Silverstone Showcase

[picard]

OK guys, well Ive been looking at the case market for a long long time, and browsing forums for ideas on cases and what you can do with them. The primary objective was to get two loops into a case with ease. I narrowed it down to either the Mountain Mods, Lian Li V2000 or the TJ07.

For various reasons I went for the TJ07, and ive spent the last month putting it together. I have to say that inspiration definately came from two threads here at XS, so im not going to claim all the ideas for myself. You can find these here:

(it was such a pain Massavilles pics had gone, so I had to work out alot of his res mount ideas by myself, and from memory!)

However, I'd like to think ive added a fair few ideas myself. I am thinking of putting up a project log here at some point as I have tons of pictures... far too many for this thread. Anyhow, this is how its turned out:

(please note I change mobo half way through the build cos my EVGA went dead, so I am awaiting a new mounting kit for the MCW30 to mount on the DFI).











After those top shots I went and improved on the cable management:

How did you attached the top valve from outside the case to the water reservoir?
where did you get rubber O-ring for the valve on top of the case?

Hey m8, to attach the fill ports to the res I just used a small length of tubing. The rubber O-Rings came with the fill ports.

Quick question, how are most of you mounting your Radiators below? Pictures if possible.

where did you get the metal connector port to attach to the top reservoir before it connect to the tubing?

I didn't get the metal connector to the top port.

Awesome, appreciate your help.

I just used another EK barb in the top, and standard hoseclamps. U can get the barbs seperately if you need extra.

Great cases. I have a TJ07 incoming for my next build and this thread has given me some great ideas.

I felt there were too many big boys in this thread! So here is my SG01-E to rep the SFF/MATX out there!

Heres my contribution to the tj07 clan. Before anyone says... yes its pink, no it shudnt be pink, yes its supposed to be red.

Great rigs so far by the way!!

How do you fill up water in your reservoir ? I need ideas how to setup the reservoir inside the case. my case is fill with power cables from PSU. It is short of space.

[picard]

Realised my tubes needing cleaning out so it gave me another opportunity to further my wire hiding skills, move ccfls to back of case and get rid of my led fans.

1st pic is before I cleaned up tubes!!

How did you attach reservoir inside the case?

How did you filled up the reservoir with water with that setup? I thought you need to extend a long tube from reservoir to top top of the case to allow easy water filling.

[picard]

How did you attach the reservoir inside the case? I have the same case.

How did you hide all the power cables in the Tj09 case? This case has very little space to hide stuff on back panel.

[jason str]

Nice clean looking setup you have there, love the case too.

How did you hide all the power cables from PSU? I have the same Tj09 case. Do you have a modular PSU ?

[ap4lifetn]

[Ric2L]

Hey All, Heres my TJ09

[PaRn ssR]

I like SilverStone

[Silver Bullet]

New setup .. now waiting on Core i7 and maybe a ATI 4870 X2



see specs below.

[RomDominance]

This is a very interesting thread. Its cool to see what others have done with these excellent cases. Heres some picts of the "Warbird", let me know what you think.

[Colossous]

sorry for the late reply picard - i used an 8 pin extender cable so the Cpu 8pin power cable can be seen routed above the mobo where it joins the other power cables which i zippied/loomed together - its not a modular Psu - you can see the spare cables wrapped together in front of the Psu, some great rigs guys.

[Empty_Quarter]

Wow! Some wicked looking TJ09/TJ10s! Very nice guys! Keep it coming!

[Cpl Ledanek]

@Ric2L, Awesome rig
Question: is that a Corsair Dominator Memory Fan? Can you share how to switch fans to red?
Want to add this red-theme fan to my rig.

Advance thanks
