How should I compare TJ07 and TJ09?

[FatboyHK]

Seem TJ07 looks more sexy.... but technically, how do they compare to each other?

I believe the TJ09 is the newer model, and may have some nifty new features, but I dunno.

The tj07 is nice and all, but I think the tj09 is just hands down the sexiest case around..

The TJ07 is slightly larger, and houses quite a few more fans over the Tj09. Also has more 5.25" external bays.. Also, the tj07 doesnt have a 3.5" external bay, where the Tj09 has 1.

Cooling wise, both should do the job extremely well.. but with all of the fans in the TJ07 I think it may come out on top. (by a degree? lol)

Noise.. well.. TJ09 wins with two fans vs 6.

TJ09 for air, TJ07 for water.

Either case will do a fantastic job of cooling your components. The TJ09 for example has excellent video card cooling potential, it also has room for 5 120mm fans! which by today's standards, is more then enough to cool any computer out there. The TJ07 on the other hand is made from thicker aluminum, and has far more drive bays. Let's put this into perspective here...both these cases can handle anything out there, they're both high quality, and offer excellent features. Go with what you like more! Take me for example, I have a rather "old" TJ06 which "only" houses three fans (2X120mm, 1X80mm), and I have yet to find myself in a position where I needed more cooling or features. I would just go with what you prefer, since both cases offer their own advantages and disadvantages. If I was in the market for a new case, I'd definitely pick up a TJ09. God, those cases are so stunning.
