SilverStone SST-TJ05B or CoolerMaster Wavemaster (Black)

I am trying to weigh the pros/cons of these two cases:
SilverStone SST-TJ05B LINK
CoolerMaster Wavemaster (Black) LINK

Any of you build systems with either of these two lately. I would appreciate your thoughts and insight.

THANKS in advance!!!
 
I have done a few in the Tejmin...they are incredible. Wonderful to use. Plenty of room, good cable managment options, almost completley tool less design. The stock paint is beautiful as well...but I have also had smooth do paint for some of my customers.


Never used a Wavemaster but I imagine they are similar. Very popular, they are. (I just had a yoda moment....sorry)

Either way you wont be sorry.
 
I have a wavemaster. IMO the stock fans/holes are pretty lame for case air circulation. You have two 80mm fans that are mounted in the bottom front of the case. These take in "fresh" air through little drilled holes that are behind that piece in the front that says coolermaster. Then is has one 80mm case fan in the back. THEY COULD HAVE FIT TWO BUT DIDN'T. You could put an 80mm blowhole fan on top but I really don't like how it doesn't take in much fresh air in the front. I ended up removing the whole bottom section of the front of the wavemaster, and I'm going to cut up the back to accept two 80mm fans.

Otherwise the case is sleek and nice. Everything is made of nice aluminum so it looks sweet. The construction is also sturdy and the removable mobo tray is a godsend. Hope this helps.
 
The 3x80mm fans on the coolermaster are very poor IMO. I would expect more from a $150 Case. Never used either just my 2 minute analysis.
 
They both look good, but IMO are both crappy cases.. I want a wavemaster so bad, but the ventilation sucks, and the inside is not so big.
the SilverStone just looks like a mess inside, and I don't like it past the front panel.
out of the 2 though, i'd go with the CoolerMaster, as it's 100% aluminum.. the Temjin is still a steel case.
