TJ07 HDD Cage

Another option are these SST-CFP52B but they are very scarce.

Would this fit in an akasa eclipse?

Looks good but I prefer a more flat front to my TJ07.

Hi ConTRo13R,

Thanks

The 3 fans you can see are Zalman ZF1225ASH.

The rad(s) are PA120.3 sandwiched by gasket to PA120.2 on the other side.

I have 2 Yate Loon SL's on the other side.

Fittings are Fesser and the right angles on the rad are rotary 1/2" barbs.

The Zalmans are controlled by a akasa fan control jr in the front bay, the yates run at 12v all the time as they are very quiet.

Well my plan has worked

Using the original TJ07 harddrive cages I have suspended them on scythe hard drive2 rubber mounts giving me 6 vibration free well cooled drives.

Outside:


Scythe Hard Drive2:


Inside:


I then modded the pc343 bays by bending them in slightly and drilling and tapping a fixing hole to look like this:



And then fixed them in:



And made sure they fitted to make a clean flat look:



Hope you like it as its a very easy mod.

Looks good, nice work

Looks very good DeadMan,

Heres some pics as promised, CFP52B fitted.







Still need to get my case internals powder coated matt black lol

Cheers dude

That looks sooooooomuch better! really suits the black case, very nice.

Was a bast. to fit. The front is actually just a clip in bezel with the fan mounted on it.

Its not mounted to the hdd cage in any shape or form.

Next job is tidying the cables with some braiding and heat shrink and then onto that drive stealth mod

Its made like that for easy access to the hot swap bays and probably helps cleaning as well

Lol trust me its not easy access

To remove it, it will be a screw driver in a cloth as to not damage the case. You have to prise it out.

Would have been better if it was held madnetically to the front of the cage, wouldnt need to be anything strong so no risk of damage.

How hard is it to pull them off? perhaps 2 paper clips bent over as hooks and insert them in between the ek res and the drive bay?

Paper clip idea is probably a good un.

It is pretty tough to pull out.

Just remember to catch the front when it pings off

Worth trying harder to find a CFP51 IMO!

defo the best looking for TJ07

Agreed! I have one too. Easy to find and much better looking than the flat ones. Gives character to the case IMO.

RoEy

You guys got all yours sorted and mine are still sitting in there roasting away

Only way I could put a fan in the front of mine is to move my res's but unsure where I could move them to..

Might just let the hdd's cook for the mean time, they are in a nice spot anyway!

EDIT: meant to say, all cases looking VERY nice Good modding on the silverstone racks Deadman

Thanks dude

Hmm.. perhaps you could make an L shaped bracket that comes off the motherboard tray which you can attached those EK res backets too.

Then use one of the CFP52B's.

Looks like the easiest option to me.

Not a bad idea mate though at the moment might review how I got everything and try find a better all round solution, having the two cylinder res's is my downfall at the moment..

I prefer the flat and LED-less look myself.

I agree with Ucof,

Including the led-less actually lol. Just looking for what fan i can sub into it now.
