A Big Hello from Lian Li

[Lian Li Tech]

Yes, still monitored.

More room for cable management aside, what else did you find in the TJ08-E that you find lacking in Lian Li mATX cases? Or anything else you just look for in a mATX case?

Not to be all negative towards your other mATX cases, something I really appreciate is the ease of installing PSU, HDDs, ODDs. With the TJ08-E, something I don't like is the big mesh area in the front that inevitably ends up with a ring of dust, or at least the faint outline. The TJ08-E is very poor in this area. The easily removable front panel and dust filters of the PC90 are a much better look and setup. The inverted layout is okay, but it doesn't matter to me either way.

As far as what else I like with the TJ08-E, the top mounted PSU with an intake isolated from the system is also a great touch. The single large fan for cooling is also a great idea. Less noise than smaller, faster fans. Removable motherboard tray is always welcome. But that would really be it. The main thing is really is all the space behind the motherboard. As much as I love the PC90 and it's wonderful hard drive mounting system, not having a way to route the 24 pin, USB3, front panel cables, and 8pin cable just makes the whole thing a mess

Another thing, and I don't know if this is b/c of the thin aluminum, but there really aren't resonance issues with the TJ08-E that there can be with your smaller cases. Both the A05 and the A04 could be quite annoying with HDDs becoming quite loud. Appreciate you taking time to at least read my thoughts. I look forward to seeing what more your company has to offer!
