A full aluminum body will raise the price of this little monster. It would be great though. Also, you can easily drill holes for a fan at the bottom. What's so fun about this case if you can't mod it a little?

I think it is perfect the way it is. Making it aluminium would kill most of the appeal for me, because the price would likely be over $200 just like those really nice lian li m-atx cases that were just released. The price on this case is amazing, and it looks really well put together and thought out. I seriously want this case..

The only thing that I'm really worried about with this case is my psu. It said on their website that the absolute maximum length for a psu in this case is 180mm, and my psu is exactly that length. I'm scarred that it might not fit, or I might just have to get an external dvd drive.

...so far im sticking with my mini p180 ...it has better cooling then this (Its a bit big & heavy though thats what I dont like about it)
-The 3.5 hole isnt that bad, I personally like it where its at.
-The dust filter on top is the only thing I dont like about it. It makes no point. It even says in the manual if you have a psu with a fan to have it oriented down. So the filter is completely pointless. I emailed silverstone about that, still havent gotten a response.
-After owning a Lian Li (coming from an A04B) I would rather have a steel body, aluminum resonates sound to much.
-Cooling is probably better than your mini P unless you have some high intake fans on that thing. I dont think you realize that the intake is a 130 cfm. The only one that looks like it might be neglected is the top gpu if you have 2, I will find out soon enough though.

It will fit!

I know this because it's in the Silverstone product Manual. I'll get up the image when I'm on my computer!
Product Manual It's on page 24 dude.

It's a very tricky fit, but it should just make it!

For $109 Australian, I don't want them to change anything! Except maybe the PSU fan grill on the top other than that it looks great and is very well thought out for the price.

It will fit. The part where you said you went from Seasonic to Corsair made me sad. Corsair is a great company but the power supplies are just rebrands of mostly seasonics.

Good case, except that a GPU in the upper slots will choke?

Yup. Basically, you should only run a GPU in the two middle or bottom slots. Preferably bottom. You could have the PSU face down so it pulls air from the air stream created by the 180mm in front. Then the GPU could get some but it'll still be hot. Watercooling isn't really an option here unless you want external enclosures or external rads.

I have 2 of those noctua 120mm intake fans, one fan blow directly to the gpu and one directly to the cpu (thats what i like about mini p180)
basicly im looking for smaller mini p180 that has no doors

i realize that intake is 130cfm (but thats also at 30-34db) thats louder & pushes less air then 2x120 fans

...I really like the tj08-e looks & size, cable management should be awesome too ...I only wish gpu cooling would be better :/ Heck i might even buy it

report back to us the dual gpu result
