Even though it looks like it can fit, can it work with the FT03? It's not listed in Performance PC's compat list.

What's wrong with the M4GZ's USB3? Haven't had any problems with mine.
Yes, it's compatible. Like I said in a previous post, I got one earlier this week and it's in my FT03 now. Before buying one from SilverStone, I showed them the one from PPCs and they said it's the same thing as the one I got from them (SilverStone).
It was long enough to route through the back (I've got a Gene-Z also)? Not for the one I received from pc-performance... Though the original was long enough. I guess I'll scrape off that gunk and use the original HD Audio Cable.It was long enough for my board (Maximus IV Gene-Z), but SilverStone included an extension anyway when I asked if the HD audio cable would be long enough.
I´am planning on buying the FT03 and replace all the stock fans.
Got my eye on the noiseblocker 120mm fan.
It comes with rubber `connectors´ instead of screws for silence purposes obviously.
Does anyone have experience with these things and the FT03? Do they connect properly?
I`am thinking about using a Thermalright HR-02 as a passive cooler for an Core i5 2500k
Since the fan obove the optical drive blows air towards the tower and the exhaust fan in top of the case is very close to the cooler due to the `off-center´ design of the HR-02, I figured that this would be sufficient cooling. I won´t be attaching another fan to the tower itself. I´am nog going to overclock right now, just want to build a silent machine for now.
Good or bad idea?
Question to anyone, who have more than one SSD in FT03 - what adapter did you use for mounting SSD in the hard drive position ? Because of the special screws, most 3,5=>2,5" adapters needs special screws, which interfere with the length needed for the hard drive mounts in FT03.
Thanks for help.
Filter, What are you using for cooling with the 2x GTX580?
I went with 2x6970 but havent decided on H70 for CPU
H60 @4.6ghz. And stock cooling on the 580s
I replaced all fans with gentle typhoons ap 15's
So finally got mine complete. Here's a couple pics..
I got my ft03 built done in april with an HR02 cooling a core i7 2600k overclocked at 4100mhz. I replaced all the stock coolers. My choice were three 120mm BeQuiet silent wings PWM which are very quiet and seam effective. They have silicon sticks to easily attach to the cooler chassis frame. I think its what u mean with rubber.
If u decide to use that fan above the drive, u can only set the HR02 in one direction, else it won't fit. It will also be right next to that PCIe 16/3 slot (theres an 5mm gap between card and cooler).
Be sure to take low profile RAM like Gskill ripjaws, because my Corsair Vengeane were too long for that massive HR02
I may be posting some pics if i get the time later on.
Ahh btw. the temps on my i7 2600k are ok. On idle ~35° on full load its 60-65° depending on room temps.
