OK, i recently bought an Ft05, so here is my review.

Packaging:

Nothing special, in a box, Hard foam, in a cloth bag. Standard.

Looks:

Amazing, illl let my pictures speak for themselves.

Build Quality:

Nice, Full alumnum exteriror, Very good loking/feeling. More plastic than i would like, the top vent is plastic, the drive cage, the DVD cage.

The rest is amazing, no flex. PLastic used is of pretty good quality.

Noise dampaning foam is ubundant.

Cooling:

Tops out with my FX6300 and TPC 612, fans full, at 46 degrees prime95.

The build:

Cable management is tight, you will want a modualr PSU> I made it look OK.

Not a big fan (see what I did there?) of the case. Nice, clean build tho and I love the AP's you have in there.

Sometimes it's not convenient, it can cause an awful trail of cables out the top if you don't cable manage it, but nothing some tape or Velcro can't fix.

It does have it's uses when it comes to USB port access mind. No need to go fumbling round the back of the case when it's right there in an easy to see spot.

Meh you need a lot of tips for cable management. Make use of routing cables under the motherboard. Stuff like a 3pin fan cable, front panel connectors, audio front, sata cable (get the Silverstone CP11B). A fully modular PSU with a individually sleeved set would go great with this case, route the 24pin under the motherboard as well.

Do you use the motherboard for controlling your AP181's?

It's better that way though, having a pc on your desk close to the wall and if you have to plug/unplug a cable you might have to move the PC to plug/unplug a cable and a PC can be heavy. Not sure about you but I don't like moving my PC when its powered on, HDD going nuts whatever, so having the IO on top is perfect for me so I don't need to shut my PC down just to plug/unplug a cable.

Even if you don't like it, the 90° rotated MB makes it quite up tbh. Atleast a 3D view of your GPU's rather than just the plain boring backplate/pcb view. Standard ATX cases are quite boring tbh, just such a horrible design that has no benefits at all.

Yeah, non modular PSU, I had to shove all the cable's on top of hard drive.

Oh everything that could be behind the motherboard is. What you are seeing is: fan going to terrible header location on my mb

Wires from my 2 fan controllers I put on the top compartment.
