Final Thoughts and Conclusions
If you are in the market for a Micro-ATX tower enclosure, the SilverStone TJ08-E case deserves to be up at the top of your list. The TJ08-E provides excellent cooling and it packs a lot of storage capacity into a small tower chassis. The overall build quality is very good and the beautiful black anodized front panel is just what we would expect from SilverStone. Easily removable side panels, top, motherboard tray, and HDD cage are icing on the cake. The TJ08-E proved to be a pleasure to work with and earned this editor’s choice award!
The SilverStone TJ08-E Micro-ATX enclosure is currently available with a street price of $99.00 USD (Newegg.com, January 2012).
Note: SilverStone recently released the Precision Series PS07 enclosure, which is very similar to the TJ08-E except the PS01 has a different front panel and uses two 120mm intake fans instead of one 180mm fan. It’s also over $20 less expensive.
• SilverStone PS07 Micro-ATX Tower Enclosure ($78.99)
• SilverStone NT01-E CPU cooler ($48.99)
• SilverStone 120mm Blue LED fan ($15.99)
• SilverStone SDP08 3.5" to 2.5" Bay Converter ($8.99)
TJ08-E Strengths:
• Premium black anodized aluminum front panel
• Large, two-speed 180mm Air Penetrator fan pre-installed
• Positive air pressure design delivers excellent cooling performance
• Quick access filters help prevent dust buildup inside chassis
• Convenient wire and cable routing pathways for clean installation
• Removable side and top panels

• Large opening in motherboard tray allows accessing CPU cooler back plate

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.
