Silverstone have had their Fortress series out for some time now, yet this is the first time one has graced the pages of OC3D. Thankfully though it's not the first time we have seen a Silverstone chassis that utilises one of, if not the, very basic law of thermodynamics: heat rises. SO when designing this range of cases Silverstone decided to incorporate this very basic characteristic and have the cool air coming in the bottom and the warm air straight out the top. This did how ever bring with it some design issues, most noticeably the fact all the cables are now at the top rather than at the back of the case!The design for the FT03 was somewhat more complicated however. Silverstone decided they wanted to make a case with a much smaller footprint and build upwards, rather than back like they had with other chassis which were noticeably deeper than a normal case. Building upwards required some serious open minded designs and that's what we are here to look at today. Is this a step too far, or are Silverstone on to a radical winner?
