When planning a high-end system build, one of
the main products most PC enthusiasts focus on is none other than the
enclosure they plan on installing their quality components in.
Unfortunately, after evaluating quite a number of cases over the years, I've
personally found that most will usually take a gamble when purchasing one. Pictures can be deceiving, and what may appear as one
impressive, high-quality case may end up disappointing you when you when you
actually see it first-hand. Very few companies consistently put out
cases that will impress in terms of overall quality. If
there is one company that has done just that and has managed to gain a high
level of respect as a result, it is Silverstone
Technology. Their Temjin Series cases are designed to target those
after ultimate quality and innovation and have proven to do just that with
each and every release. Today, we have the
pleasure of taking a thorough look at their flagship enclosure in this
series, the Temjin TJ10.

It is hard to depict in pictures, but the TJ10
comes in a surprisingly large box. At first glance, it appeared to be
double-boxed. While I find this a necessity for shipping these products,
it certainly wasn't necessary in this particular case. The case is
extremely well-packaged and arrived completely undamaged. This beauty
ships with a very basic install manual and three bags of install hardware
that will definitely cover any type of setup you may be planning.
Design - A Quick Glance

Upon first glance, I was immediately impressed
with its design and quality. The first thing you'll notice after
unpacking is its overall depth. The TJ10 is a whopping 25.35"
so make sure you measure and have room where you plan to showcase
it.
While you have four different models to chose from, the sample
of choice for this particular build sports a quality black, brushed aluminum
finish and a window on the right door panel. The front of the chassis
sports a very clean yet pleasing design. The rear of the chassis
deviates from the norm a bit in terms of hardware placement. More on
that later though. Overall, a
very cleverly designed chassis that will certainly meet or exceed your
expectations.
