Anyone who has a TJ07, could you please post pics of how you setup your PC and your watercooling please
I'm building a new PC and would just like to get ideas. I've seen a few on the forums and especially masaville's. It just looks wicked!
So yeah, your pics would help me alot :D
Cheers fellas
wow, nice, didn't know you could turn the MB tray upside down :D
just wondering, would a CM Stacker cage fit in the bottom PSU area with a BIX3 and a MCR220 radiators?

and another :-
Thermochill pa120.3 in the base :-

GT rad in the roof, slightly changed from this pic, now the fans are on top and the rad is bottom. its a real tight fit.

It takes a bit of modding but the mobo tray can be flipped so you have an inverted ATX style case.Quote:

Completely agree. Crowded....heh.Quote:

Doing so allows you to put you pump/res down below or fasten a res like the EK to the motherboard tray. You have a lot of options with one rad and it keeps your drive bays free. I don't need more than two HD and one external USB drive so drive space wasn't an issue for me as much as it might be for others.
If you have a quad core and SLi or are into overclocking heavily it's not such a bad idea to go with two loops. If you select the right pumps you can fit two of them in the bottom of the bays and go with two EK150 reservoirs leaving plenty of free bays. Ideally, pumps with barbs that point in a single direction, like the MCP355 (http://www.petrastechshop.com/ladd1mcin12p.html), will help free up a lot of space if you put them in the bays. You can stack those pumps and the tubing won't interfere with bays as it did in my case.
Does anyone know if the 355 vs the 655 would make a temp difference? About 454 lph versus 1200. I don't have any personal experience with any pumps other than the 655s.
Can't complain about having two rads though. Keeps the system nice and cool and you can overclock like mad without crazy ceiling temps.
Looking forward to seeing your project post. =)
I plan on integrating a 360 and a 240 in the bottom, atm i only have a single 240 which is cooling my E6600. I'm not happy with the temps of my graphics and motherboard so I will be putting those on water as soon as I have finalised the equipment I want to get, my drives are kept in the 5 1/4" bays so I have the whole bottom of the case free :D
why do you guys always flip the mobo anyway? shorter routing of tubes or what?
The inverted mobo just seemed to make more sense to me. Especially for my build. It made my loop very small and tidy. But if you think about it there seems to be plenty of advantages to inverted. You move your cpu to the bottom of your case where it's cooler. The gpu seems to be able to more naturally exhaust it's heat. Also, looking at my loop, if I was to spring a leak at my cpu it wouldn't leak onto anything crucial. Plenty of reasons to invert. :)Quote:

I'm thinking of putting a dual 120mm rad up in the roof and a triple 360 rad in the bottom.
I've got 4 Raptors and its kinda a challenge. I want to avoid cutting anything in the case.
System I will be building is:
QX6700
EVGA 680i
2x 8800GTX
4x Raptors
Cooling system will be:
BIX3
MCR220
Laing DDC with petras
Laing D5
2x EK 150 res
EK NF 680i chipset WB set
I'm wanting to fit a CM stacker cage in the bottom area so I can have the top drive bays free.
Got two EK MultiRes 150's and will be setting up dual loops
thanks man.. makes a lot of sense :DQuote:

Good luck to you. I personally think the TJ-07 is much too small for what you are trying to accomplish.Quote:

LOL, 99.9% of the cases on the market are too small for you and your idea of proper wc'ing. :stick:Quote:

enjoy ladies :)
@welshtom i admire you're rad in the top there. could you explain how you did it and what modding it envolved? i would love to add a second rad to mine. cheers pie
lmk if want a pic of the pump etc
Pardon my ignorance, but is there a FAQ/post somewhere which describes how to invert the MB on the TJ07?Quote:

This rail is one of the only things in this entire case that is riveted in. Drill those rivets out and then you move the rail to the other side. The mobo tray isn't exactly symmetrical, so when you flip it over you actually have to raise the tray up 1/2" or so. You do that by raising that rail up a bit. Pretty easy stuff. A drill and some nuts and bolts are all you need.Quote:

so you have your pump running to the gpu before the cpu? would'nt you have better temps if you hit cpu before gpu?
Probably doesn't make much of a difference. Temps only vary a few degrees throughout the loop.Quote:

would'nt it be better to at least hit his res 1st?

Just put the fans you want to use in the Mesh bracket up the top, then use the bolts that come with the rad (Stealth GT) to screw down through the top of the mesh, through the fans and into the rad. Its nicer to get some smart socket cap bolts rather than the ugly ones that come with the rad.
thats it really

man this thread is like doolgasm

Looks great! Does that Scythe Kama meter control 4 fans?
I have that same Zalman controller, but I spraypainted the back of it black and now it looks like a black faceplate. You can't even see the blue tint anymore. Was going for an all black look. =)
Yes Kama Meter control 4 fans+4 temp sensor :)
Nice idea Zalman looks great in black :D
i do wish i got the tj07 with the see through side panel. cant buy it on its own ?
The TJ07 side panels are custom made for each individual case. So, no you can't get side panels by themselves. At least that's what Silverstone told me.Quote:

you see my red circle, there is a joint like that at the top on the same side, did you have to cut this off? otherwise how would you fit the dual rad in therE>?
he is using this one :Quote:

^^ nice what gfx card have you got? how did you manage to get 18k in 3d05 with an x1950xt
what made you change res?
Day use 1900gt Rev2
@Benchs Sapphire X1950Pro Dual Godfather:cool:

Old res is aluminium:shrug: This one is plexy;)
dual god father lol where can i buy that !!
oh and you are using primo flex, how does that compare to tygon?
also are you going to fit that maze or?
does that card have 2 cores?
sorry for all the questions
I buyed another Maze4 for second gpu i waiting this:D
Primoflex is very flexible and I think better than tygon:)
Yes 2 X1950Pro Core 512x2=1024mb GDDR3 36+36=72 pixel pipelines:)
Red One is 1900gt Rev2 :D:D:D Blue one Godfather

ooh I didn't know they were actually available yet.. nice :DQuote:

also 2x maze on that would be :eek:
I think tomorrow second Maze4 came :)
Well on this note, if one of you in the US has one of the drive cages from the lower portion of the TJ07 leftover I could use one. Drop a PM and we can straighten out the details.
:)
Ty
I think some one here did a comparison of different tubing..? can some one link me to it! lost it
I asked this in this sub-forum already, but I guess that I'll ask you TJ07 owners. Does it look like it would be possible to switch the door panels (ie flip them), especially the windowed one, in the case that you modded the mobo tray to flip?
doesnt sound possible at all.. and every time I seen flipped trays, they had no window on the case...
:shrug:
How is the rail fititng on the door, can it be swapper then you can have a window maybe
hmm try it, it may work
It'd be nice not having to cut anymore than you need to into a $300 case.:yepp:
Yeah i don't get that, why so god dam bloody costly
If you flipped it the window would be on the bottom and the vent would be on the top.Quote:

do you have to drill holes in the mobo tray in order to get your cables behind them or is there space enough between the mobo and the back of the tray ?
tks
also on a thermochill 120.3 are there on both sides screwholes for mounting fans?
on one side i have seen them but i need to know it for the other side.
tks
from the very first post, i knew this thread would have some sweet pics of sweet rigs.
http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/tom/Bry/forum/front.jpg
cant seem to find anymore with this one - will dig it out
Why ruin such a beautiful TJ07 by doing that :(
the 80's called. it would like it's vomit back.
The stand offs give enough room to put cables behind the motherboard.Quote:
