The fact that there's a door turns me off. Aside from the low noise and stellar cooling, one of the things I love about the FT02 is the fact that there's no door. That said, I guess I only use the DVD drive about once every couple of weeks (or less, thanks Steam) and I'm sure Silverstone aren't dumb enough to put the USB ports or fan controls behind the door, are they?
Still as an owner (and fanboy) of the FT02, I'm going to have to take a look.
On another note I wouldn't mind something that looks a little bit different. Still needs to remain classy and reserved, but a little bit of silver trim on the front or something can't hurt can it (as long as it's the same material as the rest of the case)?
Dustin, honestly - next time you have to comment something about cases - and especially during a show - dont even think about posting something without pictures included. I dont care if your pictures are even in another dimension. Informing us about a new product that IS on display during CES and not having any pictures to show it, its annoying beyond belief.
Based on the photos of the FT04 elsewhere online it's nothing like the FT-02 and little different then most other cases layout wise save the motherboard is flipped so the cpu is at the bottom and the pcie slots are at the top. It also looks to use plastic instead of aluminum

Now could we just get the FT02 with USB 3, new mesh and new fans?
