Introduction

I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop carries quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown substantially in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works.


CaseKing has kindly sent us the Silverstone Fortress in black. The enclosure features the same type of uni-body construction as the much larger TJ07 but manages to stay within the confines of a very compact mid-tower chassis. Silverstone offers the case in black or silver, with the choice of a solid side panel or a windowed one.
