Turtletraxs' "Go Broke" TJ-07 Dual Loop

[turtletrax]

Excellent build so far

All will be revealed however when you plug everything in I'm expecting top notch cable managment (you've got the murdermod to follow )

Thank you sir

I will be taking my time and doing things the right way. I will bemoving so things might not move as fast as I would like, but the new home has better facilities for doing this sort of palying around

I wish I could find the sleeving from the murderbox, it is just beautiful

I would rather this build take longer and look better for it than a rushed job that probably would not look as good

As for the sleeving... http://www.mdpc-x.com/MDPC-Sleeve/Halbgottpackung.htm

Expensive (and in german which is a deterrent) but -if you can get your hands on it- worth it I think

Welcome to the Silverstone TJ-07 Club! - the build looks great!

But finding a window panel for your TJ-07 could be difficult mate!

I have also the the TJ-07 without any window (bought the case long time ago)

So I was in contact with Tim Dohrmann at Silverstone in Germany, asking if I could buy a window panel from Silverstone?

They told me that they couldn't sell any window panels for the TJ-07 because of the U-shape design they are using in the production of the case.

And therefore It would be difficult for them to sell windows panels on the side for this model.

Because of the design and the construction - If a new bought window panel wouldn't fit the buyers case, they (Silverstone) would be in trouble, so they decided not to sell them!

But maybe you have more luck than me? maybe things have changed since I asked this 6 months ago?

If so? please tell us! - It could be valuable information for other people with the TJ07 without window panel here in the WC-community!

Looking forward to see more of your case!

I emailed Silverstone USA and they said they do not do window side sales as they may not fit. I may have to get a hydro cut done and make a window. Will see when the time arrives.

If you want to pack and ship your side panel to Vancouver, I'd be happy to cut it for you. It's not a service we're planning to offer but I'd like to try the process with you if you're interested.

Cutting a brushed, anodized piece of aluminum is tricky business - I've learned this from experience. I'll say that in the early days, a few panels lost their lives. One of the problems occurs if the aggregate that's shot with the water gets up and under the backside of the panel (the backside being the outer face since you have to cut the panel from the inside). What can happen is the abrasive aggregate gets trapped between the panel and the steel slats in the water jet table. The aggregate shoots out sideways which causes a hazing of the surface and ultimately damages the brushed finish. Even re-anodizing won't help - you'll still see the damage. Another problem is simply poor handling at the shop. I've had panels damaged by some assclown leaning a piece of metal against it.

I'm pleased to say I've finally got a system for cutting side panels that allows me to sleep at night when they're at the shop. I mean after all, a side panel represents $300 - since it's irreplaceable.

As for the MDPC-X/murderMod sleeving: shipping shouldn't be too bad for you; it's only coming from Vancouver.
