Silverstone Fortress FT-03 and Raven 3
Oh man, I just ordered and payed for an FT-02 two days ago
But it doesn't seem to be an improved sequel, it's a different thing altogether! Much like the others in the Fortress and Raven series

And Raven 3 - looks rather Anime
Uses the new 180mm fans, running at a lower RPM than the Raven 2

The RV03 is...less than dignified.
But I really like the FT03. I think it's the most clever Micro ATX case I've seen since the SG03. And unlike the SGO3/04, it looks like it has a chance of alleviating the cooling problems that most Micro ATX designs tend to magnify.
I suspect I'll be getting one of these when it's available.

Re: Silverstone Fortress FT-03 and Raven 3
The new Raven could be expected. It's obviously targeted at a different crowd than other SilverStone products. I would be surprised if it was not flashy.
But the FT03 I don't get, at all. I could see them putting the PSU and drives opposite the motherboard, and creating a cube with every hot component still getting its own cool air intake from the bottom. Instead they went with a design that stacks heat, and even added some small fans. Plus the ugly white plastic parts. WTF?

Heh. It's a compact thing, more a Fortrette than a Fortress.
As for the Raven 3 - quite creative, putting the psu up front and stashing the HD's behind the mb. Great concepts. But the bling . . .

Well, I like the direction Silverstone's designers are taking with this generation of cases, but to go along with the crowd here, Yes, the RV03 looks a bit... garish, to say the least.
Regarding the FT03 however, I'm smitten. I'll be purchasing one in the next few weeks.

Re: Silverstone Fortress FT-03 and Raven 3
The FT03 is something new and I really appreciate Silverstone for having the balls to try something new like that! Dunno how well it works in real life, and the hot-swap stuff is there mainly to add cost, but either way, it's good to see something new on the markets.
The RV03 on the other hand? Yeah.. The layout is fine, but the bezels are just tacky.
