Editor's Note: While Computex took place last week and all of the news announcements are behind us, we're still sorting through hundreds of in-person meetings and demonstrations, picking out just a few more of the most interesting items we saw up close.
Okay, calling it the companion cube might be a bit of a stretch, but that's the joke going around the SilverStone office, according to the representative who gave us the booth tour at Computex 2014. The TJ12 enclosure certainly caught our eye the moment we approached the SilverStone's stand; it looks like it's big enough to be home to a small person.
The TJ12 is still very much in the prototype phase, though that doesn't stop it from being very well built. The entire enclosure is made from thick aluminum and is extremely heavy as a result. It cannot be moved by a single person, and each side panel weighs about as much as the average computer case. The case is so big, in fact, that the folks from SilverStone manufactured a step so that the visitors could actually see into the top of the case.
Inside the case there is support for any motherboard, three 360 mm water cooling radiators just in the base, and more storage than you'll ever need by yourself. In the demo were two AMD Radeon R9 295X2's, which suddenly looked very cute.
Of course, when the case comes out it won't be cheap. The original TJ11 still sells for around $600, and that case uses a lot fewer materials than the TJ12. The two really can't be compared, though. We were informed that the case would almost certainly cost more than $1000 -- quite a bit more.
What are your thoughts on this case? Would you like one? What should SilverStone do to make you want one if you don't?
