SilverStone's aluminium pc case looks the part, but is it worth the largely inflated pricetag?

SilverStone shipped us one of their FT01 cases last month, but we've been ever so busy with magaziney things that we've not had a chance to look at it - until now.

Constructed from aluminium in 3mm-6mm thickness, this case comes with a window and a very nice black anodising job.

The price is something that is quite disappointing though, costing more than three times the amount it did when it was released in Australia - just check the thread in our forums for a confirmation.

Price notwithstanding, we've taken some pics of this case to let you have a look at this case. Keep in mind that the full review and our opinion of this case will be in Issue 99. Click on that gallery and get looking!

H3VIW8 Feb 3, 2009 11:25 PM	yeah those jacks look hard to get at, @ $100au it was a good buy, but 300 hundy for a generic looking case, sorry no deal.
Truckasauras Feb 4, 2009 9:10 AM	Funny because I instantly thought the USB jacks etc. look like a pain if you're plugging in anything like a USB stick too.
2SHY Feb 4, 2009 9:36 AM	I'll stick with my Lian Li Case thank you very much.
strifus Feb 5, 2009 1:35 AM	What I dont get about these case makes, whichever one, is that the make tiny mistakes like that USB jack for example. I mean who in the right minds would do something like that. "ooo, I think Ill use that to plug anything in except a USB stick....so ill put a sloping panel there"...stupid.
