anyone know if this Scythe Ninja will go into a Silverstone TJ08?

building a second pc using my old asus p4c800-e board, and need a cpu cooler as the Scythe Ninja is the best choice will it fit anyone?

He is saying the cooler is fine, the motherboard is not.

The cooler fits into the case, at least it did with an asus a8n vm- csm. However, it makes it impossible to fit a hard drive into the 3.5" drive bays.

Have to say that the TJ08 is a bit of a cheap looking case really but the passive cooling as described is brilliant.

TJ08 is a nice case, dunno why you think otherwise. I doubt you'll fit the Ninja in with enough room to spare. Height and HD space a bit I think. Look for a smaller cooler.

I kinda do like the case but it would be a lot nicer if it weren't for the steel sides and top.

As i said, the ninja *does* fit with no problems apart from the 3.5 drive bays being blocked. I used the 5.25 drive and made a caddy for a second drive on the bottom of the case.
