Custom Project: Black Silverstone TJ-10

[ben549]

First for a little bit of background: I've been involved with PCs for the past 8 yrs and I work at a computer store (not a high performance store). About 1-2yrs ago I decided to build a computer and it was a complete success. I finally decided to perform a much needed overhaul of my computer which I started in December when EVGA offered the 680i to 780i step-up to the older and newer 680i owners. During the seemingly endless wait I started to get into light modding which soon manifested itself into an obsessive hobby.

I'm completely overhauling my computer I wanted to do something "different" that hasn't been done a million times like water cooling the TJ07 (granted, some of them look amazing). The case I choose was the TJ10 which I really like the look of. As far as mods go I’ve already started painting parts black and sound proofing. I wasn’t sure what I should do for loop order but this is my plan (see pic below).

More Pictures Soon!

where cd-rom will be if u want 120x1 there?

[ls206]

looks like he planning to put the rad on it's "back" so to give space for a dvd fan control etc..
edit...maybe just 1 5.25" device

[ben549]

The 120mm radiator will be mounted horizontally in the 5.25 bays. I’m now having issues where the radiator is too long.

[F1ZZY]

Just put a tripple in the top if you can. easier and cheaper (plus better cooling)

[ben549]

I just dont have the room but i did try a PA120.3 and it was too thick.

[disruptfam]

sounds like a good project look forward to updates

Is the limitation just the thickness? Use a thinner one

[ben549]

the rad brackets are problematic as well.

[rioja]

hm, i think u should come more 'conceptual' to this mod
for now ur approach is as minimal mod as possible imho
tj-10 is great case, load it at full)

[MomijiTMO]

This will be sweet!

I can't wait for updates.

[crackbag]

No idea but this is a TJ10 not a TJ09

Its one of Silverstone’s Cross-flow fans which got a black paint job! (I’m glad to hear it goes so well with the case.)
