The SilverStone FT05 certainly looks great with its brushed aluminum exterior and its abnormal doors, but how does it fare in terms of user experience?

Awesome! Thanks, Nick!

Yay! New video that doesn't start at 4AM PST. Thanks @nicklmg!

Wahhhh, no 4am release

This is such a cute little case. I like it.

 

I've been thinking of jumping on the super mini computer cases bandwagon...

 

Hadron is still smaller but this isn't half bad.

 

EDIT: Finished watching the video, God damnit Linus

3 am? Sounds good to me.

 

 

Also, I want one.

[CatCloud]

Hmm, only 500 rechargeable cycles....is that even enough?

As for the case, no thanks, looks like space is very limited.

YEAAAAAAAH

I'm wondering the same thing. That doesn't seem like much... I don't want to buy one of these every six months. Let me go look at other powerbanks... brb

At first I thought it was a cute case, then I realised those were double 180mm fans and not 140's on the bottom.

 

These chimney cases are starting to look really nice.

The case form factor is interesting, shame that the window spoils it.

Can anyone explain the advantage of cases like this? With the top closed off like that, it looks highly inconvenient to access your GPU/motherboard ports

I would say its more convenient. Normally my case is close to the wall and it makes the rear a bitch to access. This case would make it so much easier.

Worst window placement i've ever seen. The odd size of said window isn't helping it either.

[Kelamin]

No international shipping on the Cheero (lame) also now 49.99 on amazon. 

Case looks interesting but it looks like it could have been better thought out by SIlverstone (Window, PSU filter hole at the back). 

[KamiKatze]

Can you please send me the hardware that you use to showcase your cases BEFORE orgre testing them? I will send back some rocks with the equivalent weight to simulate the hardware.

[SalisburySteak]

This case has a really sexy interior and the 90 degree rotation has always intrigued me, but i agree with everybody else that the window could have been done much better.

[virtualTune]

@Lanoi must have written that opening

[Gormador]

This is really not a case I would use, even if I have to give credit to the clever (but ass looking in my opinion) gap at the bottom for the airflow.

 

I build a pc for a friend in a Define R4 a week ago, and it was the best. Really nice working with it, awesome cable management possibilities... I just wish CG manufacturers would find a way to place those 6-12 pins power connectors somewhere less visible from a side window. However, I realize that without a long-ass case, it would probably conflict with whatever there is between the MB and the front of the case... A shame, really. I'll grab the windows-less version ;-)

Also: first post. High everyone! Very please to finally join this awesome community :-)

Yes! Thanks for doing this review guys! Good to see other opinions on a case like mine. The RV05 does have the front light covered over, so that's an advantage to it. The only major gripes about the cases are the cable management could be larger, and the window is very reflective. I don't mind the positioning of it, I think it's perfectly positioned. The gap at the bottom I think really adds to the aesthetics, although there is a gap on the raven, it doesn't have the flat panel below it. So as it's on a carpet, I used a slate roof tile to act as a stand for it.

Also. YYEEEAAAAAAAHH!!!!!
