Review on πŸ–₯️ Silverstone FT03B Black Micro ATX Tower Case with 3x 120mm Fans, USB 3.0, Multiple Drive Bays by Mayrando Clark

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quiet, minimalist, but cramped.

I was looking for a small, quiet, minimalistic building. This option perfectly met all the requirements. Structurally, the sidewalls were high quality and stiff. The motherboard's internal mounting plate was a little wobbly, especially after removing the hard drive tray and thin DVD drive tray. The top plastic grille is a little flimsy and doesn't fit perfectly when fully seated. The cover on the top ports seems pretty solid, although I have it on my desk where I can't see the top of the case, I've occasionally hit the reset button while trying to fiddle with the ports. The reflective plastic trim was quite nice. hmm for me I turned off the glowing logo on the front panel immediately after turning it on, but left the hard drive LED indicator, which also glows through the logo. It would be great to see if I could come up with a new design and fit it into this space. Installation was a bit painful. I had a Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5. I found that there was very little room on the right side (top of the board) to connect the CPU and fan power connectors and to connect SATA cables from underneath the rear mounted SSDs. be a bit awkward. Overall, the power cable routing was a bit fiddly, since the space on the back is somewhat limited, especially with built-in SSDs. The rotated motherboard and huge fans blowing upwards let me get by with a pretty quiet fan speed most of the time. I paired this case with a Noctua NH-D15 which barely fits but allows me to keep the CPU fan at minimum speed at all times.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Add something
