More than two years after the introduction of the world’s first uni-body PC chassis, the SilverStone Temjin TJ07, a new product line was created to extend this unique construction further into other applications. Let’s see what “uni-body” stands for. The main structure for these cabinets is crafted from a single solid extruded aluminum panel using a process never seen before in PC cases. In fact, generally the panel is arched precisely on two sides with automotive-caliber press machines to create the top, front, and bottom sides of the chassis. The end result is an aluminum chassis frame with more than twice the structural rigidity over average steel cases, helping to practically eliminate vibration-induced noise. Thanks to this process, SilverStone engineers was freed to place more large fans at strategic positions to significantly improve cooling while keeping noise to a minimum. The first model for the Fortress line is the FT01, which sports the same super strong uni-body frame as its predecessor but with even more sleeker profile thanks to its smaller size. Designed for positive air pressure, it enables better cooling performance than traditional chassis. It helps to prevent dust from penetrating into the chassis using filters on the intake fans and forcing air out of the chassis through unfiltered vents and gaps. Filled with innovative solutions such as quick release drive cages and dual 180mm fans, this case is easily the top choice for anyone looking to assemble a top of the line midsize system.
