Still have the FT-02 from years ago so when it came time for an additional PC case there was no doubt which brand I would go with. My main reasons/expectations for buying another Silverstone are: 1) Build quality - no complaints. 2) Cooling - Two adjustable case fans. Probably enough, but I still installed a third one. 3) Quiet β The case fan speed control ranges from completely silent to bursting. You can hardly hear the whirring of the CPU and GPU fans under load. 4) Style - I don't like windows on my cases but other than that it's what I was looking for. Very thin but doesn't look cheap. Minimal ambient lighting is also welcome. 5) ergonomics. The only thing I don't like are the hard drive bays. A bit cumbersome at first, especially for the SSD underneath. I preferred the vertical motherboard layout on the FT-02, but I understand this is very rare, so I can't complain about the more traditional layout on this one. I was a bit skeptical that the rotating front door would block access, but since there are two external USB ports on the side, I hardly ever have to open the door. The door is good at blocking noise/light from inside the case.
