The TJ08's front is made from light weight aluminum and has a brushed finishing. The rest rest of the case is made from steel, yet the overall weight doesn't show this right away, the different panels are held together by a large collection of screws, you can almost completely disassemble the case as only a handful of rivets are used here.

Removing the front panel requires quite a bit of screwing, but it does give you access to the dust filter which is installed in front of the in-take 120mm fan. Easier access to this dust filter would have been great.

The motherboard tray can be removed easily, after you have unscrewed the side panels, by sliding the tray to the front a bit, then you can swivel the tray outwards and remove it from the case.
