I'll looking to get one of these to replace my Lian Li PC-61 for my next upgrade - my Lian Li, great as it is, is getting rather cramped inside.

To the point : can a TJ07 owner possibly tell me how much space there is between the hard disk rear (connector side) and the side of the case?
I'm seriously playing with the idea of using some SCSI disks with SCA connectors for my next rig, and these would need SCA-to-68pin adaptors which increase how far the connectors stick out by about 1cm.

If they can handle a standard SATA connector without too much of a kink I guess that'd be fine.

Other than that, any notable cons with these cases? (except for the price :p )

Cheers, Mat.
 
redeye: thanks for your time to measure it :) that should be plenty of room for the adaptors and cables I was looking to use. The quality does appear to be very good, I particulary like the dual fans on the HD bays and keeping all that and the PSU seperate from the motherboard 'area'.

prism: Indeed... I have a contact that can supply 15kRPM SCA drives at a knockdown price, but not the 68-pin ones (they're a server reseller). Also I may wish to use the drives later in my own server, with SCA drives I can do that, but if I had 68-pin drives, theres no adaptor for them to fit in a SCA hotswap backplane. I'm looking to go RAID-0 on a PCI-X raid controller, I'm tired of spending a quarter of my day everyday looking at progress bars :)
 
prism... I have not seen an adaptor that allows one to connect a 68-pin drive + power to a SCA backplane - that'd be SCA male to 68-pin female + power, the opposite of what I've seen before. Who makes these?

As for the cost effectiveness of SCSI for normal desktop duties ... I stand with you on this one, but the way our PowerEdge 2950 at work stomps through disk-intensive stuff makes me rather giddy :p
