My first impressions of the SilverStone Temjin SST-TJ06 Case after removing the packaging were extremely positive. Out of the box the case speaks volumes in terms of aesthetic design and craftsmanship similar to previous SilverStone cases that I have reviewed in the past. The case measures approximately 205mm (W) x 566mm (H) x 474mm (D) and is considered a heavy weight at 11 kg. SilverStone has taken a simplistic approach towards the overall design of the Temjin SST-TJ06 by focusing a good portion of detail on the front aluminum bezel. The look is very classy and sophisticated with beveled edges and sleek anodized aluminum external panels. The middle portion of the case features countersunk Power and Reset buttons as well as Power and HD activity LED's. The Power and Reset buttons are crafted and polished from solid aluminum blocks as well as feature chrome-like rings that are created meticulously with an expensive diamond cutting process. This feature is standard on all the SilverStone Temjin and Lascala series of cases. The buttons are also surrounded by stealth intake vents with an incorporated grill that allows good air circulation and acts as a dust filter. Towards the top portion of the case is the embossed SilverStone logo in white lettering. The SilverStone Temjin SST-TJ06 Case supports mATX, Full ATX and Extended ATX motherboard formats and does not ship with an included PSU. Consumers have the option of selecting from SilverStone's SST PSU models which range from 300W to 460W.

The front bezel of SilverStone Temjin SST-TJ06 Case features 5 external 5.25" drive bay slots that are held in place via two support screws. All the drive bay covers are perfectly flat and suitable for mounting existing pre-made devices such as LCD's, front port extenders or fan controllers. Towards the middle section of the case are two accessible external 3.5" drive bay slots, which are suitable for mounting floppy, temperature monitoring or card reader devices.

The SST-TJ06 incorporates a small chrome lock that is embedded into the left side of the front bezel and uses a set of keys which are included in the package. The lock is a welcome addition for a server environment since it is the ideal solution for added security and acts as a deterrent for chassis intrusion. Below the chrome lock is the location for the front mounted ports. The ports include four USB, Firewire, Headphone and Microphone ports. The ports are connected to a series of extender cables which must be connected to the proper headers on a motherboard prior to use.
