Review on πŸ’» SilverStone Fortress Z FTZ01S: Premium Aluminum Mini-ITX/DTX SFX Computer Case with PCI-E Riser & Custom Low Profile Fans by Chase Hosea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

a good case, but did not justify my perhaps lofty intentions.

I have been using this case for 2 years now. first thing. I built this case as a high performance gaming/CNC programming machine. Pre-owned first gen Ryzen with GTX 1080, 2 x 2TB SSD drives in Raid 0 for Game Drive, 500GB m.2 NVME OS drive and 3TB spare drive. Good. This case was great to insert in terms of ultra small Itx cases. But you still have to think ahead. Well done Silverstone. There are also 2x 2.5" drive bays and one 3.5" drive bay, cool. People seem to have forgotten how big games are these days. I hate moving things. Poorly. The power button broke within the first month of ownership. Which ended up being a good thing as the thermals were so bad I skipped the sidebar (which dropped the GPU temp by 18Β°F). I just turned everything on by connecting the knife blade to the power connectors like a savage. Conclusion. for medium and low level playground equipment. I would still recommend such a case. To install the APU. it's too big for what you could walk. For gaming and business applications based on the "back your cake and eat it too” principle. He didn't justify himself and I will replace him soon. Hope this helps future buyers.
