1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:16,000
so in 2005 Silverstone created the

2
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,880
perfect chassis the tj07 and I okay it's

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,359
not quite perfect my tj07 the tj07 is the case I use for my personal machine

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,320
my tj07 has the interior painted black

5
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:30,080
it has some modifications I've taken out the hard drive cages I have used the

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,120
back of the motherboard tray for mounting ssds I've taken out the front

7
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:38,320
Bay covers and I've replaced them with mesh um I've dremeled out some of the

8
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:44,039
back for cable routing basically I've made some some changes but the chassis

9
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:49,800
itself with its all aluminum unibody design is in my opinion the finest case

10
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:55,559
ever made now when Silverstone launched the

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,320
tj1 I was very curious to have a look at

12
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:04,280
it because the tj1 is something of a spiritual successor to the TJ tj7 with

13
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:09,640
some key improvements in technology that have been made in The Last 5 Years so

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:16,360
the tj11 is actually larger than the tj07 the tj07 has seven front Bays tj11

15
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,119
has nine so it's quite a bit taller it's also wider and so what are they using

16
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,720
that extra height for well for one thing the tj7 is great for liquid cooling

17
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:29,439
that's what I do with mine I actually have a quad 120 mil Radiator in the

18
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:31,439
bottom the tj11 allows up to a quad 140

19
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:36,920
mil r radiator so you got more space in the bottom they've also implemented the

20
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:42,200
concept that was introduced with the Raven series of chassis with the rv1

21
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,079
which is the 90°

22
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:49,000
altered um motherboard mounting so the

23
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:54,159
cards actually have their IO ports at the top of the chassis rather than the

24
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:58,000
back of it and I than that yeah we've

25
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:01,399
increased the size we've put in the 90°

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,960
mounting and I think that is pretty much

27
00:02:01,399 --> 00:02:10,720
it for what I had to say so I'm going to let silverstone's packaging and

28
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:14,680
documentation here do the rest of the

29
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,200
talking okay so looks like my my packing

30
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:20,040
came off while I was taking it out of the box but give me a second to get this

31
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:26,959
unwrapped and then I will show you guys the tj1 so we've got the tj11 extracted from

32
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:30,680
the box you can clearly see that with me standing next to it the case appears

33
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,040
very large pretty with pretty much anyone standing next to it the case is

34
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,160
going to appear pretty large so let's just go through what Silverstone has to

35
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,640
say for themselves on the outside of the box which we haven't quite done yet so

36
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,800
not content with its past achievements Silverstone Engineers aim to set another

37
00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:50,120
Benchmark okay so beautifully crafted all aluminum tj11 is a pleasure to work

38
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:53,400
with it's free of rivets now this is part of what allowed me to make the

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,640
modifications that I was able to make to my tj7 it can be completely

40
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,040
deconstructed and reconstructed very easily even if if you need to take it

41
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,280
apart paint it and put it all completely back together it's also easier to clean

42
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,440
for that reason as well I've taken it apart a few times so they have kept with

43
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,000
this uh proud tradition with the tj11 you can completely take it apart bigger

44
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,760
lower compartment to house even the largest radiator available talked about

45
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:23,400
that as well potential and flexibility are truly unrivaled um okay 1,000 wat

46
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:26,720
plus cooling capacity on air you can build an impressive storage server with

47
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,120
its plethora of Drive Bay options or even an amazing piece of technology

48
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,760
artwork with liquid cooling so this has all been covered so far plenty of

49
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:38,640
ergonomic touches such as quick access filters a hot swappable hard drive Bays

50
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:43,519
which is the tj07 did not have removable motherboard tray which the 07 did have

51
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:47,080
CPU black back plate cutout which the 07 my 07 doesn't have but I believe the

52
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:52,280
newer ones do and an optimized cable routing path to enable easy maintenance

53
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,959
and upgrades for efficiency awesome okay

54
00:03:52,280 --> 00:04:00,360
let's move along here so the 90 degree motherboard mounting I've already talked about it includes two air penetrator air

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,439
AP 181 fans to Aid stack Cooling so that

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:07,519
is their uh cooling design with the motherboard rotated 90° extra large

57
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:12,560
venting area for the 10th expansion slot which will'll have to show you later

58
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:15,439
rivet Fe free construction room for powerful water cooling equipment dual

59
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:20,479
power supply support that's another thing that it carries over from its uh

60
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,680
predecessor the tj07 all aluminum construction with anodized sand blasted

61
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:29,120
finish now this I'm really glad to see check this out so on the tj07 we had the

62
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,639
anodized sand blast finish which is kind of a rough finish I don't want to touch

63
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,360
it cuz I don't want to leave fingerprints um and then on the sides we

64
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,680
had a brushed finish now brushed finishes I love them they look beautiful

65
00:04:37,479 --> 00:04:44,440
but they're a fingerprint disaster you touch them and it it actually etches

66
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,240
into the aluminum from your fingerprints and you can't even rub it off if you let

67
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:54,000
that those oils sit there for long enough whereas with the um with these

