initally it was a TT armor build, which would be a revision to my existing
system but with some help this is now a completely new build just taking
my old cpu and putting it in this system. so im considering it a different
computer were before it was just a revision. anyways :up:

im warning you there are alot of pics and more to come. so that is the reason
why alot of the images are small so all users (maybe even 56k) can view
with ease.

lets begin.

say hello to TJ07, the box is just absolutely massive i mean a small family
could live in there comfortably. first impression of the TJ07 was wow.
every part of it is very nicely engineered but the the anodizing isnt that
good. not very strong and with further inspection the case had be touched
up with what i presume to be sharpies... but its ok. there small spots so
its not that big of a deal. no the less an amazing case

here i just put the anti cyclone to the test. i purchased it in case of any
cycloning but forgot that the supreme takes good care of that :shakes: (restrictive)
anyways was fun, found out the pump dumps alot of heat in to a loop but
thats a really short loop.

finally got home and opened everything, very impressed with all the parts
especially with the striker, i think they could of made the presidency much
more profound. some times see out of place and just over all design could
be improved but, hey what do i know, im just a designer.. :up: anyways

got another box filled with goodies. stripped the dominator fans, tapped the
thermal right back plate for m4 screws that came with the supreme, started
to install some stuff, put some LEDs behind the mobo for some back light.
not as effective as i thought. has noting to light up so might be changing
that little

testing the G11 also you can see that im testing my fittings which
consist of ek 1/2" barbs and a 1/2" copper elbow fused together seal with
some tubing. not a bad solution, pretty much like a compression fitting
no leaks, no issues, flow is good too :up:

also got my fans installed up top, cut down the wire and hide it out of site
i like to plan my wire management ahead of time. clean is always good

installed everything, tubed it up filled the loop and ran it for a few days my
HD were DOA which is ok b/c newegg replaced them for me which is nice.
found some nice green stuff floating around... so i drained the loop and
started to rethink the process. wanted to go dual loop but ill have to buy
a 240GTX and some DDC which i dont have the money for right now :shakes:
but a single loop proved to be pretty darn good.

hanging out... :rofl: clean it up, drained the system, boiled out the rad
rinsed the system out with distilled and i was back and running. finally
received my 775 plate. thanks eddy :yepp: looks really nice :up:

well those switches i bought from petra looked really really nastly. the used
some 12v lamp inside and was a yellow color which made the switch look
green so i dremeled some blue LEDs to size and shoved them in there inlined
a resistor and waa laa. a REAL blue rocker switch

mounted the radiator, fitted very nicely. did some painting. from personal
experience especially with metals i skip priming. all i do i give it a nice sanding
with 400 grit and clean it really well. then i just warm up the material before
painting and put down light coats and force dry them between each coat.
then a nice wet matte finish clear which i also force dry. comes out strong
and quite nice. cut a hole out on the dividing tray for cables. painted that tray
as well. picked up some plexi, got some special plans :) and made a plexi plate
for the switches in the front.

[QUOTE=smee;2818563How how was it to sleeve the ATX connecter?[/QUOTE]

I did mine on each wire and with 3mm sleaving and 2.5mm heat strink, took a good 2 hours but looks amazing

Oh my Goat that looks like pr0n. I just really love your products you chose and I like the 24pin sleeving. How did you dissasambled all 24 cables?

Damn, nice work; scratch that, amazing work. I would second the request for a comment about how to/painful doing the ATX 24pin like that is.

Wow. Well worth the "tease".

I love a CLEAN build. Makes me itch to get back to mine and finish it up.

ill take some pics of how i did it tonight, my mid term is over so im free for a few days. yay but we started a new 6 week project already... :(

thanks for all the nice comments ! :up:

whats up with the DEAD note its on the HDD's? They not working or something?

yea the drives were DOA went through the RMA process got them back brand spanking new from newegg. :up:

More and more I'm thinking of scrapping my TJ08 plans and getting a TJ07 to play with.

Awesome looking build, you have some of the coolest stuff, Evil. :up:

Wow, three dead HD's, someone must have packed them wrong or they just got pummeled in shipping.

yea i plugged them in turn the system on and i could smell burning. and electronic burning smell is very distinctive and i knew it was them.. tested them individually no go. RMA

It's finally here :)

my order from performance pcs came into day, but im at work right now.. so rawr

wow man alot of work has gone into this rig!!! looks awesome..

I like how you mounted you had's and with the raptor @ the front so you can see it doing it's thang lol.

Could you go into more detail how you did that mate?

I'm interested to see how you deal with the front of your tj07.

sure its best explained in this picture

i used the mounts from my scythe HD mounts that i was going to use but
decided to go with this solution. the only thing that i really needed to do
was tap the 4/40 holes on the mount to accept 6/32. i didnt have to but
wanted to :yepp:then the mounts screw directly onto the harddrive :)
which doubles for vibrations too

thanks for stopping by :welcome:

damn nice build man!!! makes my things looks crap now hahaha
