Seemingly, SilverStone has been pretty happy with the layout of the TJ-09 because, apart from the addition of a door on the TJ-10, there are very few other changes.

But, SilverStone has possibly made the right call because the TJ-09 was a fine piece of kit.

The same grill for a pair of 120mm fans appears on the top of the chassis, with black plastic cases supplied to hold the optional fans in place.

Adding such fans would bring the price up still higher - and it's currently a whopping £200-plus!

Naturally, the TJ-10 is an all-aluminium affair. It weighs 13kg and comes in black and silver versions, each available with and without a side-panel window. Windowed versions look to carry a price premium of around £10 which strikes us as a little steep when the windowless model is already pitched at £195-plus.

Silverstone has kept the same pop-up expansion-port console carrying two USB ports, one FireWire 1394a (FireWire 400) port and headphone and mic sockets.

The console remains well-positioned and neatly integrated into the case but no room has been found for an e-SATA port.