68
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:59,639
sand blasted finishes they're actually far more durable in terms of being um

69
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:07,080
well they're harder to scratch they're more difficult to damage with your fingers etc etc so for the side panels

70
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:09,520
mine particularly have um IR removable

71
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,919
marks indelible marks at the back from from taking it off and putting it on so

72
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:18,160
you should be able to avoid that with this case all right a Silverstone

73
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:22,280
exclusive dual extruded aluminum unibody frame with thickness of up to 4.5 mm so

74
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:27,639
the unibody frame here they're talking about a single piece that here where are

75
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,919
they saying yeah the single piece that runs through the entire front curve of

76
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:37,280
the chassis so that is something that's been carried over from the tj7 9 5 and

77
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:40,600
1/4 in Bay twin removable hard drive cages with built-in cpo5 hot swapable

78
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:45,440
adapters we'll have to show you that in a minute six 3 and2 in hard drive trays

79
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:49,639
with uh you can look at this picture over here so that they can see for now

80
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,000
um six 3 and half in hard drive base built using industrial grade nylon very

81
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,800
cool okay and then massive lower compartment we've talked about that

82
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:02,199
before power supply housing area for up to two power supplies dual see-through

83
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,720
air intake vents with removable filters

84
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:07,039
okay uh P air penetrator fans y yep top

85
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,240
mounted slide out motherboard tray system to facilitate installation 9

86
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:15,840
plus1 expansion slots enable support for XL ATX motherboards and multi-GPU

87
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:20,960
configuration so that's a big one as well the tj11 is actually one of the few

88
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:25,240
cases on the market that can accept something like a Gigabyte G1 assassin

89
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,759
motherboard natively with no modifications

90
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:33,440
whatsoever all right let's take the side panel off oh we can have a look at the

91
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:38,280
accessories that are included as well so we've got three

92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,160
SSD adapters so that's uh 2 and 1/2 to 3

93
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:43,560
and 1/2 inch adapter oh look at this they let you decide if you want to put

94
00:06:41,599 --> 00:06:46,520
on the Silverstone badge or not so it just comes with a double-sided tape on

95
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,319
it so you can either put that on your case or you can not is there a

96
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,440
particular place it goes no you decide excellent all right uh dual power supply

97
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:59,919
adapter just a relay so that they'll both turn on at the same time fan

98
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:07,440
filters two of them oh they're magnetic nice all right tj11

99
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:09,400
manual screws another Silverstone uh

100
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,759
badge this one's not made of metal it's more of a sticker but it's smaller it's

101
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:19,520
also nice yeah this is a metal sticker by the way it's very very nice okay

102
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:22,120
we've got a Molex to three 3 pin adapter

103
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:27,199
for your fans and then finally we have the single uh redundant power supply

104
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:32,280
option here if you're building like a high-end workstation and you're going to

105
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:35,960
put that in a Silverstone tj11 here's the side panel oh there's that extra

106
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:40,199
screw I was wondering where that went okay here is the side panel it's very

107
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,960
thick look at that piece of aluminum right there it's incredibly thick heavy

108
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:49,360
duty construction that's what makes this case even remotely workable with though

109
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:55,960
the fact that it's made of aluminum if this was made of steel it would weigh more than I can carry I'll tell you guys

110
00:07:53,080 --> 00:08:01,879
that much so you can see here this is completely free access for the air air

111
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:06,400
pen pator fans here to fresh air flow from the outside and then down here

112
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,520
these grills are all opened up so that for people who are going to remove the

113
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:15,479
lower hard drive cages and mount a large radiator down there they will have all

114
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:21,840
the access to air flow that they need for the cooling fans on the radiator

115
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:23,639
itself so since this is a uh sort of a

116
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:28,199
like a backwards case I've actually opened up well it's like backwards and

117
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:32,080
then rotated 90° so I've actually opened up what would normally be the correct

118
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,800
side to see the motherboard tray itself but in this case it's not oh yeah and it

119
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:39,519
comes with uh an anodized aluminum mouse

120
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,440
pad as well which is just gorgeous all right so let's open up the

121
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,800
other side give me just a minute here won't make you guys sit through that so

122
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,680
I opened it up but I realized we're not really done with the outside so up here

123
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:55,440
on the top of the case we've got an enormous grilled area so this is

124
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:01,399
actually the main exhaust for the case the back of the chassis itself actually

125
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:06,240
has no room for exhaust at all because that is not the function of the back of

126
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,480
this case so let's go ahead and take this off it's just held in place by

127
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Clips all right now you can see what would normally be the back of a computer

128
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:19,320
case so there's your IO here's where you can plug in the front USB if you're not

129
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:25,880
using the internal headers all right and there are your

130
00:09:21,079 --> 00:09:28,120
9 + one okay what does that mean so 9

131
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:33,959
plus oh just this is just ventilation space for that 10th spot so there's your

132
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,480
9+ one uh uh PCI slots as well for your

133
00:09:33,959 --> 00:09:42,000
XL ATX motherboards lots of ventilation space around the sides and the bottom as

