Now revamped (and renamed) from when we last saw it at CeBIT 2008, a special-edition model was on show here in Taipei.
The gold-coloured Fortress model had a huge 180mm fan right at the front, sucking in air whilst spinning at a maximum 800rpm.
Featuring easy access to the hard drives located directly in the fan's flow, the cages are removable if you need to house extra-long graphics cards
Silver and black models will be available soon enough, priced at around £120 for what felt like a quality full-sized aluminium chassis. Note that retail versions will be either black or silver; the lovely-looking gold is a show-only colour.
The Fortress packs in a second 180mm fan, again for intake purposes, at the very top, and cooling is further enhanced by the also-supplied fan on the rear.
We liked SilverStone's Temjin series when it was launched a while back, and the Fortress line seeks to bolster the mid-priced collection.
