Silverstone Fortress FT05 Chassis Launching This Month

The Silverstone Fortress range offers up some of the coolest PC chassis around; their mixture of premium build quality and bold looks makes them stand out from the crowd, without the often extreme styling we see in most high-end gaming chassis, such as Silverstones own Raven RV05.

Aluminum wrap-around exterior with classic SilverStone Fortress styling
Revolutionary 90 degree motherboard mounting from RAVEN RV01
Breakthrough 5.25 inch bay-free design for unprecedented power to size ratio
Two Air Penetrator fans included for great performance and quietness
Positive air pressure design for excellent cooling/quietness and dust-prevention
Foam padded interior for advanced noise absorption
Quick-release latch for fast side panel removal
Exterior access to main filter for easy maintenance
Support for various liquid cooling radiator sizes

The FT05 certainly stands out from the crowd with its 90 degree rotated interior and monolithic front panel design. It is a very well equipped chassis, with support for ATX motherboards, long graphics cards, plenty of storage, water cooling radiators and more, but in a much smaller form factor than you would expect. Silverstone have achieved this by removing the 5.25″ drive bays and using a vertically mounted slim ODD drive tray, which can be accessed from a slot loading section in the front of the chassis. The motherboard tray is rotated 90 degree, allowing for bottom-to-top airflow, which is provided by two powerful Air Penetrator fans in the base of the chassis.

The chassis packs all the features you would expect from a high-end chassis, including fan speed controllers, tool-less panels, externally removable air filters, sound absorbing material pre-installed, cable routing and more.

The FT05 is a flagship, ultra-high quality chassis and as such it commands a premium price tag; Silverstone recommend an end-user price of $186,36 (US); not cheap, but if its anything like the previous Fortress chassis products, it’ll be worth every penny.

Thank you Silverstone for providing us with this information.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
