So I've had the wonderful Silverstone Temjin TJ-09 in silver for a number of years now, and with the changes in tech, and my latest build, I am wondering if it would be a good time for a change. There are a couple of reasons for this...
Cable management seems poor for what was a high spec case. While there is a removeable motherboard tray, there is no room realistically behind it for cabling, making it very messy. I believe this is mainly down to its age.
No SSD specific HD slot. SSD's weren't around really when this was designed I guess. Minor irritation but it is still there.
My R6970, when it returns from RMA-Land, barely fits in, due to the graphics card fan splat bang in the middle of the case. This surprised me really considering how big the case actually is.
Unfortunately a replacement is not simple. I do not like ostentatious cases. I do not like black/white/beige cases. This is why I loved the TJ-09. Simple clean lines, easy to work with, and at the time, had everything I needed.
So, any recommendations for a silver case to fit the following -
i5 2500k
ASrock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen 3
Noctua NHD14
16gb of low profile corsair vengeance ram
little asus dg soundcard
MSi R6970 Lightning
Modular 750w Seasonic PSU.
Blu-Ray player
DVD-RW
Fan Controller
M4 128gb SSD
WD Cavier Blue 500gb HD
If there really isnt anything out there, as I know Silver cases are rare these days, then I would consider black ones. If it helps, my previous case was the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream. Major concerns are obviously room for the R6970 and something with better cable management.
