Below the 5.25" drive bays there are four 3.5" slots in a removable cage, two that are external and two which are internal. Behind the lower hard drive slots, there are two 60mm fans mounted for cooling the hard drives and case interior. The front ports connect directly to a motherboard internally as opposed to passing through the interior and exiting via one PCI slot to the rear ports. The front LEDS, buttons and ports connectors are clearly labeled, except the USB connectors. Consumers are advised to consult the manual for their particular motherboard in order to identify the location of these headers.

SilverStone has installed an 80mm fan as an exhaust as well as two 60mm intake fans in the front. These fans are made by Yate Loon Electronics, based out of Hsien, Taiwan. The 80mm (model number D80SM-12) fan is capable of pushing 28 CFM with a noise level of 32 dBA, while the 60mm (model number D60SH-12C) pushes 16 CFM with a noise level of 27 dBA. Both are standard ball bearing fans and produce a reasonable level of noise. Inside the case was a small box with a bag of all the necessary screws one might need to install the various components. Additional components include a security lock bracket used to stop case intrusion, extra slot cover and a instruction manual.

To provide an idea of the type of space that the SilverStone SST-TJ01 Temjin Mid-Tower Case can offer, I installed a power supply, AOpen AX3L motherboard, two CD-ROMs and two hard drives. With some planning for wire routing, the interior can clean up quite nicely providing an adequate amount of available room. For water cooling setups, the SST-TJ01 may be a bit cramped for space, but with carefully planning can be accomplished.

The SilverStone SST-FP52 Eudemon Temperature Monitor ships in a black cardboard box, suitable for retail display. The SilverStone logo is present on most sides and the back lists the features of the Eudemon as well as a picture to help install the device into the case chassis. Across the front of the Eudemon package, it states "The most perfect assassin looks nothing like one - Sexy sapphire neon background - Sophisticated electrinical technology". I don’t know what it means exactly, with the assassin and all, but does it sounds good! The front portion of the Eudemon is made from formed aluminum, brushed to match a few of the popular aluminum cases on the market, as well as the SST-TJ01 case itself. The front features two meshed holes; a LCD display and two control buttons machined like the SST-TJ01 power and reset buttons. One button on the SilverStone SST-FP52 Eudemon Temperature Monitor is labeled Mode and the other labeled Set.
