FTZ01 AVALIBLE

spwath

Finely, the FTZ01 is avalible purchase, and at a great price of 130$.

It is the exact same as the RVZ01 Linus reviewed highly, but, it has a wonderful sandblasted aluminum exterior

Looks nice, but the naming scheme NEEDS to be fixed.

It's still a bit confusing IMO. I'd rather it be normal words + letters/numbers like Arc Midi R2 for example.

Im kinda a silverstone fan-boy (that pun that i overuse)

RVZ = Nice anti-fingerprint rubberized finish, however it is shaped like something that fell off the Batmobile

FTZ = Fix the shape, however, now make it fingerprint-soaking aluminium!!!

IMO this isn't worth it. The RVZ01 is very similar, and at $50 less. I guess some people will still get this, but I think most people will go for the rvz01.

I think the aluminum is well worth the extra money.

Hasn't this been available for a few months now? I've seen it a couple times on Newegg.

Right but considering the fingerprints comments as well as the lower price, not such a bad thing.

 

Btw sorry to steal Silverstone's thunder but another, even better option is now reviewed with glorious hardware cannucks b-roll too:

biggest draw back for me is there is no slim blu ray slot so I can replace my HTPC

 

otherwise, the 202 is beautiful and would have been a definite purchase for me if it werent for the lack of dvd drive

mount an external one on top xD

 

or better yet shove an external one in a drawer or hide it somewhere and just run a long USB cable to it...

Weird.  Consoles are still around, and in mass quantities.
