Sorry if I am too lazy to search, but does anyone have a TJ07. I read mostly positive reviews which I know means very little, and a few mentioned a few issues. Not soon after the TJ07 seemed to dissapear from every Etailer and now they are back so I can only assume any issues were fixed. I would like to know, besides the obvious build quality and looks, are there any advantages to this case over an Akaka Eclipse. It seems to me this case employs a brute force approach towards cooling. Things I am trying to find out - Is it noisy ? Is there an issue with psu cable length ? Does the case vibrate when loaded with hard drives ? How is cable management in it ? Any issues working on it ? Basically looking for any feedback from people who have used this case. And was it worth the outlay. Thanks.
 
Worth the price if you have the money. Simple.

The build quality is quite good, but not what you would expect from the price again.

Cooling will be loud with that many fans, you only really need 2 at 5v. The TJ07 is more suited to people who will chuck in a full set of fans at 12v.

Its big so easy to build in, no real issues to note that I found.
 
Thanks for the info.

Will it cool better then an Eclipse ?
One thing that concerns me is chipset/mobo cooling on the tj07......there seems to be cooling for hard drives in the bottom bay, and in the top you have air coming in from the 2 rear 92mm fans to cool the cpu and then pulled out again by the 2 top 120mm fans. But there is nothing to provide airflow over the mobo chipset which I think is important on passively cooled mobos as the heatpipes very often are not enough.
 
It would cool better than a Eclipse if you packed it full of 12v fans.

If noise became a issue then the Eclipse would level peg the TJ07 and most likely cool better.

You just cant beat the one in one out system for a case, it just works.

EDIT: if you have not already, you could add me to MSN.
