SilverStone's latest miniature case manages to impress despite its diminutive size.

SilverStone has been around long enough to know good case design, and the TJ08-E is an exemplary showcase of that; though the 'E' stands for 'Evolution' and hints at marketing buzzwordery, this really is a thoughtful improvement on the now-classic TJ08 design.

Gone is the strange side intakes of yore, and gone is the old way of thinking - the TJ08-E relies on only a single 180mm fan at the front of the case to provide cooling for the entire system.

It's much shorter than the original, too, and will accept motherboards up to Micro ATX in size. Whatever you do choose to install will be flipped on its head; this case is not the now-defunct BTX or DTX, but rather is Inverse ATX.

So while the graphics cards will now be at the top and the CPU bits at the bottom, there's still more to see about this case (which we'll elaborate on in a later review), so for now head into our gallery of pictures to get intimate with the SilverStone Temjin TJ08-E case.
