Interior (Continued)


Back panel faces the top of FT05


Up at the top of FT05 there is space for mounting the PSU. Units of up to 160mm can fit inside the case before they touch the HDD cage. There are also seven PCI expansion slot covers (ventilated) with standard screws – there are no thumbscrews in this region and there is allocation for adding in extra cooling with a 120mm fan.


Support for SSD installation on back of motherboard tray


Behind the motherboard tray, SilverStone has cleverly integrated support for two SSDs. Drives simply clip into the supplied brackets and then users can attach screws for better fitment.


Dedicated 3.5” drive cage


There is also accommodation for 3.5” too. A 3.5” (plastic) caddy sits below the PSU area and allows up to two drives to be installed – just like the SSD allocation, this is also tool-free but it’s advisable to apply screws for extra strength.


Two Air Penetrator 180mm fans


Located at the bottom of FT05 there are two Air Penetrator 180mm cooling fans which are configured to deliver positive pressure. Both fans can be plugged into the fan controller to allow them to operate at 600, 900 and 1200RPM. Air Penetrators are well-known for offering exceptional performance at low-noise and as such are ideal for pushing plenty of air across the system.


Magnetic dust filter can be easily removed


SilverStone provide a handy, detachable dust filter underneath these fans which has magnets to fix it into place.
