Today i decided to follow some advice of Highland3r and take my pc out of my case (that and my coolermaster atcs-201 is 5 years old and its showing its age a bit (4*80mm fans))

Here is the results

ive since added a 80mm fan to the side of my 120mm fan on the TR HR-03-Plus to cool the pwm's and anthing else that isnt covered by the 120mm.

I love the way the case was built and there is plenty of room for what ever your trying to accomplish.

The WC kit was not to shabby either. While it is no high end by any means, it is certainly getting the job done on my E6600.

[k00lance]

Well built case, but it is way overpriced for such a limited case.
They could have added more bay area for expansion.
Y50,000 + extra for the optional case feet and PCI cooler.
I think I saw this case at user's side in akiba.
Where did you buy from? Through a deputy service?

It's really difficult to get it, Soldam is only interested to sell this within Japan..so when I could, I got a few extra pieces as well if anyone's interested.

Hoshino(Soldam) is selling this case on their website(11 in stock) and you can find it cheaper.
So I take it you bought it while you were in Japan?

Actually pictures don't do them justice, I had a TJ-07 and when you compare the quality of the finishing interior and exterior, the Soldam is a notch above.

Yep, had to agree that it's a bit small in space though.

Iceflight and a few others were the guys behind our purchase from soldam.

Yes, iceflight and i are from singapore and i got my soldam thru him too.

We had a mass order over in VR zone forum when soldam was having a sale for their casing and stuffs. We got them to ship over for us without us stepping into japan. :)

Pictures dun do justice to soldam, their build is really top notch.

[bluep3ace]

is the altium super x the older version of the altium fc500?

[ragnarok95]

Yes. Mine is the last super X. 2007 design. FC500 is the new model. But i still cant see any diff beside the change of feet. the internal are still the same for both FC500 and superX.

The case uses a double-box construction, very similar to Lian Li's S80. It actually pulls fresh air to the front fans through vents on the back of the side panel.

[Raikiri]

Those Soldams are sooo ugly! The front is way to boring.

Don't you have a P180?

One of the few cases that has a plainer front than the Soldam cases, just built worse and generally look worse :p (imo of course, but not the plain part)

I didn't say anything about your case. I think Hoshino makes some great cases.
Ownage is the one who called your case ugly. :rolleyes:
I was just letting you know this case is not that hard to buy as you wish to be.
There's plenty of stock here:

http://www3.soldam.co.jp/case/alcadia_xr_pro/2007/index.html

If I really wanted this case, then I could always ask my friend in Japan to buy me one or I can fly to Akiba, JP on my way to watch PrideFC this year and buy one. It is THAT easy.
Why won't I buy this case? Because I just found my dream case. :D

[ragnarok95]

And yes, but pls, thats japan, thats lots of stock. And its expensive if they are not going for a sales on it.

Hard to buy? You need to have a japan contact before you can buy if you intend to ship. Yes, you can buy from japan, and the tax you going to pay there, is going to kill you. A few friends i know bring it in themselves, tax kill them deeply.



Talk is easy. Doing the actual thing is hard. IF you are a adult, you should know this simple point. ;)

That is very depressing to look at, someone buys one of the best cases and doesn't tidy up the wiring. I hope he tidies things up whilst installing the watercooling.

If he doesn't tidy that up, I'm going to shave his dog. :fact:

lol. i dont see any room in there for water cooling. there is no way a 120.3 will fit in that case that i can think of. it miighhhtttt just fit where the HDDS are, going across the length of the case, but i doubt it with that huge PSU.

Rad could be put on the top, externally with the fans inside... alternatively removing the GFX coolers should free up enough space to mount a rad on top but internally.

he couldnt get a thermochill internally even with the graphics coolers removed. the thermochills are 61mm thick. thats almost 2 and a half inches. look at this pic from a rig darth beavis built. its using thermochill 120.3:

That is correct; there is absolutely no room inside the case to mount the radiator. Instead, I'm mounting the radiator on the back of my case, using a 120x38mm fan shell as a standoff. There is sufficient clearance to connect cables to the sound card, and the radiator does not obstruct the power cord socket.

Which app are you running on the g15 in that pic?

It is Ez_System_Monitor v0.8

[Metric]

:eek: what's temps like?
Usually idling around 40-42. At 45 right now (Had a render going overnight). Heavy load (4 cores @ 100%) gets it up to mid-50's.

