What do you think of my "water cooling" case design?

[whuzabi]

do u have one who build that awesome case ore is it only future design and hope ?!

[Mick64]

^ I can has invertedATX render, please?

I'll see what I can do. If and when I get some time.

We all live in hope! There is a possibility that a case will be built based on my design, but it's early days. Even if it does happen, it will be some time in the future. Sadly, it may never be a product available to purchase if production costs are not viable....

would you put some pictures of him with more hardware in the case painted red, because I think red would be much better and more beautiful!

Mick64 you have a stunning case design.

I am surprised that Silverstone has not advanced their TJ07 too this level of refinement. The triple chamber design to isolate the radiators is simply brilliant. Not to mention other features that you have thoughtfully and carefully designed as well. Extremely versatile design to say the least.

Right now I see no company providing a case that matches the style, features and capabilities of your case design. Particularly in regards to the form and simple beauty that your design evokes. Lian Li - Silverstone And versatility Mountain Mods

Getting back to functionality:

Fitting in two radiators at the bottom of the TJ07 has been the standard practice for years. Usually a triple rad along side a double rad. Or even a quad rad nesting with a double rad.

One rad pulling in fresh air and the other pulling the air out. Or One rad pulling in fresh air and the other rad pushing the air out. Or again One rad pushing in fresh air and the other rad pushing the air out. And so on and so on.

Fitting in two radiators at the bottom of the TJ07 is good, but still a compromise in performance - as neither radiator - is given proper access to a push/pull setup with shrouds.

I personally - do not like the idea of spending several hundred dollars on radiators and then not being able to get the performance I paid for.

Your design allows for maximizing radiator performance like no other case that I have seen on the market.

Lian Li ! Silverstone ! Mountain Mods! Step up to the plate please.

We as your customers; past, present and possibly future - Need this case.

Mick64 has just out-designed three major players in the pc case market.

Job well done Mick64

I am waiting very impatiently to purchase this case - Silverstone. If you want more of my hard earned money you are going to have to make major improvements on the TJ07.

I DON'T NEED TWINS !

I NEED THE Mick64 UltraFlow TJ08 !

[Ruroni]

Steeeeeel.

[Canine]

I would order one of these immediately, regardless of cost......NICE WORK!

[Ender17]

I would build my first watercooled PC if this case was available

[blaxtr3m3]

Beautifull, Amazing, The Right stuff!!!
you sir have just visualized my dream case FULL STOP
I am waiting impatiently to see who will bring this to the market.

This is my first post

[ILikeCosmosS]

you finally got it right

the screen at the top is perfect use

other than that fan controller you could switch out its perfect

in the red one the mobo looks inverted i think ?

lets get a window shot on both

[Bgriffs]

I'm more and more amazed every update. I've been considering the W/C plunge and this case would do it for me. Any of you vendors out there please take note and get this thing to market. Silverstone could do it. Perhaps we can get Redbeard at Corsair to take a peak for their new chassis line?

[dweldom]

Yeah I really like this desgin. It's very well planned out, and precise. I think this would sell if it was on the market. So get selling!

[whuzabi]

which case has inspired you ?!
maybe i think about to build this one :/

[Mick64]

Added some tubing. Two simple loops, one for the CPU and the other for the GPU's. Personally, I would also add motherboard cooling to the CPU loop as well, but haven't got time to add those in my render. Used black tubing with compression fittings. Kept the red theme, as I think it goes well with the motherboard and graphics cards....



Apologies, if you've already seen this in my other thread...

[The0men]

That look's terrific dude. I must say though, it is humongous lol.

[lkiller123]

To make it more overkill, better yet make another loop on NB/SB and the memory

[Ender17]

so do you have any plans on getting this manufactured?

[Economist]

Check Watercoolinguk forum. Marcus from watercoolinguk is working with Mick on the potential possibility in fabricating this case. It looks like Marcus will have a prototype in the near-ish future...

Yes this is true, but it's a long way from being a prototype! Don't get your hopes up just yet. Even if the prototype gets built, it doesn't mean that it will be available to purchase. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the final outcome, though!

Nice design. Dont sell it to other companies. Contact an engeneering firm that specialises into making custom metal pieces and ask them for the manifacturing price of lets say, 200 sample. You will need to provide them with CAD file extention or something more specific. Ask if there is anyone on the forums that can help you with this. The 3D concept you created is nice but maybe it doesnt follow technical constraints like bending metal/cutting type/price.

I can ask my friend if he can help you, he is a student at engeneering school.

[3Z3VH]

he has already been in contact with Protocase, who is exactly what you describe. They take anything from a full CAD drawing, all the way to a hand drawn picture on a napkin, and turn it into a working mechanical drawing of your case, and generate prototype cases based off that design.

[shogo_ca]

Ah i havent read all the thread i was actually about to call the School and ask them.. ehe.

Ok so tell us whats the news with Protocase then

[3Z3VH]

Nothing from Protocase, because apparently there is a place in the UK that was interested in doing it for cheaper

Worse comes to worse, though, I am thinking about getting Mick to send me the Google Sketchup drawing so I can get one built by Protocase, if nothing pans out with the UK thing.
