I don't understand this entire thread at all. What furthur research needs to be done when the label already says "D12SL"? A simple re search for "D12SL" on SPCR forums would reveal 1000 or 1350 rpm, never 1700rpm... And a simple search on the case will reveal 1700rpm fans... The fact of the matter ...

You will struggle to fit 3 hard drives into a TJ08, even more so if your video card is a bit longer.

I have one hard drive in my TJ08, and it just sits on the base of the case. It wouldnt fit in the hard drive bays with my mini ninja CPU heatsink.

You could always get a decent video card, then put an aftermarket passive cooler on it.
