Makes me consider microATX

The only use I can find for this case is if you wanted TWO (TWO!!!) x16 slots on mATX - you go i7-980x, and get the new ASUS board. Otherwise, there's no reason for that much cooling on mATX.

Edit: I would've wished for the FT-03 to be HPTX (UP-Orientation!) so I can get rid of my PC-P80 (Lian-Li)... I love the FT-02, and wish I could mod it - alas, I haven't the money.

Something like the maximus III gene.

Even with only one vid card you can have a very long single card with this case without having a massive case.

Steel body with aluminum shell. :(

Silverstone, what have you done with the standard the original FT01 set? At least the FT02 was a monster at air cooling, despite its drawbacks.

I like the external look, but not my thing internally. It seems too "clumsy" and disordered in the case.

With the development time in this case and their track record I'm hoping it works out. I'm not a huge fan of needing a slim slot loading optical though. A regular sized would have been nice to try to squeeze in.
