WEBVTT 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:16.000 so in 2005 Silverstone created the 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.880 perfect chassis the tj07 and I okay it's 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:24.359 not quite perfect my tj07 the tj07 is the case I use for my personal machine 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:26.320 my tj07 has the interior painted black 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.080 it has some modifications I've taken out the hard drive cages I have used the 00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:34.120 back of the motherboard tray for mounting ssds I've taken out the front 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 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:44.039 back for cable routing basically I've made some some changes but the chassis 00:00:41.559 --> 00:00:49.800 itself with its all aluminum unibody design is in my opinion the finest case 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:55.559 ever made now when Silverstone launched the 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:58.320 tj1 I was very curious to have a look at 00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:04.280 it because the tj1 is something of a spiritual successor to the TJ tj7 with 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:09.640 some key improvements in technology that have been made in The Last 5 Years so 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:16.360 the tj11 is actually larger than the tj07 the tj07 has seven front Bays tj11 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 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.720 that extra height for well for one thing the tj7 is great for liquid cooling 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 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:31.439 bottom the tj11 allows up to a quad 140 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:36.920 mil r radiator so you got more space in the bottom they've also implemented the 00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:42.200 concept that was introduced with the Raven series of chassis with the rv1 00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:47.079 which is the 90° 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:49.000 altered um motherboard mounting so the 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:54.159 cards actually have their IO ports at the top of the chassis rather than the 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:58.000 back of it and I than that yeah we've 00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:01.399 increased the size we've put in the 90° 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.960 mounting and I think that is pretty much 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 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:14.680 documentation here do the rest of the 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.200 talking okay so looks like my my packing 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 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 00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:30.680 the box you can clearly see that with me standing next to it the case appears 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.040 very large pretty with pretty much anyone standing next to it the case is 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:37.160 going to appear pretty large so let's just go through what Silverstone has to 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 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.800 not content with its past achievements Silverstone Engineers aim to set another 00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:50.120 Benchmark okay so beautifully crafted all aluminum tj11 is a pleasure to work 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 00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:58.640 modifications that I was able to make to my tj7 it can be completely 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:02.040 deconstructed and reconstructed very easily even if if you need to take it 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.280 apart paint it and put it all completely back together it's also easier to clean 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 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:14.000 this uh proud tradition with the tj11 you can completely take it apart bigger 00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:17.760 lower compartment to house even the largest radiator available talked about 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:23.400 that as well potential and flexibility are truly unrivaled um okay 1,000 wat 00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:26.720 plus cooling capacity on air you can build an impressive storage server with 00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:30.120 its plethora of Drive Bay options or even an amazing piece of technology 00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:33.760 artwork with liquid cooling so this has all been covered so far plenty of 00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.640 ergonomic touches such as quick access filters a hot swappable hard drive Bays 00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:43.519 which is the tj07 did not have removable motherboard tray which the 07 did have 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 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:52.280 newer ones do and an optimized cable routing path to enable easy maintenance 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:53.959 and upgrades for efficiency awesome okay 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 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:02.439 AP 181 fans to Aid stack Cooling so that 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:07.519 is their uh cooling design with the motherboard rotated 90° extra large 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:12.560 venting area for the 10th expansion slot which will'll have to show you later 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.439 rivet Fe free construction room for powerful water cooling equipment dual 00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:20.479 power supply support that's another thing that it carries over from its uh 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.680 predecessor the tj07 all aluminum construction with anodized sand blasted 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 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 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.360 it cuz I don't want to leave fingerprints um and then on the sides we 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.680 had a brushed finish now brushed finishes I love them they look beautiful 00:04:37.479 --> 00:04:44.440 but they're a fingerprint disaster you touch them and it it actually etches 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 00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:54.000 that those oils sit there for long enough whereas with the um with these 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:59.639 sand blasted finishes they're actually far more durable in terms of being um 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 00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:09.520 mine particularly have um IR removable 00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:12.919 marks indelible marks at the back from from taking it off and putting it on so 00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:18.160 you should be able to avoid that with this case all right a Silverstone 00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:22.280 exclusive dual extruded aluminum unibody frame with thickness of up to 4.5 mm so 00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:27.639 the unibody frame here they're talking about a single piece that here where are 00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.919 they saying yeah the single piece that runs through the entire front curve of 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 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.600 1/4 in Bay twin removable hard drive cages with built-in cpo5 hot swapable 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 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 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.000 um six 3 and half in hard drive base built using industrial grade nylon very 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:56.800 cool okay and then massive lower compartment we've talked about that 00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:02.199 before power supply housing area for up to two power supplies dual see-through 00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:05.720 air intake vents with removable filters 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:07.039 okay uh P air penetrator fans y yep top 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.240 mounted slide out motherboard tray system to facilitate installation 9 00:06:08.919 --> 00:06:15.840 plus1 expansion slots enable support for XL ATX motherboards and multi-GPU 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 00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:25.240 