Yes, another TJ-07 mudermod, sorry.
I think it's just the most beautifull case for watercooling, so why not take something beautifull and try to make it even better?
The idea is a single loop for cpu and graphics card cooled with a PA120.2 and a PA 120.3, both hidden in the bottom section.
This is gonna be cramped but doable, a nice challenge.
You won't find any ground shaking inovative ideas in this thread and a number of things are just a 1:1 copy from Charles but i hope it will still be interesting enough to see for some.
Let's start off with some pics, shall we?
The case stripped to the bone

With everything apart it was easy to make some holes in the mobotray

Close up hole for the 24pin ATX cable and 8pin PCI-e cable and maybe even the sata cables

With the aid of a stepped drill and a dremel. I killed a cordless dremel in the process...dont ask. :D
A hole in the midplate behind the mobotray for nice cable management (thanks Charles)

With all the drilling and dremeling done it was time to sleeve the frontpanel wires and hide the pcb with one of those famous Hammond boxes :)

Can you say fingerprins? :D The M3 screws will be replaced with black ones as soon as i've found some.
Sleeving can be pretty addictive, soon i was a slave for sleeving and sleeved some extenders

As i'm planning to get a new PSU i didn't want to go through all the trouble of sleeving all the wires seperately so instead i took those extenders.
That's about it for now, the parts are at the powder coater and i'm waiting for a truckload of stuff to arrive.
More to come. ;)
