Silverstone FT02 discontinued????

[PapaCrazy]

Anyone know the official status of the FT02? It's discontinued on Amazon and New Egg. I heard they were developing a new AP-181(2?) fan that could hit 2000rpm instead of 1200rpm but I don't know if they planned to put it into the FT02, or if that's the reason it has vanished. I know aluminum production costs have gone up but I'm no business man, just a big FT02 fan. I own one already, but I'd be disappointed that I couldn't use it on other people's builds, and on the selfish side I'm worried about getting replacement parts. If its EOL I might preemptively ask for a new acrylic window, a non-window side door if I decide to go windowless in the future, and touch-up paint... if that's possible. Anyone with knowledge about what's going on?

They've just updated it to include USB 3.0 on the front panel. Thus they have updated part numbers, so instead of searching for Fortress SST-FT02B, you'll have to look for SST-FT02B-USB3.0.

Thank you, sir. My paranoid fit is now receding.
