Welcome to Project TJ08 Silver! A rather uninspired name, but I really can't think of one that induces some sort of theme.
I decided to make this build a worklog simply because I have seen many inquire about these type of SFF cases and more specifically this one. When I was searching, there just wasn't much info, though I'd seen a couple of completed builds.
There won't be much modding going on, just a few cool ideas and a good idea of what building in a case like this is like.
I would first apologize for the inconsistency of the picture quality. I am in the market for a quality DSLR camera. Maybe a Nikon D50 or D80.....
I'll start off with a few outside shots...
As you can see, I elected to go with a sideview window, so you know my wiring has to be clean. Which could be a challenge in a case this small.
With the backshot, you'll notice that this case doesn't come with thumbscrews to easily take the side panels off, but don't worry I have a solution for that You can also see the rear 120mm fan in its entirety. I believe the top comes off too, there are 3 screws that hold it down to the chassis. I just might attempt to do it to make sure.
Here's a few shots of the inside with the sideview panel off and you notice the front 120mm intake fan. Together with the rear 120mm, this case should generate some nice airflow, especially being this small. This case has 2 3.5" external (obviously) and 2 3.5" internal bays for your HDD's, with 1 being mounted upside down.
That's it for the initial shots, this case is absolutely small, but it is elegant and stylish. I'll be starting some of my ideas in a few. Keep watching... !
