SilverStone Temjin TJ08-E vs P180?

Post by fyleow » Thu Oct 27, 2011 1:06 pm

I purchased the P180 right at release and it's been a great case so far. It seems like it has held up pretty well compared to other cases except for some minor issues such as a lack of cable routing in the back and USB 3.0 ports.

My biggest complaint about the P180 is the size and weight. I saw the review on the Temjin and it's a nice compact case but how does it compare in performance to something like the P180? My gut feeling tells me it would be a downgrade but is that the case?

The Silverstone TJ08-E is a poor case for building a silent computer.

These are the major flaws for a silent build:

> there is an acoustic leak on the top
> there is an acoustic leak on the front
