Silverstone addresses FT01 issues

Following Bit Tech's recent review of the Silverstone Fortress FT01, the company has informed them that it has corrected some of the build quality issues that were highlighted during the review.
During our review of Silverstone’s FT01 uni-body aluminium case, we noticed a couple of rather concerning build quality problems, most notable of which was the fact that the included fans rubbed audibly against the case’s removable dust filters.

However, we’re happy to report that our review sample was one of the first off of the production line and Silverstone has since caught the problem, which was caused by incorrectly selected cooling fans.

Silverstone has worked to correct the issue in all retail versions of the FT01, replacing the case’s 180mm fans with revised models in which the fan blades are recessed deeper into the fan casing, eliminating the interference with the dust filters.