134
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,120
well and a 120 mil fan here at the back

135
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,519
the power button is also here on the top and then on this side we've got two USB

136
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,440
3.0 ports as well as a reset switch and

137
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:58,839
then on the other side we have two USB 2.0 PS as well as our front audio ports

138
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:03,800
on the front I want you guys to have a close closer look you can see the 5 and

139
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:05,920
1/4 in Baye as well as oh another power

140
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,839
switch so they've actually built in two power switches so whether you want to

141
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:13,279
turn whether you want to have it sitting on the floor next to you and be able to

142
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,720
reach the power switch here or whether you want to have it up on your desk and

143
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:21,079
reach the power switch here you will have easy access to turn on the computer

144
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,480
H it's kind of neat all right moving around to the other side this case does

145
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:30,560
include a side panel window so you can see the uh sexy Hardware that you have

146
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,399
hopefully installed in it because if you're going to buy this case and put in

147
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:41,880
like a you know Micro ATX motherboard and like Onboard video and yeah then

148
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,920
we'll just have to you Stone you to

149
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:48,279
death okay so there you go that's what it looks like with the window on and now

150
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:53,240
off and let's have a look at the internal features so here we can install

151
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:58,040
all of our 5 and 1/4 in devices here we can see the hot swappable 3 and 1/2 in

152
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,040
Bay you can also see that oh I don't even know why it included in SSD

153
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:06,720
adapters because it looks like we can probably just screw ssds natively onto

154
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:12,480
these right there like that maybe there's ones that uh that don't have

155
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:16,959
that piece I'm not sure not 100% sure how these work there we go nice

156
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:22,360
excellent okay let's have a look at these other ones it looks like they're all the same yep those are all the same

157
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:27,800
so that's how the hard drives go in here are the enormous AP 181 fans so these

158
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,839
are going to be blowing up at your components which will be inst called

159
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:37,000
this way so your video cards are going this way lengthwise here see

160
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:41,600
that all right here is the motherboard tray which as I mentioned before

161
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,440
supports up to XL ATX so that's where

162
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:50,240
you have those longer motherboards like the G1 assassin okay here's our front

163
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:51,959
USB 3.0 hookups let me just see where

164
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,519
those cables come from yeah it looks like if you wanted to hook those up to

165
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:59,279
internal adapters for the time being you're going to need to get an adapter

166
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,240
from these to an internal header but since on this case you're hiding all of

167
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:08,959
these cables anyway it's not nearly as big of a deal all right oh speaking of

168
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:11,360
the back actually there's a cutout right

169
00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:16,839
here which is going to allow you to run things like your uh your display cables

170
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:22,440
up into the case without being obstructed by this piece

171
00:12:19,959 --> 00:12:26,160
right here okay there's so much to this case I'm

172
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:30,160
sorry this video is so long guys but there's really nothing I can do about it

173
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:34,920
so the AP 1881 have filters on them which are removable and cleanable there

174
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:38,120
you go they have free access to all of the outside air as I mentioned around on

175
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:44,240
the other side but that goes for both sides all of the internal cables are

176
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,040
black black black so they're sleeved

177
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:50,320
there's your uh there's your dual power switch right there see how it has two

178
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:56,519
cables going into it there's your power LED hard drive LED reset switch your uh

179
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:59,560
front USB and your front HD audio is all

180
00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:01,240
there uh here are the SATA cables for

181
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:05,079
those hot swap Bays so you can either leave those in plug all these into your

182
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,639
motherboard and then leave them as hot swap or in my case what I would be doing

183
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:13,920
is I'd be removing them all finding somewhere else to put my drives like uh

184
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,399
like I did on my tj07 is I bolted all my

185
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:21,320
sists on the back of the motherboard tray so I might do something like that or Mount them on the back of the 5 and

186
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:24,279
1/4 inch Bas whatever the case may be

187
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:29,399
and uh I think that pretty much covers everything that I have to say

188
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:34,680
about the tj11 for now I'm actually going to be doing a new extreme buyer

189
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:37,480
guide featuring The tj11 so I invite you

190
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:42,639
guys to stay tuned for that I'm going to be finally updating my liquid cooling

191
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,519
howto with some higher performance Part Parts I did kind of a liquid cooling

192
00:13:44,839 --> 00:13:50,800
Essentials guide way back when as episode number two of ncx tech tips so

193
00:13:49,199 --> 00:13:56,839
this time we're going to do it right we're going to do it with the G1 assassin and the tj11 with some cool

194
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:01,199
swifttech water cooling parts and I'm definitely very excited about that so

195
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:05,040
stay stay tuned and uh let's see what the tj11 has in store I've never built

196
00:14:03,199 --> 00:14:09,440
an it before but on the surface it looks like it addresses pretty much any

197
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:14,199
complaint I could have possibly had about my ideal case the tj07 we've got

198
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:19,320
the black interior we've got better Cable Management it's roomier for more

199
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:22,399
water cooling goodness and other than that I mean what else what else is there

200
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,560
to change thanks for checking out my unboxing and first look don't forget to
