Conclusions

Test Conclusions.

What this shows more than anything is that the TJ06s, with its minimal amount of cooling fans does not fall behind those cases with a greater number of fans, nor those with top mounted fans like the Lian Li. Also, the only test where there was more than a single degree in the results was the CPU temperature test, which is a sterling endorsement of the orientation of the Motherboard, balance of airflow and effectiveness of the Wind Tunnel which the TJ06 enjoys. The Lian Li is lighter, due to its all aluminum construction, but the Silverstone model looks better, performs as well or better, and is at least starting to bring in additional features over the standard tool less high-end case.

At roughly the same price, if I had to choose, I’d go with the Silverstone TJ06s.

Final Thoughts.

A superb looking case for a very competitive price, that performs almost as well as it looks. If extreme cooling is not your thing, and you are simply looking for a stylish chassis to house your latest build in, for around £100, then the TJ06s should be high on your list. Away from its looks, it has some genuinely useful features, a completely tool less design, and a very sturdy construction. There is also an entire Temjin range to choose from, so depending on the depth of your pockets, you could go for something higher up in the range.

Pros:
Stunning looks.
Quiet due to minimal 120mm fans.
Genuinely useful internal additions.
Sturdy construction.
Lockable Front.

Cons: (If being very picky…)
Could be lighter.

i have this case in black and i think its great. the design makes hiding cables a little difficult but its really nice to look at - tooless as well
Don't think this is mentioned in the review but anyone else notice the similarity between the grill design on this case and the Coolermaster ATC-410?



I don't know why I'm mentioning it only that I'm bored, lol. I think CM lost some good designers, I'm not a fan of their current range at all. Silverstone rock!
can you fit some of the larger cpu heatsinks in the windtunnel, eg zalman ones
A notable omission is tha absence of any HDD cooling. Are there any mounting holes on the drive cage?
the psu )(if it has a bottom mounted fan) cools that hard drives - I have found it works pretty well, I have a 80gb ide drive and a 160gb sata drive in there and they are both kept pretty cool.
