MetallicAcid's TJ07 (working title)

[size="5"]Update time!

[size="3"]Hello everybody! I know this has been a long time coming

It is with great excitement that I announce that the project has now officially been started! I am building this project for Demis, a friend of mine. He had fallen in love with the project, and the ideas which I had visualized with the aid of SketchUp and Skindigo - 3D modelling and rendering software.

There had been discussions between Demis and I regarding the colour and overall theme of this build, and in the end we both thought that a blacked out stealth build, with subtle gold highlights, with an overall monolithic feel with a simple exterior and neat interior was the best option for this project. The colour scheme comes from the X79 ASUS motherboard. I would like to now show you a visual representation of how this project will probably look like:

This project may take some time to complete. This is a good thing in my opinion as it means that I can plan every detail to perfection, and execute those plans into reality with ease and minimal stress.

This will be a watercooled project, but in stages. Stage 1 for the watercooling will include just the CPU, with the GPU being air cooled. Stage 2 of the watercooling will include a 2nd GPU with both being watercooled. So you can expect a Rev.1 and Rev.2 of this project over the coming months.

So, I would like to kickstart this thread with a list of products that Demis has ordered, and are on it's way to me:

And even though the GPU's have not been bought yet, I do have some shrouds to customise in the down time:

Here comes a list of things that I plan to do with this mod:
Fabricate

Modify

Paint

Prepare for painting

Install

More things may be added to the list later on

I hope you have enjoyed the news. We are both super excited about this project, and want to see it to perfection. I hope you stick around for future updates!

With best regards,

Update time!

Hello modders!!

Thank you for once again joining me in this journey to FINALLY mod the heck out of this Silverstone Temjin TJ07S! I have been a busy little bee today, and got to modding a mid plate and suspension supports to tidy up the various gaps and holes. This is just a quick in progress shot I took with my Iphone camera, but I am sure that you guys are hanging for an update. This panel will later have a design carved into it and lit from underneath, much like in my TJ08B-E ROG project.

I have completed a few other things already, but do not want to reveal too much just yet. Oh yes, good things come to those who wait..

Until next update, I will leave you with this..

I hope you guys are taking me seriously now

P.S I know that the orientation is for standard ATX and not the inverted ATX in this photo. The custom alu plate just has to be flipped and the bracket pop-riveted onto the opposite side.

Update time!

[size="3"]Hello and welcome to another official update!!

I would like to present to you TJ07 parts which was recently delivered to me from Ricardo at coldzero.eu.

A short summary of these parts is that the finish on them is outstanding! They came well packaged without damage, and from what I could see, all screws and other bits and pieces were included.

Now all that is left to do is install them into the case!!

Thanks for reading

Update time!

I tested out some measurements after putting in the the motherboard plate with attached extension. Man this thing is long! My bend was of by a couple of degrees, so I re bent and it fit perfectly!!

So, I will just leave these here..

Not the best photos as I did not have a tripod with me.. I was at work "working" HAHA. Thanks for reading everyone, stay cool!

[size="3"]Hello again modders and enthusiasts!

Today we are taking a look at the top of the TJ07, where the mesh is usually located. I hoping to improve it's looks and style, while still keeping the look classic. Let's see what I have done!

Here is what it usually looks like:

And here is what I did to try improve it:

With this update, I am very happy to say that I am organizing to have some acrylic sheets run through a CNC mill, to bevel down the edges of each window. This will make the acrylic sit flush with the outside, and yet still be fasted underneath the panel. Once I have some more info, I will let you know!

I hope you enjoyed this update

Best regards,
