HardwareHeaven and Metku have posted a review of the brand new SilverStone Temjin TJ08-E, a compact Micro-ATX case with a massive 180mm fan.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • HardwareHeaven:

    "Starting with the build quality of the SilverStone TJ08-E we have a chassis which impresses from the moment it is unboxed. The case feels solid and well built and the finish applied by SilverStone was flawless. A high quality fan is provided as standard and each of the case sections fit well together, even though there are several removable elements present. The pre-installed foam in the hard drive bays was a nice touch.

    In terms of design the case continues to impress. We like the brushed finish on the front which looks great mixed with the mesh panel and the inclusion of an easily removable front filter and fan speed switch are ideal. Inside the case is designed to be very flexible, supporting large coolers, multiple motherboard types and extended length graphics cards. Having a separate compartment for the PSU is also a design decision we appreciated."

  • Metku:

    "Under the classy exterior of the TJ08-E turned out to be an overall good internal design. The main problems we had with the case were all related to the hardware limitations, and these can be avoided by choosing suitable hardware to go into the case. With the right components the installation is easy thanks to the removable motherboard tray and good cable management system, the case is sturdy enough and looks very nice. It also offers front panel USB3.0-connectivity and a fan controller. The only minus besides the hardware limitations is the fan controller, as its low-setting could make the fan turn even slower to reduce the noise. Then again, the fan uses a standard 3-pin connector, so it's easy enough to simply hook it to the motherboards' integrated fan controller."

This is a fantastic little case for those who want a compact enclosure but who don't want many of their usual shortcomings.
