2012-07-18
hey what's everybody welcome back to Tekra tomorrow elric Faris here now what are we doing here today on second tomorrow well today we're going to be doing an unboxing and first look an overview of a new case from the people over at Silverstone this is there ft 0 3 mini now this thing's basically like their big fortress tower but it's a mini tower so it's gonna have lots of features if you guys don't know Silverstone they're the guys a little snowflake logo it may make lots of great cases and fans so with that said let's hop in and let's take a look at this new ft 0 3 mini alright folks let's check it out like all in boxes everything we're going to start out with the box you guys to see us as USB 3.0 which means probably going to have the connectors in here and a little cable that goes to your motherboard it's the fortress series ft 0 3 mini says 2.5 millimeter thick anodized aluminum outer shell a removable top cover top-mounted buttons compatible with sfx power supplies and capacity for 13.5 hard drive or 2 2.5 drives supports for graphics cards up to 9.5 inches long not quite the 10-inch lady pleaser that were you stabbing around here but hey that's still cool rotate it 90 degree motherboard mounting which is cool to me straight up just like some of the other ones we've seen so we saw the front of the box here's a side of the box not much to that this tells the different languages the ones I had a chance of talking about and these other ones that are just basically symbols or what I call the w2f languages you know I can't read that when I can't read that one that one that one or that one I'm sure they're less people who can but me I can go touch espaƱol frenzies italiano laughter that'll be like earlier but la route / but it does they pump around show you a couple pictures of it here's the introduction if you guys want to take a look real quick i'll lock on the screen here so you guys can see about this and read this I won't read it off to you guys tell me you hate that so I'll let you read it I'll hold on here long enough to see you guys to see it but you can see down here's the model numbers here's the material the type of motherboards that it takes how many drive bays cooling system the i/o ports the type of power supply and the expansion card it's all right here so if you guys need to know that just make your screen bear so you can check that out so let's go ahead and start unboxing it I'm going to take my trusty knife I won't even gives me a sound effects sale just click the thing out you guys are getting tired of the same old joke so i won't use them i won't throw anything at the cameraman today either so we'll just take it a little easy open the box up nice and gently be two much problems if I don't even have to probably stand up for this one at all I'll be good to go to move forward when it keep safety first toss the knife out all right then so here we go pull it out you guys the styrofoam just take this like this and Kalani completely we have it I'll just go ahead and set the box off the side over here starting off the bat we can see we have the silver stone fortress series ft 0 1 mini manual it's the mini manual it should be smaller than their man it's a mini manual I'm just kidding here are the screws connection for your USB and the USB 3.0 header in case you only have those type of connections on your motherboard most motherboards these days actually have this type of connection though nothing else there backpedal round since I got it this way we'll just start out on the bottom this time so right here in the bottom of it we can see there's a fan that's in here pull that bad boy off you can see the blue colored fan right on the bottom feet all rubberize slap this little bit way back in there you hear the clipping as I do it easy to go so actually things really like to so a lot of the cases I get are so happy to carry that I can't do anything so now let's jump it up and let's just check it out I'll do some turns with its you guys can just see how elegant it is it's very elegant and simple on its outside and spin it once you guys can see the side spin it again going to spin it again okay go ahead i'm going to move it up here remove this plastic cover at the top here here's where some of your connections are and what they said this case the motherboard mounts vertically so you have the motherboard coming up and down instead of being sideways so your rear IO is going to be right here here goes your on and off buttons your USB 3.0 your microphone your headset all right there here's two slots right here for your video cards so you can see you can fit one single car in there so if you had a single 690 you'd be able to stick that bad boy in here without a problem at all so let's go ahead and move the front to magnetic so all you do is just pop back on this magnetically seals and holds on there very nice ergonomic design very easy to come off and then we'll move inside let's take a look at the interior oh you take this little bit apart disassemble it piece by piece kind of crazy look at this the whole thing just simply comes apart very elegant please every side this is you once actually kind of got some luck so every panel comes up except for the one the motherboard goes on so Rodney round is going to be pissed it's not and remove the mode where tray but everything else in the system comes completely apart pop it up here's the internal to your cables for everything right here including like I said a USB 3.1 plug into most motherboards here's where your hard drive will go so if you're going to use a standard HDD it fit right there if you're going to use the Sato you'll need to use an adapter here's the motherboard tray goes in and the power supply goes right over here now you guys can see this is very small so you're not going to be able to fit any of the normal type power supplies now take that into mind before you go building the system because there's only going to fit the very smaller power supplies and that might be something you want to take into consideration but beyond that I mean you guys can see this little fortress ft 0 3 mini it's very small it's very elegant all the parts are magnetic thing just pops together Pop's apart very simply so that's it folks you guys saw it here the fortress ft 0 3 this is a really nice small case if you guys are looking for something just stick in a corner this might be something you're looking for also go at the board mounts like this instead of mounting like this makes it very tricky I think to put the cabling it's a little bit different but when you get it all up and you put the covers on it it does look pretty elegant as well so thanks for watching decking tomorrow we'll see you guys back here with another video shortly
