Don't think it's been posted but heres a brief video including the upcoming tj11. Looks like a ft02 tj07 hybrid

They could have gave us a better view of the damn thing

seconded, lol

how-ever, if what we did see is what the case is going to be like, and they make it in such a way that you can fit a 4.120 rad in the bottom, it will be a winner

Seems like they took the bits from raven2/F2 and made a better case from the 2 designs to me.

Cant tell which Nvidia card that is but looks like they left a lot more clearance ? perhaps someone at silverstone actually thought for 5 seconds and realized cards are getting longer/bigger so lets perhaps make more space for longer cards !

Why did they move the HDD bays to the bottom? Seems a bit pointless to have so many 5 1/4 bays.

Agreed i was hoping to see more of this case, it has a lot to live upto.

Silverstone appear to have learned from the clearance for the graphics cards, it looks like it offers a bigger area than the ft02 does.

Glad i held off on my ft02 purchase now, this could be the best of both air and watercooling, one of the reasons i didn't get the ft02 as i may go water down the line.

I've always liked the tj07, I'm really liking my FD, and I've also got my eye on the Lian Li PC7FNWX. Such hard choices

Looking at another card for crossfire in future, my FD will accomodate this, but temps may get a little roasty in here, not too sure though.

Looks interesting but it hard to judge with the rubish vid. I just hope the price is right (looking at you Lian-Li).

As nice as this is I which they would just revise the TJ07 with cable and backplate holes, USB3, make it about one or two 5.25" bays taller to better fit rads in the roof and extend the top mesh to fit a 120.3 without mods. Maybe even get some dust filters in there. One can dream.

Dear Silverstone

please stop using this new motherboard tray configuration in your cases.

it is silly.

your new case should be the same U bend style as a TJ07 but with the lower compartment mirrored and added to the top of the case as well.

radiator compartment > motherboard/drivebay compartment > radiator compartment

and some radiator mounts too please

three quad radiators would be sweet.

thanks

rjkoneill you'll be buying one of mick64's (xs) cases then when they are made

^^ That looks amazing!

JCBeastie · 29 May 2010 at 23:10

Disapointed, TJ-09/10 still looks leagues ahead in actual design and build quality. This just seems to be another Raven rehash. :|

Thanks for the link, an interesting read and also a very impressive case! I'll keeping tabs on this one, thank you!

Second chamber adds complexity and impedance to airflow path and second HDD cage is directly in front of other fan so cooling capability is decreased from FT02/RV02.
And these new hype fans have builtin impedance with that restriction.

I would like to see a decent review of these new silverstone fans, not seen any decent comparrisons yet. I dont see how they can be worse than the 180mm fans used on the raven and ft02.

I'm loving that! Not keen on this TJ-11 at all if I'm honest. I was hoping for a bigger version of the TJ-07...

That case however, I may have to invest in one of those! Unfortunately it'll be a small run and therefore they'll probably be like £500 each.

A good case is a good investment, lasting through years of building

Looking at the power connectors, they are GTX480s.

Trying to prove that life goal of modern humans is avoiding all logical thinking?

Anyone who has paid attention to the behavior of fans knows that a physical obstruction (impedance, in the fan jargon) close to the fan blades causes turbulence noise. The greater the impedance, the greater the noise and the lower the airflow.
