Front Panel
The case's front panel hosts the usual power and reset buttons, along with peripheral and audio I/O. SilverStone also exposes a switch for the 180 mm front fan's speed that's hidden somewhat on the right side. The fan moves a lot of air. However, it's anything but quiet, making it unusable for this build.
Dust Filter
SilverStone's Temjin TJ08-E has two dust filters: one in the front and one up top. The uppermost dust filter is held in place by magnets. This works well. It stays in place even if the case is turned upside down, but it’s easy enough to take off and put back on for cleaning.
Nestled inside the face panel, the front dust filter is not as easy to access (unless you have really long fingernails, that is). If you don’t, you’ll need some kind of thin tool to get it out far enough to grab on with your hands. Some kind of small handle would have been good here.
