The TemJin 10 Case from Silverstone truly is a remarkable case. The engineers at SilverStone really outdid themselves with this case. It has really only one drawback and that was with the mounting system for the drives. Other than that there is no real downside to this case. It supports all of latest hardware. And offers an enthusiast a truly aesthetically pleasing enclosure to hold and protect what in most cases will be a very expensive computer system.

Silverstone have gotten everything just about right with this chassis, and more importantly, they have gotten nothing much wrong. There is no part of the case that seems poorly designed or tossed in as an afterthought. Sure, I'd prefer a different I/O panel option on the front/top of the case, I'd love even more flexible access with the motherboard tray,
and I think a couple of extra fans could be included for the price, but these are pretty niggley points that are in the end, personal preferences more than meaningful criticism. Taken as a whole, the chassis is well thought out, expertly executed, wonderfully finished, and is a pleasure to use.

The Olympia OP1200 1200W power supply delivers solid voltages, with excellent regulation and above average efficiency. It comes with sleeved cables and lots of connectors, which include two 8-pin EPS12V, four 6-pin PCI-e and two 8-pin PCI-e connectors. The enclosure is longer (220mm) than a standard ATX unit so the OP1200 might not fit some of the small PC cases. The Olympia OP1200 was quiet during normal operation and under load.

SilverStone has been producing amazing cases for a while, but for some, their best offerings are pricey. That's where the Kublai series comes into play. Built on the essence of the higher-end models, they attempt to pack quite a punch with their Kublai, all at an affordable price. Have they succeeded?

In today's review we will be looking at as the title suggests Silverstone's Strider modular 1000W PSU, the strider series has already proven itself to us with some solid rails as well as a decent modular system. Now with demands for more power from end users the latest incarnation of the Strider (ST-1000) will suit most needs.

In recent months 700 to 1000 watt monsters have been stealing the spotlight on the power supply stage. Many people may think the time of the 500 watt unit has come and gone, but that is just not the case. Believe it or not, 500 watt units can still hold their own and perform just fine on most systems, even some systems that many enthusiasts consider high end. Yeah, if you are running a quad processor, with six hard drives and two 8800GTX's in SLI, then you are going to want to pick up a PSU with a "few" more watts. But how many people do you know that have power sucking rigs like that? Or an even better question: How is this 500 watt unit going to hold up in an average enthusiast system? Follow along with us to find out...

Home theatre PCs are quite popular these days and this type of enclosures can be found in many flavors. Some HTPC enclosures come with lots of fancy features such as displays and remote controllers while other enclosures are more simple. If you have a pretty basic HTPC enclosure you might want to check out the SilverStone MFP51.

Today we're looking at a power supply that can power up the most power-hungry components inside the case, giving the continuous power of 1000 Watts for most demanding PC setups. SilverStone Strider 1KW not only provides the power, but also an advanced cable management, quiet operation and over power / voltage protection.

Mid-tower ATX cases have come a long way from their early beginnings as plain, beige boxes that collected dust under office desks. Most enthusiasts want to show them off and some make them the centerpiece of their workstations. One case that recently hit store shelves is the KL01 from Silverstone. The KL01 is a hybrid consisting of a steel chassis and aluminum panels, but it's design is very unique and should appeal to classier and sophisticated users.

Back during Computex Taipei 2007, David Lin had found the Kublai series among the many cases at SilverStone's booth. At that time the Kublai series wasn't officially announced so at first it wasn't know if David just had too much to drink at the previous night's party (like in the past at Computex Taipei) or whether the Kublai was actually a great find. Well, since then the Kublai series was officially announced as a cheaper alternative to the Temjin series while providing adequate cooling and quietness that computer enthusiasts have come to expect from SilverStone. At hand today we have the SilverStone Kublai KL02, which is one of the two cases currently making up this new ATX tower series.

So far to date, I have reviewed both the SilverStone TJ-06 and TJ-08. Now I am getting the chance to review the TJ10. (So? I like even numbers.) Anyway, in a word, this enclosure is HUGE. The delivery guy wanted to know if I was building some kind of super computer. Little did he know this delivery is the start of my global takeover. MUAHAHAHA! The SST TJ10 comes in two colors and two styles. The colors are silver and black, and the styles are windowed and non-windowed. The entire enclosure is constructed from aluminum to help lessen the weight, and boasts several unique features. As SilverStone offers well-constructed and -designed products, let's get on with the review to find out how the TJ10 stands up.

Over the last few years Silverstone have produced some of the top enthusiast cases and power supplies around and have brought their touch to each one. Another product they take a lot of pride in, is their fans. Today I have two of these with me, the FM83 and the FN122. Let's see if they smack of as much style as some other Silverstone products.
