Silverstone Temjin SST-TJ02 Case 

Below the drive bays we have both the power and reset buttons.

 

And moving right along are the power and HDD lights. All of which are recessed into the front bezel to maintain a streamlined look to the case front.

And of course, what case would be complete without those handy front access ports. Located at the bottom and covered with a push button type door, Silverstone has actually gone one step further than most case manufacturers.

 

Rather than just two USB 2.0 ports, they have include four of them. While the case may be a tad bit heavy for a LAN rig, if you do use it as such, you can plug in your keyboard and mouse and still have room for a joystick and gaming pad without having to reach around to the rear of the case.

The back of the case is pretty standard here, and as you can see, no PSU is included. 

   

The right side panel (from the rear) uses thumbscrews, while the opposite side employs the standard Phillips head. If you look closely at that last picture, you can see that the opposite side panel and the top of the case are actually made from a single piece of steel folded to conform to the chassis of the case. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this. The biggest advantage of course is sturdiness. With the side and top being a single piece, there is less flex to the case. It also makes it very easy to remove both the opposite side and top to route cables during installation. The disadvantage is that the removal of this was harder than I would have liked. 

Moving to the side, we see that Silverstone has forgone the windowed design in favor a more traditional look with a couple of exceptions. The first are the latches that are placed at the top and bottom of the panel. The top latch also includes the lock.

   

Once the thumbscrews on the rear are removed, just flip the latches and the panel slips off very easily. So, with that done, let's take a peek inside.
