldnt be making a sever out of the rv02 or the 03 version

Eatx, well cant take that one away from them.

A smaller overall case, guess that might make the one person buying it happy.

[DeonicV]

What I would say is the only factor that might make this case great is if it has a low price tag, (And by buying new fans I ment for the RV02 or FT02). TJ11 seems great thought.

[lil0egy0kid]

is that thing aluminum?

It's beautiful

[overclockjames]

I don't like the idea of mounting fans on the floor. The FT03 is sucking in all that dust and dirt right into your PC. Yes I know they have filter grills but you'll be cleaning those every day. The TJ11 is a bit better but still puts all of those fans at the bottom of the case blowing over a radiator. Do you know how hard it is to get dust out of a radiator? I think these cases are designed very poorly.

[shadowku]

@overclockjames

I have the FT02 where the fans are on the bottom and dust doesn't really get in there. It's very similar to the RV03. The filters work well and I don't have to clean them that often. I think the design is one of the best I have ever seen. With the motherboard turned sideways all the hot air goes up as it naturally does.

[TheCaanHU]

RV02 and FT02 looks good, but the RV03 and FT03 looks too plastic!

[shinzenkai14]

Clean on the out side ...But Guess what Piece of Sht in the inside~

[mat967]

the raven 3 have some interesting design like the power supply and the HDD placement, but it look horrible...I like the rv01 so much more. the tj11 look like the ultimate case even if its only a prototype. I like the SSD placement...cant wait ti put a giant rad in it :P

[tuggray]

the FT03 is kinda ugly, but the raven RV03 O_O

I like the RV-02 ^_^ but i might buy air prentrators to replace the stock fans.

[nolla7]

thats so plastic and gay

[Dean129012]

what motherboard is that in the TJ11 because there is a pci slot space in-between the graphic cards which i have never seen before.

[BDtechnical]

I love that TJ11

[UberPanzer666]

hope they make a smaller version of the tj11, a mid tower, or a remake of the ft01, the ft03 looks like something apple would make. the raven 3 looks too wide imo

[backpackcamera]

LOOK AT THE size of that rad holy shit.

[iheartcomps]

@backpackcamera

its slightly smaller then my dick xD

[bhs0]

One of the guys from these videos speaks good English but that was too much, they had to make the background noise tune in better.

[dnesdinesh]

2nd cas is teh best...raven 03

[diablo234]

raven 3 looks like a smaller modified version of the raven 1, which i own and love hehe.

[Lionheart1188]

They look great!

[Eukalypto]

Can the GTX560 fit inside the case?

[xhimiz14]

unique product, but useless(the first case). anyone that can afford a system like that, doesn/t care about space, i think the case is like a hybrid between a ITX and A mid tower, so for me useless. they just extended a ITX case and they just worked for nothing.

[xlegionsx]

TJ11. Wow I can't wait. looks wonderful

[XxJohnCenaxX]

wont the hard drives overheat imo on the RV-03 and FT-03??

[66Metalforlife66]

The background noise is horrible seriously.

[Futurelooksdotcom]

@66Metalforlife66 Sorry. You shoulda heard it before. You couldn't hear Tony at all.
