SilverStone Fortress SST-FT01B-WWhat's the first thing you look at when presented with a new computer chassis? Since we're not talking about a video card, then it's probably not going to be a picture of a drop-dead gorgeous girl brandishing an edged weapon. All the same, I think we judge it on appearances; first impressions count. Interestingly enough, just like humans, there are no two Mid-Tower Computer cases that are exactly alike. So every time we see a new one, whether we've got a beauty of our own at home or not, we evaluate it, rate it, and imagine what our system would like, installed inside. Who knew we had such a rich and heartwarming relationship with a series of empty, rectangular, metal boxes. SilverStone has a long history of designing and building fantastic looking products, and the Fortress Series is no exception, especially the SST-FT01B-W model. Benchmark Reviews has investigated a few SilverStone products up to now, and we've always come away impressed by their good looks, thoughtful design, and premium build quality. Things are definitely looking up; let's take it home and see what it can do with this premium computer case. 
So, after we get over the fact that it's a stunning looker, we take a peek inside to find out what it's really made of. The FT01BW makes this easy, with its large, clear, side window and black interior finish. The Fortress Series FT01 models impress with uni-body construction, acoustic foam on the sleek side panels, a couple of 180mm slow speed fans, and modular drive bays for the HDDs. Things are definitely looking up; let's take it home and see what it can do. SilverStone Fortress FeaturesMore than two years after the introduction of the world's first uni-body PC chassis, the SilverStone Temjin TJ07, a new product line was created to extend this unique construction further into other applications. The first model for this line is the Fortress FT01, which sports the same super strong uni-body frame as its predecessor but with a sleeker profile thanks to its smaller size. Designed with positive air pressure concept, it enables better cooling performance than traditional chassis but also helps to prevent dust from penetrating into the chassis by use of filters on intake fans and forcing air out of the chassis through unfiltered vents and gaps. Comprised of modern touches such as quick release drive cages and dual 180mm fans, this case is easily the top choice for anyone looking to assemble a top of the line midsize system. Special Features
