SilverStone Temjin TJ04 Case Review

From a case modders standpoint the Silverstone Temjim TJ04 passes with flying colors. The case material is 0.8mm SECC steel making it just about the right thickness for modding without being too thin. As we know thin walled cases tend to rattle constantly especially after cutting a few holes for fans and such. While this does make the case a little heavier the extra bulk comes in handy to ensure a trouble free and stable case for modding.

The front panel is really the key design element on the SilverStone TJ04 and defines the entire case as a modern piece of computer hardware. The elegant lines and brushed finish are very clean and require no further modifications, unfortunately because of this there is really no option to increase cooling performance through the front of the case. As for painting the stock finish is amazingly shiny and durable so painting may or may not be needed.

This particular case arrived without a power supply but did include two 120mm Silverstone case fans; the fans are white in color and blend well against the silver inner case walls. As these are standard case fans they are easily replaceable by removing the 4 screws holding them in place.

Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things.
