Case Design for Liquid Cooling

[Sadasius]

I agree hopefully not Tt. Most of their stuff is junk and only a few models I do like. I am thinking this design would be in line with Silverstone.

[ILikeCosmosS]

+1 silverstone

if they name it i would call it tj-07 premium edition

[Metric]

Great news Mick
Any possibility on telling us which company was interested?

[NysoO]

Looking real good for WC, which it is designed for. Not sure about the front though, It looks a bit plain with just a 5,25 hole and a big fan, I'm not saying it is ugly, just saying that It could be improved . Other than that, it looks nice.

[Hens]

I love it, my only suggestions for a cleaner look would be to somehow make the front fan stand out less.

And hide the i/o ports somewhat.

Good work though!

[Devil_Dog]

You build it. We buy it!!!

Very nice!!!!!

[ILikeCosmosS]

i like how the power reset button side is placed
but those usb and sata and firewire just gotta be put differently

i like the big 230 sticking out and get some red leds on that it would look really nice

personal preferance i like the fan the way it is

[CmB]

You know how I feel about. I like and let me know when/if I can preorder.

Hopefully not TT :P

I'd hate to see what they would do with it

Maybe THAT was what the "modular" case was about !

[jtdigital]

how many hours did it take you to sketchup the pic?

[Mabyboi]

let us know when it goes into production, we definantly want some!

[thehighlander1]

sub 300 and it'd be mine

I would buy this ASAP. Just awesome. I have been looking or a case like this for a while. Who needs 6 5.25" front bays? This is a much better use of space.

If you could even provide another mounting location for pumps and res, it would be absolutely perfect. That might be asking too much though.

[Alex Suraci]

Looks perfect, functionally, but I'm personally not a fan of the way the grills and window are in the side panels. In particular, how they're sunken into it and the panel has that bevel around it.

Aside from that, ace job. I'd still buy it, I'm sure those parts would look better IRL.

dude the way it is looking I could pack everything I have in my Extended Ascension into this thing (2 x 480s up top, 1 360 and a 120.2 at the bottom) but the only problem would be where I would place my auxiliary PSUs for my Iwaki RD30 well anyways AWESOME stuff and congrats on the reply

[Taylor01]

I am just wondering if the bottom of the case is as nice as the top of the case. So I could take off the feet and use it as HTPC desktop. That is one thing that nobody makes is a decent HTPC case for water coolers and overclockers as I don't care for MM with all the visable screw heads! Nice!

seriously i want to know of a system that would need all that radiage! , other than making a waterbox for "SEVERAL" systems there is no need to have that many radiators.

We're at Xtreme Systems we will find a need for it

[Xiphoid]

I think I've fallen into the same group as everyone else: "I love it and would pick it up for <$300"

[marauder16]

for a tower case this one seems perfect, it has space for everything. though I'm in a cube-stage right now, MM cubes are in my interest know. But if I'd buy a tower, it would be this one

If you are going to say something isn't right.... tell him how it SHOULD be... don't just say "They have to be put differently."

The Firewire port was removed AFAIK... and I feel the placement of the ports is fine.

As far as LEDs in the fan go, the case will have a spot for mounting a fan. Go ahead and put whatever fan you want in there. For us that don't like their case illuminating the entire room, and being a huge source of glare, we will buy fans with no LEDs.

there is xtreme and there is absurdity!
other than e-peen wowness there is no possible use for that many rads in one system.

Tri Sli/Quad Fire + Dual cpu(biggest heat load right now would not need 2 480 GTX +1 360(assuming Feser) and 120.2(PA ?)

well maybe on a quad loop but may the lord of water cooling have mercy on his soul if he tries to quad loop internally.

[Mr_Mike]

Nice work

[b@llz0r]

Great design.

Id extend the 5.25 bays by two at least as this would be a two loop minimum case, would be nice to have space for two dual bay res's an odd and fan controler.

why not extend the bays all the way down like the TJ07?

Only thing i dont like is the big fan on the front... with all those rads sucking air in you dont really want another fan blowing more air in

[step]

Me likey alot.

Few things I would believe making your idea sell better:

Remove front HDD placement and have HDD holders much like seen in TJ07's at the top and bottom (ie 4 at the top and 2 at the bottom). Easier to market to server / enthusiasts who have much more HDD's (ie me with 10).
Have the front extend down with bays - personally I'd only ever use one for the DVD drive, but others have bay reservoirs, sound card front modules etc.
Ability to have PSU mounted at the top and bottom.

Personally I would love to see a wider one where I can mount the radiators at the top and bottom and still be able to mount a HDD cage infront of the airflow. Kill two birds and still have awesome storage capacity.
