Default Your Opinion on the TJ07

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about buying a SilverStone TJ07-BW for my upcoming build.

I'm planning to go with a typical Intel quad core system, SLI video cards, two hard drives, etc.

Does anyone here own this case that would like to give some pros/cons?

It's expensive, but I find the design irresistibly intelligent (the layout and cooling solution) and it looks so classy.

Any opinions?

Honestly,

If your gonna invest in that much money I recommend buying quality and a awesome case.

I recommend this.

Lian Li is the choice for quality builds and excellent cooling, the case has filters to help keep dust out and lots of nice features!

It looks liek a decent case but for that price its not worth it and you can get better solutions for alot less. Such as the Antec 900, or CM690, CMStacker, or my personal favorite the ROCKETFISH!

Are you going with Liquid Cooling? If you're not, why not just buy a $150 case and get liquid cooling. that will help keep your temps down. It's just me, but why spend that much money on just your case? I personally wouldn't get that case, but if you like it, I guess it would be fine.

If you want to see some great work done on the TJ07 here are a couple of work logs, you should be able to see the general breakdown from all of the photos. I was told the TJ07 was easily broken down as well but I ended up with the Cosmos S instead. I've heard nothing but good things about the TJ07 and I am still considering one down the road.

Sounds extremely expensive
and did you read the newegg review
apparently it vibrates a lot and makes unpleasant noise
but then gain I'm not sure if you are looking for a totaly silent build

I think that there are better cases out there for that price (or a lower one). I'm personally not a fan of the flashy cases others have mentioned, like the Antec 900 or CM690. I would recommend the Rocketfish or some other Lian Li products, like the V1000 or V1010.
