Default Silverstone Fortress FT01-BW- Holy Effing God I'm in love

I have stumbled upon what I consider the most beautiful case EVER made, with all do respect to Charles and Murdermod...

The Silverstone Fortress FT01-BW

I'm in complete awe over the quality and the sheer beauty, not to mention the price point. I think I found the case i've been looking for...
Its the TJ07, but smaller, with even more innovative ideas!!!! :bananafunky :

"More than two years after the introduction of the world’s first uni-body PC chassis, the SilverStone 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 with even more sleeker profile thanks to its smaller size. Comprised of modern touches such as quick release drive cages and dual 180mm fans, this case is easily the top choice for anyone looking to assemble a top of the line midsize system."

Um um um.... what are those two ATI cards in the second picture? The first picture are two 3870x2s or 4870x2s. But the second picture... card is much longer, the 8-pin and 6-pin are side by side and the fan looks much larger as well. Could this be a leak?

Also, freaking awsome case!

Nice case but I would like it more if it was a full tower.

I'd say its quite hard to go back to a mid size tower once you owned a full size tower..., atleast for me it is.
