SilverStone Temjin Series SST-TJ10B-USB3.0 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case is very roomy and easy to work on. The materials and workmanship are very high quality. Best of all, the plain black brushed aluminum gives the case a professional appearance lacking in so many of the ridiculously over-lit plastic cases that look like the front of a Bangkok brothel. I assure you, LED rope lighting will NOT help you "pown n00bs."

Cons: Would have been nice if there was some built-in cable management. Not really a problem, though, as there's so much room you can easily add cable ties and adhesive-backed cable tie holders.

Other Thoughts: I, like two other reviewers, was shorted the bag of screws that was supposed to go with it. Silverstone shipped them immediately, but charged me the overnight delivery cost. I wouldn't have been so keen on overnight delivery, but having a $4,000 build halted due to hard-to-find M3 x M3 motherboard standoffs is a bit frustrating.

I also had the same problem another user had with the hard drive bays being hard to re-seat after HDD installation. This problem is remedied by using the #6-32 flat head HDD screws that SHOULD have shipped with the case.

Pros: Sleek design

Minimalistic but at the same time sorta late 80s/2010 look to it.

Keeps my stuff cool. Cold case.

Easy to install stuff due to slide out parts, plenty of room (Except the top hard drive bay, see note below)

Cons: Like another person posted - my case DID NOT COME WITH THE INSTALL KIT - no motherboard risers, nothing. I dropped 3k to build a new PC and I have no screws (no prior desktop), all on Christmas break.

I e-mailed Silverstone and they remedied pretty much immediately but I was peeved.

The top hard drive bay is nearly impossible to slide back in if there's a hard drive in there, only tried it with one hard drive, tried all 3 different positions, can't slide that thing back in so I'm stuck only using the bottom hard drive bay.

Pros: Very cold case! it dropped my temperatures from my NZXT Alpha by 15 C, with the stock 2 fans and additional 120mm on top. Looks good.

Cons: No cable management and hard to rout cables to HDs. Loud as there is no insulation and the whole case just amplifies the fan sounds. It's heavy. The GPU is hard to remove unless you remove the MB tray. they drilled access hole for a narrow screw driver but unless you use a magnetic and narrow driver than it's hard to secure the GPU.

Other Thoughts: I always wanted a high end aluminum tower. This one was frustrating to deal with. Looks good but overall disappointing.

Pros: The front door on the TJ10-S was not magnetic, and the door uses gravity and/or design to stay closed. I approve of both door designs; I like the TJ10-B front door better. everything i reviewed positive for TJ10-S (build6) applys for the TJ10-B as well.

Cons: none. I only gave the TJ10-S 4 stars. assembly quality for the TJ10-B was noticably evident.

Other Thoughts: the black paint is worth any extra dollars. ESD (electro static d-somethin') is significantly less. i don't get zapped pressing the i/o switch for TJ10-B. i always touch a top corner of the TJ10-S case - receive my static shock - then press i/o switch.

Pros: Love this tower. Was very easy to work with and get everything installed. Lots of room, and was a pleasure to install.

Cons: The airflow might be a bit better, though partly that is because of where I keep it. And the directions both on the site, and in the box are pretty sad. If I didn't know what I was doing to begin with, it would have been a pain. I don't like that there aren't specific grooves for some of the wiring, especially around the harddrive area.

Other Thoughts: I love the pull out motherboard tray. Completely slides out, the entire back section, makes it really nice. The case LED/Power connectors were fine for my board (EVGA 790i ultra) though it was cutting it close.

Pros: Most awesome-ly designed case. I'm looking to watercool my new system and this case should work wonders.

Cons: Silverstone had accedentally left out the accessory box with the manual and mounting hardware. Newegg support spent about 5 days trying to figure out how to deal with the problem. By the time they gave up and told me to contact Silverstone I already had done so. Silverstone was great and shipped the missing hardware out to me quickly.

Other Thoughts: Now I sit and wait for my new motherboard as I had to RMA it back to Newegg. Maybe I'll have my new PC together in a couple more weeks... maybe.

Pros: this is a very nice case, i spent around 2 weeks just searching for a case and it came down to this and the cosmos. i got this because i liked how it looked better, and i'm glad i did. very easy and spacious case to work it, and a pretty good amount of space to rout cables to for good airflow.

Cons: kind of expensive, somewhat heavy fully loaded stock fans are a bit loud for my taste, but that was easy to fix by replacing them. also, the mid fan doesn't seem to bring in much air for some reason. i think it is most likely the grill directly in front of it though. definitely not factors to not buy this case though.

Other Thoughts: keeps my components cool :)

Pros: Spacious interior, removable mb tray, clean front panel look.

Cons: Front panel wires too short ... for a ~$300 case, why would Silverstone include wires that would barely reach the front edge of a standard ATX mb? The location of the front panel headers on the INTEL DX48BT2 necessitate extensions. Fit of left-side door (looking at front of case) very poor and requires finesse to put back in place. Right-side door removes and replaces easily. Aux panel (audio, USB, firewire, etc.) cables could have a cleaner routing option.

Other Thoughts: This is my second Silverstone case (previous LC03 purchase in 2004). Was very content with quality of first purchase so went back to SilverStone for next case but not as content wiht this purchase given the price.

Pros: Beautifully built and well engineered case. The fit and finish are like a BMW. The installation of my system in it was fairly easy and satisfying. Silverstone has incorporated many helpful features to make building a PC a pleasant and rewarding experience.

Cons: This case has provision for five fans. Silverstone provides two fans. For the price of the case and the type of system likely to be built in it, Silverstone should provide three additional fans.

Other Thoughts: System: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770, ASUS Premium/WiFi-AP @n, Arctic Freezer 7 Pro, Corsair Dominator TWIN3X2048-1800C7DF, 3 - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS, ASUS DVD-E616A3T, ASUS DRW-2014L1T, Sony MPF 920, A-Tech XM-28U, 2 - VisionTek Radeon HD3870, HT Omega Claro+Plus, SeaSonic M12 SS-700HM, SilverStone TJ10-B,Wiindows XP Professional

Pros: Big, extremely well-built. Power supply at bottom is great (box is no longer top-heavy). Nice removable cages for hard drives. Quality metalwork.

Cons: Important: The mb tray is MISSING a stand-off hole for Tyan S5397 board and for ASUS DSEB-D16/SAS (Tyan S2895 is OK). You'll have to improvise and rig some sort of stand-off (or drill & tap a new hole) as the missing hole is important.
Also cables for front power Switches & LED's aren't long enough for ASUS DSEB-D16/SAS (due to having to route around the mid-section fan).

Other Thoughts: For some reason feet were note screwedon tightly. Of four cases I bought - one was missing hardware. (luckily I had extra from other 3 boxes). In general, the mid-section fan is not that useful as most high-end graphics cards have their own cooling fans. The mid-section fan makes it difficult to route cables.
