This case is very sturdy due to its solid aluminium construction and unique one-piece design. The tool-less nature of the case means it can be stripped down to a bare minimum very quickly - and painlessly. The removable motherboard tray is the best I've worked with.

The airflow is excellent due to the lower hard drive section of the case being mostly sealed from the motherboard compartment. 6 hard drives can be added to this compartment (which also houses the PSU) with room for more expansion brackets. Each bracket comes with its own fan which sucks air from the left lower panel grill. The top of this case is also made from the same mesh to help dissipate warm air.

The size of this case is rather imposing – it’s not one for desks with limited space available! If you’ve got the room, you’ll find that the internal space available in this case is excellent. The TJ07 easily accommodates the largest of after-market cooling solutions and the longest video cards, even with Crossfire/SLI solutions.

There aren’t too many cons (in my opinion) to mention however after living with the case for a year I have noticed a couple of niggles. Firstly, the dust build up within the case is minimal thanks to the good airflow however dust does build up quite a bit on the external panel by the HDD intake fan. The brushed black finish of the case does retain fingerprints quite well and the paint on the 5¼ bay covers doesn’t hold properly at all – even brushing your finger lightly across the surface is enough to remove some paint and reveal the bare metal surface.

Despite this, the lasting impression of this case is most positive indeed. I will be re-using it for many PCs to come. Yes, it’s a pricier option but what you get is well-worth what you pay as this is one serious, good-quality case.
