Motherboard Tray
It has been a while since we have seen a case with an excellent removable motherboard tray. Lian Li's PC-6070 had the same type of tray that SilverStone implemented in the TJ03, but for some reason, SilverStone has decided not to use it in the TJ05.An upside to the design is the number of holes that SilverStone has provided for its stand-offs to mount various types of ATX boards from standard ATX to the smaller micro ATX style boards. We were surprised that SilverStone had not used the snap-on stand offs like Thermaltake had used, since it adopted many other features from the big name.

The tray is also large enough to allow installation of extended ATX boards, which helps target a wider range of consumers.

As usualy another great review. Looks like this may be the case for my next system! Not to advertise another site but there is another good review of this case online for those who want more information and another opinion, though equally positive:http://www.pcunleash.com/bbs/zboard.php?id=MyItemR...

"Next case to review: Thermaltake Tsunami. ;) "We badly need an updated power supply review too. Most recent one from searching for "power" on the home page appears to be "2003 Power Supply Roundup Part II: Better Faster Cheaper" from Jul 31st, 2003.

OK, fair enough...masher - Thursday, August 26, 2004 - link
The 12cm fans I have start at 3000 rpm, and go down from there. They're louder at 12v than nearly all 8cm fans, though you're correct this isn't true for all fans.But you're still missing the point-- the reviewer is blaming the CASE for the noise, despite a cooling figure that obviously shows the fans are pumping much more air than those its being judged against.

#25:12cm fans are almost invariably quieter than 8cm fans without any special effort. I don't know why you seem to think otherwise. I agree that if you were to run them at the same rpm, then yeah, a 12cm will be louder. But 12cm fans are almost always set at a fairly low rpm (in the low 2000 range), while 8cm fans tend to go 3500rpm and up (way up, the really noisy ones closing in on 6000rpm).
Perhaps you are thinking that all fans run the same speed at full voltage? No, they run at whatever speed they were made to run.

#20, Sure you can devolt a 12cm fan and get more airflow for less noise than an 8cm...but the reviewer didn't do that, now did he? He ran them full speed, chortled with glee at its resultant good cooling numbers, then expressed shock and awe that it was no quieter than a case equipped with smaller fans. Come again?The fans CAN be quieter...they don't start out that way. The reviewer doesn't seem to understand why not.

jm0ris0n: The designer of the TJ05 also designed the Wavemaster which results in the similarities.Zepper - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - link
Apparently, jm0.., you didn't actually READ the review....bh.
