SilverStone FT05B-W Fortress Series ATX Computer Case - Black with Window
The SilverStone FT05B-W Fortress FT05 is a black ATX mid-tower computer case with a 90-degree rotated motherboard layout, aluminum wrap-around exterior, and a windowed side panel that maximizes airflow to the CPU and GPU while showcasing internal components.Overview
The SilverStone FT05B-W Fortress FT05 is a black ATX mid-tower chassis built around a 90-degree rotated motherboard layout. By eliminating the 5.25 inch optical bays used in earlier full-size Fortress and RAVEN chassis, SilverStone freed up interior space to prioritize CPU and GPU cooling, packing RAVEN-class thermal performance into roughly half the volume. The thick wrap-around aluminum exterior and tempered acrylic side window give the FT05B-W a distinctive stealth-black look.
