Could any of you nice fellas post temp difference. From looking at sites the FT02 is cooler but only by very little tbh.

Here an open bench is as good as the FT02

I don't know, maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way, since good temps are always a combination of things that make a small difference and not of one single things. But still considering the amount of unobstructed airflow, and brilliant motherboard placement it's kinda disapointing.

Not sure if I'm missing something, those reviews seem to agree that the cooling is excellent.
My favorite case reviews usually happen here:

The cooling performance of the FT02 and RV02 is very similar, so they didn't redo their tests - which I don't like, but here's the link anyway:

There was also a thread here recently where a forum member switched from a P182 (P180? don't remember), and the numbers he got were pretty dramatic. Keep in mind, too, that the case does this and is still quiet.

just got my TJ10-BW. I gotta say, this case screams of high quality! However, I've noticed the side panel does NOT sit completely flush. I'm giving Silverstone a call monday-tuesday and tell them of the issue. Since they are like 10 minutes away from me, I figure they'll give me a quicker solution than amazon will...
