With the almost comically rapid advancement of today's graphics processors resulting in a virtual Pandora's box of heat production growth it only makes sense for chassis manufacturers to start building cases that are thermodynamically prioritized to help combat these effects. Leave it to SilverStone to hone in and strike deep within the heart of this neglected area of case design with their Temjin TJ-09 Case!
The TJ-09 is the first SilverStone chassis designed with graphics card cooling as one of the priorities. To meet this challenge, they created a brand new mid-section air duct to bypass the hard drive cage, allowing a strategically placed 120mm to draw cool air from outside of the chassis and blow it directly onto the expansion slot area. But just because video card cooling was a priority, that does not mean other components were left to fend for themselves! The CPU and hard drives are also cooled exclusively by 120mm fans to maximize airflow while reducing noise.
Built around classic SilverStone styling cues the TJ-09 delivers aesthetic excellence and with an advanced structure that is second in stiffness only to the unibody design of the TJ-07. If you are a hardcore gamer, or any graphics professional that is going to be running some serious video card hardware, then you need the TJ-09! One look at this case and you will see exactly why SilverStone's Temjin TJ-09 Case was the case of choice for MaximumPC's Dream Machine 2006!
