FT02 still the champ
How can regular cases compete?

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Matthew Phillips
The only good thing about this case in a performance perspective is the trio of 180mm induction fans.
I do wish the motherboard layout was more common though, vertical PCIe slots are the shit. No more graphics card sag.
Jacob Hughes
Some test suggest that vertical GPU did impact performance, in a bad way.
Use this instead.

A case where you assemble your pc, fill it with oil and then seal it. Oil is pumped into a radiator also built into the case and cooled via fans.
Jonathan Roberts
this is the 2011 model right? did they ever make a newer ver?
Ethan Gray
it only impacts performance because most vertical mounts tend to push the card against the case.
Ideally, you'd want a case that also mounts the motherboard horizontally. Plenty of choices for mitx and µatx cases but if you want full ATX, your only choice is the massive HAF XB

I dont know why this isnt the norm now, building around this design should have been a thing 5 years ago.
Camden Foster
not relevant to FT02 style vertical GPU. I'm talking inverted motherboard.
They didn't :(
Don't forget the Corsair Air 540 and 740 which is nicer finished and arguably looks better than the HAF, although not as obscure as the uncommon HAF XB and is just as dusty too. And I agree somewhat with a horizontal motherboard tray, but unfortunately that makes for an obscenely large footprint in ATX.

Is there anything that compares Fanwise thats newer?
