Thanks guys for all of the wonderful and gracious comments. I will try to continue the trend and raise the bar when and where I can.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the photos, I probably overloaded you with them, but I guess that's just my style.

As for the camera and lens I use a Canon 30d with the EF-S IS 28-135mm lens. I'm keen to learn more about photography and acquiring a few new lens's to play with.

I dont think that it is even possible to "overload" us with photos when a rig is this beautiful.
Excellent build, and fantastic photography.:up:

You keep raising the bar, and ill keep chearing from the sidelines!:clap:

BlueAqua, I have three questions:

1) how did you mount HDD vertically ?
2) what is that under the radiator ?
3) how you open the DVD tray ?

Perhaps I can answer for BA quickly for you.

1) He used the HDD cage from the bottom of the TJ-07 and used it vertically as it fits nicely in the optical cage.

2) The radiators are mounted to the case using Murdermod Rad mounts that are sticky on the top so the rad just sits on them negating the need to make a custom mount

3) The Optical tray is opened by an ingenious systems used by Charles_Harwood and Nils from Murdermod on their Stealth faceplates. Designed for the Pioneer DVD drives, the uppermost part of the hydro cut alu has enough play to be depressed and make contact with the eject button of the drive. Works amazingly well :up:

Well, not really mate. ;) Those are just Hammond asbk 1591 boxes with double sided tape on top. Not neccesarily Murder|Mod boxes.
With google you should be able to find 'm. I even found 'm locally. :)

BlueAqua,

Love the build nice work, one question what do the temps get to with zero airflow inside the case?

Obviosuly you have all major components watercooled, but what about the minor things like hard drives, south bridge, ram etc. Just curious.

Again, great work.

Oh yeah, is that white heatshrink on the tubing?

Thanks.

Thank you. Since I'm using the northbridge block which cools the entire heatpipe assembly I haven't had any issues with motherboard temperatures. My north bridge never gets over 50C, and that to me is just fine. The hard drives are cooled with a 120mm fan directly over the top of them, no problem there. The ram is cool to the touch, I just don't think ddr3 at 1.65v gets too warm.

The tubing is Danger Den-TFC 3/8" 5/8" white tubing. I really like this tubing, along with the other various colors you can get it in. I have bought samples of each just so I could see them all. Very good stuff.

Thanks for the kind words.

Ahhhh ... just had to get my weekly fix of your pics.

I love the white on black. But I realized another thing that makes your build look so good - it's not crowded, and your sleeving is top notch. I noticed how mine improved as I kept going, but the fact that you got the sleeving so nice and tight makes it drape nicely.

amazing system, can you repost the video? can't get it to work
also, any possibility of a straight on shot of the side? and maybe some pics of the wire routing in the front?
thanks

Thanks shazza. There is room for improvement but I'm working on that right now. The next build with using the hot knife will be even better.

Thanks Ender17.

Here are the two videos, one is just some pictures but the other one shows it in operation and the lighting. Both are with the older 775 setup though.

I didn't take any pictures of the front with the face plate off. That was the power distribution and extra cable area. It was all neatly organized but it wasn't the most attractive area.

It is such an awesome, inspiring custom case Blue, I'm so impressed, and I wanna mod my TJ07 now too. :)

thanks for the video links!
any chance of a straight on side shot? (no angle) I would like to get an idea of some of the spacing between the motherboard and the 5.25 bays
thanks again!!

Man that pc is really really nice. How do you do your mods? Do you have a laser cutter or water jet? I wish I had the money to buy such equipment. Great work, probably one of the best builds I've ever seen.

I would like to learn some techniques from this guy. Man if I could get some advice, it would really help me in my upcoming build.

Beautiful pc man!

I just didn't like any of the pictures that didn't have some sort of perspective to them so I didn't include any. Don't worry, there is something in the works soon that should include more detailed shots.

All of the intricate cutting is done with a highly precise water jet that is surely not done by me. The case is a murdermod TJ07 complete with all the bells and whistles.

If you have any specific questions there are a ton of great people here to help. Post away.

The "perspective" shots are cool, but I think it's also good to have some regular ones without crazy angles for when people want to see a more "normal" view.
BTW, what kind of OC do you have on the i7? And what kind of load temps?

That is such a great idea. I was actually thinking if there are local shops in my area that can do such work. I just don't know how I would present such a project. Do you draw a sketch and bring it to them or is it drawn with autocad?

I do have some ideas, but I just do not have the tools to do such a thing. Some tools I can buy locally that could cover some of the mods, but definantly not all of them if I choose to do so. And again man nice work!