cases on the market that can accept something like a Gigabyte G1 assassin 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:29.759 motherboard natively with no modifications 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 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:38.280 accessories that are included as well so we've got three 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.160 SSD adapters so that's uh 2 and 1/2 to 3 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 00:06:41.599 --> 00:06:46.520 on the Silverstone badge or not so it just comes with a double-sided tape on 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 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.440 particular place it goes no you decide excellent all right uh dual power supply 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.919 adapter just a relay so that they'll both turn on at the same time fan 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:07.440 filters two of them oh they're magnetic nice all right tj11 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.400 manual screws another Silverstone uh 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 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 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:22.120 we've got a Molex to three 3 pin adapter 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:27.199 for your fans and then finally we have the single uh redundant power supply 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:32.280 option here if you're building like a high-end workstation and you're going to 00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:35.960 put that in a Silverstone tj11 here's the side panel oh there's that extra 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:40.199 screw I was wondering where that went okay here is the side panel it's very 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.960 thick look at that piece of aluminum right there it's incredibly thick heavy 00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:49.360 duty construction that's what makes this case even remotely workable with though 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 00:07:53.080 --> 00:08:01.879 that much so you can see here this is completely free access for the air air 00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:06.400 pen pator fans here to fresh air flow from the outside and then down here 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:10.520 these grills are all opened up so that for people who are going to remove the 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:15.479 lower hard drive cages and mount a large radiator down there they will have all 00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:21.840 the access to air flow that they need for the cooling fans on the radiator 00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:23.639 itself so since this is a uh sort of a 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:28.199 like a backwards case I've actually opened up well it's like backwards and 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:32.080 then rotated 90° so I've actually opened up what would normally be the correct 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 00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:39.519 comes with uh an anodized aluminum mouse 00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:43.440 pad as well which is just gorgeous all right so let's open up the 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 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 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:55.440 on the top of the case we've got an enormous grilled area so this is 00:08:52.959 --> 00:09:01.399 actually the main exhaust for the case the back of the chassis itself actually 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 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 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.760 Clips all right now you can see what would normally be the back of a computer 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 00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:25.880 using the internal headers all right and there are your 00:09:21.079 --> 00:09:28.120 9 + one okay what does that mean so 9 00:09:25.880 --> 00:09:33.959 plus oh just this is just ventilation space for that 10th spot so there's your 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:36.480 9+ one uh uh PCI slots as well for your 00:09:33.959 --> 00:09:42.000 XL ATX motherboards lots of ventilation space around the sides and the bottom as 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:44.120 well and a 120 mil fan here at the back 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 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:52.440 3.0 ports as well as a reset switch and 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 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 00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:05.920 1/4 in Baye as well as oh another power 00:10:03.800 --> 00:10:08.839 switch so they've actually built in two power switches so whether you want to 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 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 00:10:15.079 --> 00:10:21.079 reach the power switch here you will have easy access to turn on the computer 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 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:30.560 include a side panel window so you can see the uh sexy Hardware that you have 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:34.399 hopefully installed in it because if you're going to buy this case and put in 00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:41.880 like a you know Micro ATX motherboard and like Onboard video and yeah then 00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:43.920 we'll just have to you Stone you to 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 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:53.240 off and let's have a look at the internal features so here we can install 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 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 00:10:59.560 --> 00:11:06.720 adapters because it looks like we can probably just screw ssds natively onto 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:12.480 these right there like that maybe there's ones that uh that don't have 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:16.959 that piece I'm not sure not 100% sure how these work there we go nice 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 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 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:31.839 are going to be blowing up at your components which will be inst called 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:37.000 this way so your video cards are going this way lengthwise here see 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:41.600 that all right here is the motherboard tray which as I mentioned before 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:43.440 supports up to XL ATX so that's where 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:50.240 you have those longer motherboards like the G1 assassin okay here's our front 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:51.959 USB 3.0 hookups let me just see where 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:55.519 those cables come from yeah it looks like if you wanted to hook those up to 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:59.279 internal adapters for the time being you're going to need to get an adapter 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:03.240 from these to an internal header but since on this case you're hiding all of 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 00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:11.360 the back actually there's a cutout right 00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:16.839 here which is going to allow you to run things like your uh your display cables 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:22.440 up into the case without being obstructed by this piece 00:12:19.959 --> 00:12:26.160 right here okay there's so much to this case I'm 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 00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:34.920 so the AP 1881 have filters on them which are removable and cleanable there 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 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:44.240 the other side but that goes for both sides all of the internal cables are 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:47.040 black black black so they're sleeved 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 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:56.519 cables going into it there's your power LED hard drive LED reset switch your uh 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:59.560 front USB and your front HD audio is all 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.240 there uh here are the SATA cables for 00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:05.079 those hot swap Bays so you can either leave those in plug all these into your 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 00:13:06.680 --> 00:13:13.920 is I'd be removing them all finding somewhere else
