Can some of you owners give me some feedback on these cases from a water coolers point of view as I like the look of both cases.

On the T-J07 case as I have read in some reviews that the threads are aliminium too and they strip easily and that some of the panel holes don't line up properly. Also I've read that a quad rad can fit inside, could someone confirm if the TFC Xchanger - Quad Radiator 480


Can anyone also tell me where you mount you rads in the a77 case, is there an optional panel to roof mount the rad and any niggles about this case.
 
Yeah a quad rad can fit in the tj07.

I'll upload you some pics :D

If construction material is aluminum I would expect threads to be also made of that.

A77 is basically mod of A70 so accessory top panels (with either 2 or 3 fan holes) of that might fit directly.
But as softer material than steel aluminum would be easy to mod.

Try to remember that full tower means case where standard ATX motherboard looks small and E-ATX fits easily:

Thanks for the reply guys. N19h7m4r3 is there still room for a psu in the base of the case as well? As I'm looking to buy this Tagan PipeRock Can you tell me if those panel holes all line up and how hard is that anodised finish?
 
Theres more than enough room for the psu, it fits on behind the rad and has some extra space for air flow.

I know some people have a quad and a dual in there. Cramped but it'll fit it :)

That psu should fit fine. Finish isn't that hard either.

The case can really take any psu. Only problem might be that the power cables are to short. But that rarely happens.

You can also easily drill some holes in the mobo tray to let the cables go through there.

Makes it tidier and easier to route them all.

I filled all 12 drive bays and I never had any issues with cable management. It came with cable routing accessories which I didn't use as it's such a big case they're never going to get in the way of air flow.

You could always cut the holes yourself into the top, and with no PSU up there to get in the way either.
 
Some high end valcro would work. Although I'd just be a little worried about it coming loose.

I move my pc quite a bit, so I myself wouldn't use velcro.

Although I'm sure it'll hold good, you can also use some cable ties to help by routing them through the upper holes just to help abit.

I myself got some little L blackets from the local DIY shop. Drilled some holes in the case and attached them to the bottom of case and then to RAD.

Works a dream.

I am considering adding moset blocks into my loop. Do you think they will add restriction to the loop and are they worth bothering with over passive?
 
With a quad rad like the TFC Exchanger they shouldn't be a problem.

Although Mostly adding the mosfets, NB and SB are just for looks really. It's rare that you'll need to cool those.

The only time you'll need to is when you're pushing a massively high overclock.

I'd just suggest leaving them to passive cooling but if you have the means and want some extra looks go right ahead :)
 
Well I've gone ahead (misses caved in:D and all brownie points spent:()with the Silverstone and quad radiator to cool cpu, mem, nb, sb, mosfet and gpu. It was a tough discission between this and a modded A77, thanks for the replys by the way.
