Introduction

I would like to thank SilverStone for supplying the review sample.


Silverstone always aims to reinvent the computer chassis and is one of the companies known for their willingness to go with unusual and unique designs. The Kublai KL04 - available with a window or solid side panel is just that as well, offering various features and design choices unique to a mid-tower case.

Special Features

• Super mini footprint design with no cables and vents on four sides
• Ample space for CPU cooling (78 mm in height)
• Elevated standoff for motherboard back side components
• Includes 140mm Air Penetrator fan and support entry level liquid cooling
• Support for two 2.5" SSD/hard drives and one 3.5" hard drive
• Mini-DTX / Mini-ITX motherboard & SFX PSU compatible
• Standard-length expansion cards support (10 inches)

Packaging

Silverstone packs the Fortress FT03 Mini in a small, compact cardboard box. It shows an image of both case variants in the front, with a short list of features, while the rear has a blow-up diagram of the chassis. You will find additional specifications and features on both side panels of the package.


Silverstone also adds a note that the user should read the manual, as the FT03 Mini is a unique product, unlike other cases out there. The enclosure is held in-place by two solid Styrofoam spacers and further protected by a plastic bag.

Contents

You will not receive too many extras with the case. Silverstone only includes a few zip ties, a bag of screws and a USB 3.0 to 2.0 adapter. A multi-language manual can also be found within the box.
