Just ordered a Silverstone TJ07!

Ok system is all Installed and evrything is up and running, idle temps are 40c still a tad high but nvm havent tested load yet. Mother board temps have dropped a lot though, down to 30 odd was in mid 40's before. Hoever theres 1 big problem...I cant get the side panels back on the case! Has anyone else got issues with this? they slide on 80-90 % then get stuck and I cant bend any of the tabs that go into the slots to make it fit right! I knew they would cause issues because you have to be He-Man to take them off in the first place! Overall good case but not worth £220 I would say £100-£150 max.

Yup I had the same problem. Use your right hand to push the top front of the case as hard as you can, at the same time push the side panel.. it should go on. Think the case warps it's shape without the side panel on slightly. If that doesn't work get it as far as you can on then screw the thumb screws in to push it the rest of the way on. You shouldn't have to do it on a £200 case but there we go.

The thing that worries me about this case is the mesh held in by tabs. Surely that should be screwed in? Is it done that way for a reason or just to save costs?

Well to be honest I think it's better having the tabs as you don't get any screws showing on the outside, gives a better finish. They are pretty robust and the mesh is not going to come off so no probs here.

Yewen, what's your thoughts on the TJ07? Would you say the quality is up there with the Lian Li's? Looking at the reviews and comparing to an S80 for example, the S80 seems to win but I've not seen either in the flesh.

Still thinking of a possible new case

TJ07 would be the best case in the world, if it was £130.

Its seriously over priced for what it is, all I will really say about it.

Looks very nice, built ok but its more a V series comparable not a S80.

It ideally should be the same price as a v1000. Why I do not rate the case personally, with the newest revision if you like it then there is very little bar money to put you off getting it.

Thanks. I actually prefer the style of the V1000 but the TJ07 looks like it would adapt to watercooling much easier.

Just thought I would post update of everything up and running finally! Running at 3.5Ghz @ 440x8.