It's just that I'm too lazy to stick the fan brackets back on :p: (Really annoying with the evga northbridge heatsink in the way)

Thx:up: You might also want to try PCwizard2007. The latest version has G15 LCD support. It shows stuff like cpu temp, cpu load, cpu speed and cpu voltage. Plus, you can have some more info in one of the corners of your PC screen. Like GFX temp and cpu core temps. I love it.

Did you cut holes in the motherboard tray to get the wires that hidden? I ahve almost the same setup. I didn't cut any holes, but I have everything tied down nice and tight.

iirc they are just shower tubes. you know, the things that join the shower unit to the head? (what they called?)

[nike]

@Origin_Unknown: yes these metal cables are these so called shower tubes as u said. they look insane, i also got these thingies in my comp. just rewired the psu and it looks damn awesome.
@DAE_JA_VOO: When i saw this i thougt this was ORAC3 with another name and in blue, but it looks awesome, love this style

[Moe_Szyslak]

Hahaha, it's ingenious and it looks awesome.

[f250bax]

Did you cut holes in the motherboard tray to get the wires that hidden? I ahve almost the same setup. I didn't cut any holes, but I have everything tied down nice and tight.

Yeah, I used a dremel to cut out holes for everything. Was a little aggrevating, but helps hide all wires.

[bluep3ace]

@DAE_JA_VOO: Orac3 much?

couldn't find my camera so i used the camcorder.
61722
just put in a fan. the computer didn't suffer from heat problems, but the LEDs are more colorful. it was actually quite pointless to do this, because now i can actually hear my computer. i had the fan lying around. this computer is tentative, i got it for $500 last year.

ps. GUESS THE SPECS!

I have a different mobo, but it is the same size. I saw another Armor case just like that in cable management quality. I would love to do it, but I have no idea where to cut without screwing things up. I want to be able to use the case again in another build in the future. I know you couldn't have cut holes in the places where the ATX standoffs would be. Is there a work log or something that I could see to help me get it that clean. Mine is nice and tidy, though. I used some adhesive vinyl zip tie holders, and zip tied everything to the back. I walso routed the cables along the sides as much as I could. I put the fan power cables behind the motherboard tray. Could we see a pic of the other side with the panel off?

Don't have a work log, but heres some pics to show you some close ups and a pic behind the tray. I will have to modify my cabling when I upgrade later, but not worrying about that until then.

Thanks for your comments guys :D


How are your temps? Bet you could do a little better without all those in the way.
My temps aren't too bad. CPU temp is rarely over 42, the two video cards seldom go over 40 degrees. Only high temp i have is the chipset, which is generally around 45. Hard drive temps seldom exceed 30. It's all watercooled, except for the chipset :D


i'm actually more intrigued as to what he has in there that requires *all* those cables etc - it seriously doesnt look like it has that much hardware to warrant all those cables! i mean, come on!
Believe it or not, but every single cable serves a purpose. They all power something somewhere ;)


DAE_JA_VOO Did you get that idea from ORAC3 over at bit-tech?
Yep, ORAC was my inspiration ;)


Wow dae ja voo. That looks amazing. But what the hell are those metal cables for? Those are insane :D
The metal ones (shower hose) are all the main power, like HDDs, video cards, mobo, etc etc etc ;)

If you guys want more info about my mod, have a look HERE (www.daejavoo.com). It's called Epiphany. You'll see the link there ;)

[Moe_Szyslak]

Nice website:up: But is there anything in the case besides cables?:p: I've looked at it from all angles but I couldn't see anything.

EDIT: Never mind. I just saw the pics on your website. Now I know why I didn't see anything. I love the LED optical guide. I might just try that sometime.

I removed the screw on that end as it wouldn't even fit with it on, so it is only on with the top hanger. I also added electrician tape to the bottom of the OCZ cooler just in case it does hit something.

Not too bad, but without having much of an opportunity to see inside there it looks like you could do a better job of cable routing. Drill some holes in the MB plate and rout the PSU cables behind, between it and the back of the case.

[Jsunn]

I will take a look, I think that the other case face is riveted in place and can't be removed. I will take a look.

Well I have finally gone and got a case.

Amazingly quiet. The loudest part is the hard drive. :)

Well I have finally gone and got a case.

Amazingly quiet. The loudest part is the hard drive. :)

Watercooling will go in next week once I get some more stuff. I will have to count my birthday monies and see what can be done about that Ultra.
