Yes you read it right...Another Tj07 build

[xxh1tm4nxx]

Hey guys, just after completing my build not more than a couple of months back, im starting a new one. seriously this is now becoming an addiction.

So for starters. The spec sheet. Still unconfirmed. Will be deciding on the parts as i keep moving along.

- Intel Core i7 980X Processor (confirmed and ordered)
- Gigabyte X58A-UD7 motherboard (confirmed and ordered)
- Corsair Dominator GT Ram modules 6GB (confirmed but yet to be ordered)
- Soundcard (undecided but preferably creative)
- 2X Nvidia GTX480 SLI (unconfirmed. if nvidia brings new gpu's out soon then ill change)
- 4 SSD's. 1x128GB Corsair (already owned) 1x256GB Samsung (already owned) 2xG.Skill Phoenix II 256GB SSD's (unconfirmed, still thinking about it)
- Be Quiet 1000W Modular PSU (confirmed and already own)
- Blu ray Reader (confirmed but yet to be ordered)
- 3X Alienware 120Hz LCD's (confirmed but yet to be ordered)

Now the watercooling Spec sheet:
EK-Supreme HF - Blue Plexi/Chrome
2xEK-FC480 GTX - Nickel
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (240)
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (360)
2xDanger Den/Laing DDC 3.25 -12V 18 Watt Version
Frozen Q Liquid Fusion Reservoir
EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Advanced as a backup since the frozen q tends to leak every now and then
XSPC Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir for Single Laing DDC
Bitspower Compression Fittings
Feser Tubing White and Blue
Feser Clear/Uv blue coolant

Theme that i decided for this project is White and Blue. I always wanted to do a build in white so thought why not do it this time. I will try to get everything painted in this colour scheme from the case itself to the power supply to the Cpu block.

This build will take some time since i have not even ordered the WC parts or most of the main components as well. As you guys can imagine, this kind of setup requires deep pockets which unfortunately i dont have at the moment. So as i keep saving money, ill keep ordering.

Stuff that has been done uptil now.
MDPC-X Sleeving was ordered and arrived
Be quiet dark power pro 1000w Psu arrived
Gigabyte X58A-UD7 motherboard is on its way.
Already own the Tj-07

Paint Job on the tj-07.






Paint Job on the Be quiet dark power pro Psu:





Sleeving Partially done:




I plan to use a sandblasted glass panel instead of the mid plate. This build is very much inspired from the murder mod builds. Top mesh grill will also be replaced by a thin glass panel to see the internals. Thats it for now. hope you guys like the build Oh and sorry for the long story:P

Looks great so far, love the paint job, and sleeving to match. Will be watching this one for sure.

[xxh1tm4nxx]

Thanks Wood much appreciated

[Red-5]

Have to agree. Love the blue stripes on the case and your PSU. Great start and looking forward to seeing more.

[ScottALot]

With creative ideas and paint jobs like that, the TJ07 will never get old.

[luke997]

Looks like... another great and interesting build!

Very nice hardware choice and excellent paint job, looking forward to see the progress.

P.S. If you have ordered Liquid Fusion very recently (V revision with screw in ends), no need to worry about leaks- unless you crack it with a hammer

New update
time for update. well not a big one but shifted to my new room today and started working on the 24 pin connector.

My shiny new workbench

Psu Stripped out

This is what 100 meters of MDPC-X white sleeving looks like

Attack of the cables

New Room with new setup

My new CD rack


@ luke...bro i ordered around 3-4 months back first....it got cracked..then he sent out a new revision....that got cracked...n now he says another new version is out....so im a bit doubtful to be honest. havent had a very good experience with liquid fusion to be honest with you

[weston]

sweet paint job man. Makes me want to bust out the airbrush and do some work on my own case! Good luck with the build

[WoodWorker420]

100 Meters of white MDPC sleeve How much heat shrink was purchsed to go with the white sleeve? Also if you dont mind, how much of the accent sleeve and associated heatshrink was purchased? I have wanted to sleeve my new Revolution +85 but have never dont the proper calculations yet I know, I know

Like the workstation as well. As a cabinetmaker a nice workstation goes along way with me!

[offmarsboy]

man i love your paint job, i have a CM690 white with black stripes. Stripes give very good look to the case. Can´t wait to see your finished

[xxh1tm4nxx]

thanks for the appreciation. The paint job was actually done by a friend of mine.

Time for teeny weeny update:
More Sleeving in progress pics. (i guess you guys must be getting bored that all you have to see is sleeving pics in the updates but ill show you why its taking so much time)

45 Minutes after starting working on the sleeving i got here


This is how a normal wire looks like


This is how it looks like after applying a electrical tape coat. Trust me its really frustrating to do this


After 1 and a half hour i get to


So first its stripping the wire out, then a coat of electical tape, then sleeve then put the wire back in. Reason for electrical tape is to protect the coloured wires being seen through the white sleeve. Anyways thanks for looking

100 Meters of white MDPC sleeve How much heat shrink was purchsed to go with the white sleeve? Also if you dont mind, how much of the accent sleeve and associated heatshrink was purchased? I have wanted to sleeve my new Revolution +85 but have never dont the proper calculations yet I know, I know

The 100 meters of sleeve comes with 10 meters of heatshrink with it as far as i remember. Even if it doesnt now you know how much is needed:P

On mdpc site it is recommended that you need 1 meter of heatshrink for every 10 meters of sleeve. I purchased 40 meters of blue sleeve with 4 meters of blue heatshrink.

[zigzag]

Haha i know your pain with insulation tape over wires, just had to do the same, albeit not as much white as you. I done it differently though, length ways. Put the wire on the edge of tape, then rolled the wire as if you were rolling a doob

But its still a ballache xD

[malkiewicz]

You could have used white primer or paint on the wires instead of tape to reduce the amount of time required.....

Did you do that paint job? If so I love it

[TJ TRICHEESE]

10 sata ports:o.....YES!!!!

I've seen 12

[WoodWorker420]

Colours on the board will go well with the overall colour theme of this build. I dont suppose that happened by mistake....

[xxh1tm4nxx]

Actually this was done by a friend. Still Thanks

I've seen 12

haha damn im getting weak at simple maths:P

lol actually i got the case painted first and then i realised that not many boards come with this colour configuration. I couldnt put an evga or r3e in this cuz that would ruin the whole look. Finally found this board and have to say...what a relief it was.

[Johnny87au]

Quick hint with the UD7, update bios to prevent USB problems with certain keyboards + mouse, Anything after Fr will do the fix

[xxh1tm4nxx]

thanks for the tip johnny....will keep that in mind (Y)

[martensch]

Absolutely beautiful colorway! Everything fits very goo together... Really like that!

[xxh1tm4nxx]

ok time for update. i think all the parts that needed to be painted have been painted now. actually not all..there are a few left. but majority of them have been. This time was the mid plate and the motherboard tray with some, well not so professional cutting. Have a look

Midplate installed


shiny


Got this cut to route cables behind the motherboard tray..although i slightly miscalculated and got the cut wrong....will get this corrected soon


And now the tray with the board installed. Looks good imo




The not so straight cut (will need fixing too)








Psu 24 pin completed
















Thats it for now thanks for watching
