Like the
left side panel also the one on the right side of the case is
unspectacular. If you take it off you'll see for example the hard drive
cage which is thightened to the case by four screws. To install hard
drives comfortably one has to remove the hard drive cage. Furthermore
the cage comes with a handle that allows to remove it comfortably. Generally this case is quite spacious for its size. Furthermore it's practical that 5.25 inch drives can be installed screwless. Once the hardware is in place one can see that the TJ04 really allows for cables to be routed very neatly to the backside of the motherboard tray. As a result there will be efficient cooling of the components. |

At this point of the review we're going to show what we didn't like about the TJ04. Generally there are really a lot of screws. It doesn't matter what you do on the case but for most of the things you'll need a screw driver. We would have loved to see more snap-in locks or at least thumb screws with metric threads to which keep the slot bezels and the hard drive cage in place. Something else we noticed when installing our power supply we use for testing. The cage for 2.5 inch drives is really close to the PSU. If you have a power supply with cable management, that is a littlebit longer than the ATX specs suppose, some of the connectors will be blocked. Should you be owner of 2.5 inch drives and this type of PSU, then you're left with no other alternative than placing the 2.5 inch cage in 3.5 inch cage and therefore block some of the 3.5 inch spaces. |
