SilverStone TJ09 Full-Tower Case
Introduction
It's difficult not to build up Silverstone's reputation. Despite the fact that they are relative newcomers (2003), they have quickly made a name for themselves with ingenious case design and a dedication to producing only the highest quality products. Simply put, they make great cases, period. In fact, many companies try to engineer their own models for the purpose of making similar cases for less. And these would be knock-offs. Today we'll be looking at the Silverstone TJ09 Full-Tower Case. It sports a handful of innovations such as a separate hard drive section and unique video card cooling. The accolades for the TJ09 are already piling up, and Maximum PC is calling this their 2006 Dream Machine case. For the price, it might just be dream-worthy, too. There's not much doubt that the TJ09 will live up to Silverstone's reputation for quality, but does it actually merit the acclaim? Is it a steal for a mere three hundred United States dollars?

on April 3, 2007 - 5:34 pm So, like, I had some real problems writing that article. Not ethical ones, I love this case and I'm glad it's mine, all mine, but rather, writing problems. Mostly problems with flow; I won't point out the problems that I think are there on account of that might taint your commentary. I really want to hear about what you liked about it. I really, really want to hear if there was something that you thought sounded shitty. P.S. I didn't shoot the pictures. That's all Kurtis. That's also a very good thing. P.P.S. I'm going to take some photos of it with our next test rig once it's all installed and put them up here. 3 - Posted by

on April 24, 2009 - 3:31 am I appreciate this review because I am seriously considering buying one or maybe two of the best air-cooled tower cases I can find. Of importance to me is that the intake air is filtered effectively, and that the filters are easily cleanable. It seems that the only way to clean the TJ09 intake grille is to remove the intake fan assembly first. Is that true, and how hard is it to do that with a loaded case? Please send response to my email address. Thanks very much, Seth; setha2z@aol.com.

on April 24, 2009 - 12:47 pm It's not difficult but I wouldn't ever say it was quick. Even in the best scenario, you'll have to undo a lot of screws. You'll likely have to loosen and slide out the motherboard tray as well.
