Yes I did. And I'm glad I did because I bought that case 7 years ago, and its on my 3rd PC build.
Aftermarket coolers are for faggets. The stock one is fine, and not even the loudest fan.

Also, the FT02 is alright. Great air cooling, but, the fact that the top is plastic and doesn't match the aluminum well, nor does the steel side panels, really irks me. The drive cage should also be removable for watercooling. As well as quad 120mm mounts on the bottom, since the actual air opening under the 180mm fans aren't really much larger than a 120mm radiator.

>>58729774
Its an Opteron build.

Mushkin makes some good SSDs

Wire mangement in that case is fine. There is a inch of tucking space behidn the mobo panel

>>58729824

That's actually better, technically. Not only is the inlets at the top, like they should be (though for AIO's it's not a huge concern) but it's getting the freshest air.

Plenty of much better, quieter, options for much cheaper.

>>58729927
In my room you could often see the mismatching. The case is showing it's age is all. An FT02_2 or something of the sorts, perhaps fixing what I mentioned before, and maybe reverting to just one or two 5.25" bays, would be quite a nice option. Or they could even follow the tempered glass meme if they wanted, but, Silverstone seems to be the only manufacturer not doing it.

>>58729963
Do those fans suck in, or blow out?

>>58729969
>quieter, options for much cheaper.
I cant hear the CPU fan over the hum of my 4x HDs, or the louder GPU fan.

my buddy bought the same case at the same time as I did, and another 3 years later. aside from a few small differences they are identical in material.

>>58729995
They're likely pulling air in, and the case fans exhausting the hot air in the case.

I had an FT02 (>>58729830) for a long time. I switched to an In Win 901, which was much better quality interior and exterior, and looked better. I then switched to an NCase M1 (>>58729931). I then switched to a Phanteks Evolv ATX TG. (>>58729792, >>58728667)

All of these cases were significantly cheaper, and much better quality, aethetic, and had relatively good performance. While all also being easier to handle/work with, with the exception of the 901's rear I/O panel, which was slightly more cumbersome than the FT02 thanks to the 901's screw design. If they updated the FT02 like I said I'd like it to be, I'd consider switching back. But my next case will be a Lian Li, as I miss the feel of the NCase but need/want a larger chassis for my E-ATX board.

>>58730016
this is retarded. radiator air should always blow out.

at least its maintaining positive air pressure

>>58730060
I'm the type of person that spends good money on a case, and keeps it for a decade.

I'm sure there are better cases our right now, but the FT02 serves me well.
Its fucking quiet a shit, has built in sound insulation all over.

Built quality is honestly irrelevant, something you only deal when you assemble the thing.

Are there better cases than mine, sure. But I have no reason to switch. The FT looks good, has excellent cooling, is quiet, and looks good. Did I mention that its quiet, and looks good? Cause those are the 98% factors in a case for me. I'm not a window fag, so I dont care whats inside. I do good wire management regardless.

>>58730186
Tried it with literal opposite flow and its the same. Actually a few degrees warmer under load. Care to explain your reasoning?

>>58730496
A lot of this depends on a ton of reasons.
main two reasons. You are warming up your intake air, and lowering your radiators cooling potential as its being kept inside a warm PC case.
As far as trying to maintain positive air pressure, its mainly about keeping shit clean. If its negative, dust gets sucked in through every single crevices, and crack. If its positive, dust only collects at the fans, easier to clean.

>>58730496
Other poster doesn't know what he's talking about. There are pros and cons to both, and it also depends what all you're cooling with the radiator.

If:
-You're only cooling the CPU with the radiator, then go ahead and use it as an intake so it gets the coolest air. It won't raise case temps by that much.

-You're only cooling the GPU with the radiator, you're generally better off setting it as exhaust, since GPUs dump 2-3x the amount of heat as a CPU, and it will feed warm air into the CPU cooler and case temps will be higher.

-Both CPU and GPU are cooled by a radiator, exhaust is better here. The CPU and GPU will be dumping all their heat through the rad, so with the rad as exhaust case temps will be marginally higher than ambient.

>>58730650
Finally someone else who knows their shit.

tl;dr:
There's nothing wrong with Anon's cooling in regards to airflow.
