14 DAY TRIAL // SilverStone has managed to come up with some pretty interesting computer cases lately, and they're quite set to launch another very interesting model in early 2011, namely the TJ11 full tower case, that delivers not only a very attractive design, but also some pretty cool features on the inside. According to Chiphell, the SilverStone SST-TJ11B-W, as the case is officially called, represents the flagship model in the company's TEMJIN series, and features a very unusual internal design, which prompts the internal cards (especially the GPUs) to be mounted in a vertical position.
This choice of interior design, combined with an intake fan in the bottom side and an exhaust fan on the upper side, helps deliver a very good level of cooling efficiency for the system.
And since we've reached the topic of cooling, it's important to point out that the case from SilverStone comes equipped with dual 180mm, 700/1200rpm, 18/34dB fans on the sides, an 120mm, 1200rpm, 19dB fan in the lower side (for air intake) and an 120mm, 900rpm, 18dB exhaust fan on the top side.
The TJ11 sports an all-aluminum design and measures 224x657x642mm, which means that it should work quite OK with SSI-CEB, XL-ATX/ATX/MicroATX motherboards.
Moreover, the computer case offers 9 x 5-inch bays, 6 x 3.5-inch bays, 3 x 2.5-inch drive bays, 9 PCI expansion slots and supports cards with a length of up to 310mm, arranged in SLI / Crossfire configuration.
Other features worth mentioning include the dual ATX power supply, overhead, front dual-power switch, as well as 2 x external USB 3.0 ports and 2 x USB 2.0 ports.
The TJ11 is set to hit the shelves at some point in mid-January 2011, with pricing for the European market being set at the equivalent of roughly 3,500 Yuan (400 Euro), which is a pretty OK price point, given the features this thing has in store.
