Fail on the format of the post...

Nice case.

But the PSU placement is EXTREMELY irritating.

Not sure if want. I'm definitely looking to buy a new case next, though.

Off topic: Like this one?

On topic: Silverstone cases have always impressed me; I honestly don't understand why more manufacturers don't take on the rotated motherboard concept and work with physics (heat rises). If it had a bit more room inside( EATX compatibility, etc), it would be a contender against the HAFX for my next case.

I don't know how I feel about that case.

I still like the RV01.

Inside looks great. Outside, not so much. Make the FT02 cheaper, or come out with a FT03 that has the internals of this. I actualy like the psu placement, since it makes hiding cables much easier. large 1500w+ psu's might not fit, but those are really nothing but E-peen extenders for most people. A newer 80+gold 1200w might fit(antec high current pro?), and that would power almost any rig, even dual 6990s+1366 i7.
