Top job

Looks amazing

Did you have to cut the rail that the MB tray sits in to route your 24pin cables etc. Any pics from the reverse side? Nice tidy job by the way.

Its amazing just how much the black interior and white light plate transform a TJ07. Looks completely different to my stock one. And im incredibly jealous. Top banana.

The MB tray is custom made for my MB on 8mm think matt perspex.
The Sata, 24pin & Pcie were cut into an extension plate.

Here is the back. Please excuse the Iphone pic.

Holy mother of god that's neat round the back! Mine's an absolute mess back there.

Absolutely stunning build though mate. Out of interest what size tubing is that?

Pgreenwo · 24 Oct 2012 at 21:00

Thanks mate. The tubing is 11/16mm (7/16) only 4 PCIe, 24 pin, 8pin and a molex out of the psu so nothing to make a mess with.

Very proffesional bud and real nice on the eyes. Great build and I am slightly jealous

How do those XSPC SLI connectors actually attach/connect?

whyscotty · 28 Oct 2012 at 20:38

Beautiful build :cool:

Cheers. Really pleased with it. My XSPC bay res is annoying as the front doesn't look right. I may sneak a Bitspower tube res in the drive bay and D5 top in the bottom (anything to keep messing!!)

There are screw 4 holes in the in the top and bottom next to the G1/4. The seal tight with a grommet. I prefer the look to tubing and a complete bonus is that the cards feel like one due to the rigidity, handy for installing etc

Yes, I like the look also and am considering the XSPC blocks over the Aquacomputer blocks for that reason. I'm tempted to go Tri-SLI though, would these work across 3 cards? (I'm guessing serial definitely will, what about parallel?)

EDIT: I also see you're using EVGA cards with backplates. Did that affect the waterblock install in any way? (I'm afraid that due to the slight extra depth I'd over-tighten the screws)

Pretty sure you would have to go serial with the blocks.

The back plates are attached using holes that the block doesn't. The plates are rested on and I uses some M3 nuts & bolts

Very nice build you have there.

leoncc · 1 Nov 2012 at 12:39

That looks very nice, I have been in the process of re doing my TJ07 from scratch.

I really wanted my internals to be powder coated white, but I have been in a dilemma for days thinking how I would get perfect white rivets back in without them chipping after it has been coated.

My spray from a year ago hasn't lasted that well so I'm having it all chemically dipped and coated again.

I think I will go black all around now as that tray from cz looks very nice.

leoncc · 1 Nov 2012 at 12:42

Also do you know where I can find some countersunk screws in black to put the case internals back together? I don't think they are M3? I can't find them absolutely anywhere.

I asked Nils but he doesn't have any, but what is he using in the MKII then!?
