Product Description

More than two years after the introduction of the world’s first uni-body PC chassis, the Temjin TJ07, a new product line was created to extend this unique construction further into other applications. The first model for this line is the Fortress FT01, which sports the same super strong uni-body frame as its predecessor but even more sleeker profile thanks to its smaller size. Designed positive air pressure concept, it enables better cooling performance than traditional chassis but also helps to prevent dust from penetrating into the chassis by use of filters on intake fans and forcing air out of the chassis through unfiltered vents and gaps. Comprised of modern touches such as quick release drive cages and dual 180mm fans, this is easily the top choice for anyone looking to assemble a top of the line midsize system.

  • Positive air pressure design optimizes cooling performance

Awesome a few flaws
 
Review Date: October 7, 2009
Reviewer: BusyNerd, Los Angeles, CA
Let me start by saying this is an awesome mid-sized . However, there are a few flaws. I'm gonna keep it short but sweet:

Pros: Plenty, I won't go into details, but here's a quick list: Compact, easy to assemble/use, outstanding airflow capabilities, positive airflow, dust shields, heat absorption material on the panels, as well as the clear panels so you can keep an eye on your water coolers (if applicable), plenty of rom bays and well as 7 hard drive bays!

Cons (hoping will read it and make the corrections on future models):

- A little tight, if you're an overclocker, and size is not an issue, I hear there's a full size version of the Fortress available. Look for it. I could have used a little more space, but it was sufficient for what I needed it for. Not really 's fault, but my fault for not looking to see if there's a larger size. Just letting you other guys know in you're thinking of which size to go . If size is not an issue, go the bigger one. But this one still rocks!

- CP05 hot swapable SATA 2 adapters. One came the , but just as a teaser. I didn't care much for it because I did not need hot swapable drives, but when it came to cable management to make the cables in the back neat, it became a nightmare without these things. I kinda wish I had 5 more for all 6 drives. Went online to search for it and they do sell them, however the ones on the market now are straight connectors and not the 90 degree angled one that came the . What a tease! I called and they said they don't have nor do they make one that came the . Bummer!

- Hard drive brackets not tool-less! "Why, oh why?!? They could have come up a better design for this!" -- my exact thoughts while I was putting in the 24 screws (4 for each of my drives) for my 6 drive setup.

- 5.25 drive bays, quick lock/release mechanism, nice! But the contruction needed work. It didn't line up correctly a 3rd party fan control unit, so I had to switch it out and use their brand. Also, their instructions didn't mention the locking hooks on the back , so I was fumbling it for a little bit till I figured it out.

Overall, awesome product and I still give it 5 stars. Just wish the little stuff mentioned above were done better. Hope this helps someone. And if anyone knows where to get the CP05 the 90 degree connector, like the one that came the , please let me know!!!! Share!
