During this CES, SilverStone presented two new computer cases that the company will be releasing this year.
The FT03-Mini, which will arrive on the market in March, is a smaller version of the FT03 that was released during the CES 2011. It features aluminum panels and a steel frame, and supports only Mini-ITX motherboards. Due to its reduced size, it only supports SFX12V power supplies. It also only supports slim optical drives, and has one internal 3.5” bay and two internal 2.5” bays. It comes with a 140 mm fan inside (SilverStone AP141 “Air Perpetrator”) installed at its bottom panel. In this computer case, the motherboard is installed with its rear panel facing up.
