New Case Arrived!

[Judaeus Apella]

I ordered the Silverstone Temjin SST-TJ05-BT, and got it a few days ago. I have got to say, I am very pleased with this tower. Its very strong, heavy, and tough. Its like somoene made this thing out of an industrial tool box, then gave it a nice glossy paint job and added tons of gadgets. I can sit on this thing, and its like sitting on a rock, lol. It even comes with a lit blue LCD screen built into the front of the case (not taking up drive slots!) that monitors 3 temps, several fans, and displays the time.. I think. I havn't had a chance to mess with it yet. I took some shots with the digital camera I use as a Canon rep. This tower has so many features! Take a look!

Looks like the distorted twin of the Wavemaster... :p:
Anyway, GL with your case!

I'm glad you like that case... I think those things are butt ugly :sick:

You kidding me? Its a beautiful case! The front is well crafted and incorperates nice curves, instead of just being flat and plain. Its even given a high gloss paint job, and is build with steel instead of aluminum. Hell, even the drive slot plates are even metal. I think they made the front of it aluminum to so its easier to work with and doesn't weigh the case down. I sware this thing is almost 40 pounds. Im never going back to aluminum or plastic ever again. If you dropped this thing on my old aluminum case, it would probably not only crush it like a soda can, but stay completely in tact. LOL

The entire point of making a case out of aluminum is to _reduce_ weight. The stiffness of 18/16 gauge aluminum is plenty, and the weight savings allows one to operate on the case without needing to be a Worlds Strongest Man contender. Despite the obvious lesser weight of aluminum, it also conducts heat away from the system components better than a comparable steel case. This fact has been discussed innumerable times on hardware review sites. Bottom line: I'm glad you like it.

Congragulations, looks like a very well made case.
