Installation
With the number of wires coming back from the bezel, we were reminded of the frustration that we developed when working with the Thermaltake Damier V6000A. It had so much wiring in it, we thought it would take hours to install hardware and connect the ends of the wires to the components.

We did not have as much trouble with the TJ05, though. There was not as much wiring in the TJ05, and in turn, required less time to install all of the components in our test bed. The small mess of wiring could have been reduced further by grouping each bundle into their own separate shrinkwrap jackets.
The Seagate SATA HDD required some effort to push into the removable carriage because the plastic drive rails were a bit too thick. Once in, though, the drive was set firmly in place and safe from any sort of vibration that may occur with a loosely mounted drive.

We also were happy to see the amount of space between the motherboard and power supply when both were installed. There was a little over an inch between the two components providing enough space to work with both pieces of hardware.

Why does the reviewer call a concave door "convex"?JustAnAverageGuy - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - link

Wow, that's a really nice looking case. Great review, and thanks for picking a non-ugly case to review this time. :)Almost makes me wish I had waited until now to build my machine... I like that case a lot better than my current one.

Finally a case that does not burn out your retinas by looking at it. Great review.P.S. Is there a Thermaltake Tsunami Case Review in our near future? :D

I appreciate the inclusion of more pictures showing the case with the components installed. For example, seeing a full size motherboard installed gives me a better feel for the actual dimensions of the case, and I can see how easy it would be to work inside of it. The highlighting of the space between the bottom of the power supply and the motherboard is also important to me, since you sometimes have to worry about CPU heatsinks overhanging the edge of the board, depending on how close to the motherboard edge the socket is placed.Thanks for the review.

Agreed with #1...Deinonych - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - link
Looks like the author edited the sentence, so n/m.Deinonych - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - link
#2I agree. In context, it seems like the author meant to say "an entirely ALUMINUM chassis would have appealed more..."
