Hard drive cages have rubber gommets already, but it's some kind of hard rubber, i don't know, it just doesn't work right... Maybe someone won't hear anything, i'm extremely noise sensitive so it's a problem for me

Post some pics when it arrives

u just have to get someone to help you push it on. Trust me it works

I have one WD 1TB drive in my FT01 case and that's about the only component I can really hear during heavy loads, somewhat annoying. Am using the hot swap thing. I dont think its rubber gommets, feels more like plastic to me. I thought it was the drive that was broke but turns out it's just the case. I might try out the drive with a Scythe Himuro, see how that works out.

Here it is with the TRUE Black w/ Gentle Typhoon, i7 and GTX285. Cable management was pretty straightforward and modularity does help with this case, less cables for a tight sidepanel fit.

Mmmm just finish putting together my rig. You're right, the other side is very narrow. I had to rip out half the foam to get it to fit. Unfortunalty, the sound is still quite loud. I can hear my gpus clearly. The case is excellent quality though. Now I know what it means to have a good case.

Everything does run a few degrees hotter than open though, especially the GPUs. wonder if there is any way to fix that...

rocklobsta1109, can you add my name to the TJ07 list. I am adding a second system. It is silver BTW.
I found the Scythe Kama Bay adapters, and will have 2 of those to keep the case ice cold. http://www.xoxide.com/scythe-kama-ba...edium=Shopping
I am keeping the KL02B as well. I still want to be the only person with that case

You can add me to the list of owners I just got my Silverstone TJ07 METC Chassis By Coolit systems I am very impressed with with this case. I had to use a second Power supply and I did't know how I was going to get it in and there is room for 2. that is nice. they could have made it a bit more cable friendly. I am finding it hard to make the cables nice and clean.

I am already planning on cutting a few holes in the panel that separates the compartments. The Dremel might also do some work on the mobo tray. Then again, I might just see the case's size, and just not worry about it

Yeah, I am thinking about putting a couple of holes in the tray as well. ober all I am happy with the case. I would be happier if it was a tool less case. have to put in sooooooo many screws.

Edit: 1 note.. DO NOT try to tighten things down to tight as the aluminum is soft and strips out.
I striped 2 holes.

I may use some tool-less connectors from my KL02B for the ODD. The HHDs will just get screwed in.

Very good advice on the tightening of the screws. I am heavy handed when it comes to tightening, and I have busted a few CPU brackets because of it.
I would like to avoid having to tap out small threads on a case

Got the TJ07 yesterday. I spent 3 hours transferring my system.
I still need to work on the cable management. I might drill a hole in the mobo tray to help with that.
Also need to replace the 120mm fans. They barely blow any air at all. The 92mm rear fans are quite nice, on the other hand.
I was getting metal shavings from the mobo tray slides, so I put electrical tape to avoid that, and now the mobo tray slides in like it's on ice

Still waiting on my Kama bays to arrive. Until then I am keeping the side off the case.
