How Small/Tight is the Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W

[RichR17]

Hello,

I am currently in the process of buying a new case for a PC. The Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W looks exactly what I am looking for (black, simple, no lights, good cable management options). But an issue I see with it is the room, espeically with the GPU.

So, can someone please tell me whether their Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W feels too tight/small for the components/cooling inside.

Based on the picture on this page with HD5970 installed space is fine http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=FT02
And based on this review it's biggest flaw is price http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/SilverStone-Fortress-FT02-Case-Review/901/7
It is an excellent case.

Lol, the Fortress is not small by any means.. What hardware do you wish to stash in to it btw..?

It's not small but it won't fit the new 6990 duel gpu card since the 5970 duel gpu barely fits.

I just wanna fit my new build - 2600K OC + After-market cooler, NVIDIA 570, maybe two later but not important atm.

Im just too worried i guess

That should fit fine!

You'll have no problem fitting your chosen hardware in the excellent FT02.

@Bigmac80: The 6990 and the 5970 are the same length at 12 inches - you'd need to take the fan filter off the fan in the FT02 but they will fit. However, I don't think the revised FT02 with Air Penetrator fans actually has those honeycomb fan covers - they're not needed.
