They\'re the same price really... £10 difference max... but the Lian Li is quieter but has less cooling potential. I\'m almost pressing the button on the TJ09, it ticks all the right boxes for me.Quote:

TBH I don\'t think you\'ll be disappointed if you opt for either case though.
As an aside I have an Enermax 1000w psu and an 8800 GTX inside my TJ09 and there\'s plenty of room.
TJ09 on Today Only but no Black :(Quote:

"Which store?"
Scan http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/ (about third of the page down) £166.85 inc VAT.
Design - very good. I really like the drive cages, though they're a little snug it's a clever layout. The case is easy to work with, everything slots in and lays out nicely.Quote:

Dust - yes, there is a bit that collects around the graphics inlet but it is in a dusty room. I've got it on some board to raise it off the carpet. I dust it every now and then (when I can think of it).
The sides go on toe-to-heel rather than sliding on.
That's about it off the top of my head, I'm at work and thus away from the thing at the moment. I'm very happy with it though, ambient temps are very low and the airflow is superb.
Hehehe thanks pollaxe, just ordered one (black, windowed) along with two purple cathodes from good old Scan! :D
Will be filling it with Akasa Ambers so noise shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait to get this baby!
How did you find cable routing by the way? And do you hear any fan vibration due to the aluminium frame or is it all solid?
Anyway for anyone wondering why I chose it, I just felt that overall the case suits my needs better than the Lian Li. Airflow looks very, very good and the looks of the case itself are cracking. The PSU issue also put me off the Li, if in future I got a big PSU it would be a no-go. The Silverstone is the one for me. :)
Welcome to the club, this is the point I reveal I was lying and don't have one.. ;) No, not really, I do and I love the old thing.Quote:

Bottom line, I don't think you'll regret buying it. :)
Sharkoon Golf ball fans are better than the Akasa Amber fans, by quite a margin...
Maybe so, but I already have the ambers and don't really want to fork out for any more. I'll keep an eye out for them though they do sound good, albeit standard specs seem noisy at 36dba. :)Quote:
