That this as positively as possible! biggrin.gif
Cons:
- Its too big
- WC capabilities are good but not enough to warrant the size.
- The HDD capabilities are limited with the inclusion of WC? I may be wrong!
- I cant judge anythying else without owning the case unfortunetly!

Pros:
- Lots of pros good work

I think it's a really silly case. It's almost as big as the PS07. 9.8" x 10.6" x 14.1" (WHD, and 15.9" high with the handles, going off the specs on bitfenix page) compared to 8.27" x 14.73" x 15.75" in the mATX PS07. I just feel like there's a whole lot of wasted space, which is the exact opposite of what SFF is all about. Now it has the huge advantage of looking great, but I've always bought function over form or I wouldn't be in SFF.


On an unrelated note, I think my PSU has some terrible coil whine. What causes it? How do I get rid of it? Could heat be an issue, since my CPU vents into it and gets incredibly hot?

Following that, my stock i5-750 is getting up into 90C running games. Is that normal or did I get a crappy mount? I feel like that's highly likely considering how much I fumbled around with those damned push pins.

It's an excellent product but there is one thing that's a dealbreaker for me. Unlike the Cubitek Mini-Tank, one of the HDD cages have to come out with a long GPU in. The layouts for both are otherwise quite similar, except for the lack of built in watercooling at the top for the Mini-Tank. But it should be quite easy to modify the top panel of the Mini-Tank to accommodate a 240 radiator, which is what I plan to do.

Hey Guys, been lurking this thread for a while, and have decided to downsize from this inane phantom to something more LAN-able. I would love to have a case around the size of the TJ08-E (so I can keep the NH-D14). I would just straight up buy the TJ08-E, but I've heard terrible things about the AP181 fan noise. Any suggestions on this case or other similarly sized cases that can house an NH-D14 would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks smile.gif

Grab a SST-PS07 instead of the TJ08-E smile.gif

It is similar but with 2 x 120mm fans in the front.

The front is made of plastic, but it looks good and it's functional.

Hmm. I noticed silverstone does make different series of the fan like the FN and FM. Have you read any reviews that they make any noise ?
