Case Design for Liquid Cooling

omg... DO WANT

Has Tom from ChilledPC contacted you yet?
I pointed him this thread so maybe you can finally arrange that your design comes to life

**dingdong555** · 08-25-2009, 11:05 PM

All I can say Mick, is you're amazing! The renders you do are insanely good.

ohh i know i've been watching this case since his first renders

I have had two complaints about this case, the lack of hard drive bays (4 is not a lot), (he other is that it was not available, first one is solved, Even though my tj10 is relatively new (< 1 year) and I have 2 internal radiators I would probably buy this once its available (and certainly for my next build)

In this latest render I have inverted the motherboard.
I have squeezed in a second typhoon III in the top bay so that there are two separate cooling loops.
To make enough room in the top section to route the pipes, I have replaced the 38mm width fans and shrouds with 25mm ones leaving plenty of room along the left side for the two pipes.
The 120.4 rad in the top is now cooling the graphics cards and the motherboard.
The 120.3 rad in the bottom is just cooling the processor.

So much cleaner and better looking inverted! Top work yet again.

**rambler358** · 09-01-2009, 07:48 AM

No word on any possible manufacturers yet?

**tuanster1119** · 09-01-2009, 09:30 AM

Not to be super negative, but I really don't think this is going to happen. Believe me, I really hope it does, but when you consider the closest production case to this is the TJ07 and that they run about $300 in retail, I'm betting that these are just too expensive to produce and sell at a reasonable price. At this point, I'd be happy if Mountain Mods came up with a new design that was based on this case.

Just keeping the dream alive!

**gergregg** · 09-03-2009, 08:21 AM

Haven't commented until now, but pretty much the perfect case. Nice work!

**sampower** · 09-07-2009, 08:58 AM

Great design,I like the inverted MB, perfect

I wanna buy one already.

**woffen** · 09-07-2009, 01:11 PM

Yea, inverted atx makes it even better looking

The instant you or anyone else starts producing this case, I'm in line to buy one. So what's the hold up?

**thelittlechef** · 09-21-2009, 02:28 AM

no news is bad news?

**Mick64** · 09-21-2009, 03:29 AM

Not necessarily! I'm in the process of producing the detailed 2D drawings required to cut the parts on a CNC machine. I will then be in a position to get solid estimates on material and production costs. I have had a couple of offers of financial backing, so I'm still optimistic that this case will get built. However, due to personal reasons, I have very little time at the moment. This means that I am unable to progress the drawings for a while. It's very frustrating, but can't be helped.

There is still the possibility that WCUK will produce a case based on my design, but my correspondence with them seems to be falling on deaf ears. I don't know what's happening with them at the moment, but they haven't told me that they're not going ahead with it! Again, very frustrating!

**thelittlechef** · 09-23-2009, 03:50 AM

thanks for the update - hope things manage to progress. All the work you've put into this deserves some sort of result!

**Delemon** · 09-23-2009, 08:03 AM

I hope this eventually makes it. I would love to have a case with this much room for my first WC build (coming soon-ish). I'm a big fan of the all internal WC setups.

**HuffPCair** · 09-23-2009, 08:20 AM

GREEEEEN that is my favorite one so far. GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE ME

**Delemon** · 09-23-2009, 08:31 AM

I'd take a black one in a heartbeat! I want something that'll match up with my EVGA X58 Classified that is on its way.

**Mick64** · 09-23-2009, 08:55 AM

If you're talking 4 way SLI, I'll need to add another slot!

Not for quad-SLI GTX295s.

**Delemon** · 09-23-2009, 09:21 AM

Another slot?!? Holy cow, lol! And no, at most I'll be running 2x vid cards, and that will even be a stretch. I only have my one 4870 1GB card at the moment.
