One of the few drawbacks is the cabling for the USB and FireWire ports and the two audio jacks. Since the cables are separate, you have to consult the manual for your motherboard. The labels on the contacts are helpful but unnecessary. The panel connectors have been standardized for some time now and could be connected using one central plug.
Hooking up the cables takes a lot of patience and a good manual.
Motherboard and components can be installed outside the case
Low weight
Plenty of room for hard drives and 5.25" drives
Edges filed down
Dust filter
Cons
No vibration absorption on drives
Little space left when cabling hard drives
120 degree opening angle of front doors
Cabling for front ports
Two 80 mm fans blow the dissipated heat out of the case.
In sum, hardware installation is a cinch. The motherboard is screwed onto a removable tray. This makes installing the cards, memory and CPU easier than in other cases, and the non-removable drive carriage, holding up to six 5.25" and six 3.5" drives, is easier to access during installation. The going price for the Silverstone Temjin SST-TJ03S is $330 (400 euros).
