Installation (Cont’d)
RAM Modules (Corsair 8GB Vengeance SDRAM DDR3 1600)
The RAM modules I installed in slots one and two incorporate heatsinks that make the modules a full 2" tall. As you can see in the photo above, with the location of the RAM slots on the MSI mobo, this places the top of the modules very close to the HDDs, but they don’t actually touch. So as long as the RAM you use is 2" or less in height, you should be good to go – in all four DIMM slots.
Power Supply
The TJ08-E enclosure is designed to mount a standard ATX style power supply. SilverStone recommends using a power supply no deeper than 160mm (6.3"), which is good advice because even though a longer power supply will fit, you might run into interference problems with the back of your external 5.25" bay devices. For this review we used a SilverStone Strider Plus 750W power supply (ST-75F-P) that is 160mm deep. The power supply dropped easily into position from the top, sits securely inside the rear compartment, and is secured with four screws on the backside panel. The filtered opening in the top of the case lined up correctly with the power supply intake fan.
External Drive Bays
The front 5.25” drive bay covers must be removed before a 5.25” ODD or bay device can be mounted (two screws from the inside). Each drive or bay device then slides in from the front and is secured with screws. The Sony DVD-ROM drive shown above, measures 170mm (6.6") deep for reference. Both drives installed easily and lined up with the openings in the front panel as expected.
I installed a Universal Card Reader in the external 3.5" drive bay. Once again, it went in easily and fit perfectly; I’m liking this case more and more!
Internal Hard Disc Drives
The internal HDD cage can mount up to four 3.5” HDDs and if you aren’t using an external 3.5" device you can put a fifth HDD underneath the drive cage. This bottom position can also be used to directly mount a 2.5" drive or you can use a 3.5" to 2.5" bay converter (SilverStone SST-SDP08) to put one or more 2.5" drives in one of the four cage slots.
Medium gauge steel. Nice
Medium gauge steel. Nice paint job inside and out. Case access is the opposite of any case I have ever seen before. Opposite panel opens. Neither good nor bad. Top filter for power supply fan is held in place by magnets, and sits slightly above the sheet metal of the case. Too me this appears to be about a sixty dollar case. Different brands have about the same quality for considerably less money than what this sells for.

Question: With this case
Question: With this case could a Corsair CWCH60 Liquid CPU Cooler be used? I am thinking of removing the drive cage and just have one SSD drive. Also a GTX570 graphics card.
Would I have enough ventilation?

If you look at the video here at 6:40 (sorry only in swedish, but you can see the layout) they use corsair H60 liquid cooler. Seems to fit perfectly!

Yes, it appears both the GTX570 and the Corsair CWCH60 (uses the rear 120mm fan location for mounting) should work in this case. And yes, you will have plenty of airflow-ventilation.
I am seriously considering
I am seriously considering ordering this case and have two questions.
* Re. The Rear fan: Is it able to be fitted in addition to the CPU Cooler fan so that both fans are drawing air rearwards ?
** Re. The Power supply: The Silverstone Website/Manual suggests to orient the fan downwards… Is it considered better to have it facing upwards ? It would be interesting to see the different temperature readings.

Remember: with so many shows on the air all competing for audience attention they’re all looking for a
new and different angle. Try to use large bags; it will be easier to cut smaller shapes out
of larger pieces than add two pieces together.
