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!?

The countersink screws are 6/32 thread. I was looking for some but not found any yet. That's the problem when you start modding there's about £30 in lovely hex head screws all hidden from view.

Yeah I have been looking for a while too, so fustrating.

Also what did you use to attach the Cold Zero motherboard tray to the back plate? (I'm guessing rivets wouldn't be a good idea with plexi?)

Cheers

It comes with 3 nuts and bolts to fix it. It gets rid of those nasty brackets and no rivets is also a bonus

M3 bolt/nut? I think I will go that route with some brain washers on the outside and some nylon washers on the inside, I'm hoping that will be sturdy enough.

Yes they are M3 - love the brain washers!

The part addiction continues!!!. The XSPC bay res was great in my 800D. In the TJ07 with its simple panel design I find the resonance too audible and the front panel doesn't look right due to the slightly oversize bay res.

I've gone for a pump top and single bay res. I'm going to try and hide the res so the front is cleaner.

Beautiful m8 only just seen this thread.
The quality is awesome

I LOVE THIS BUILD
Going to be starting my next build when the new cards are released

Nice build. Why don't you use the combs with the mobo backplate?

I have a big bunch of black 6-32 screws from the US, but I am in mainland Europe.

TO be honest the combs edition was unavailable at the time. Looking at pics of builds with it there is no difference in visual. I think I slightly prefer the plate I have. Thanks for your comments btw

Nice build. What camera did you use to take the pictures?

Thanks. It's a Canon 60D with a Canon EF-S 18-135mm Lens.

All done.

Added a Koolance CPU 380 which drastically improveed over the XSPC Raystorm.
Also put in a Koolance TNK-501 res which is a stunning bit of kit.
Swapped the old P67 Maximus IV for a new Maximus V Gene Z77

Congratulations on an absolutely sexual build Pgreenwo. I want to make sweet sticky love to your box

This is mint, TJ07 has always been my favourite case!

Stunning build... just stunning.

Looks really good, nice build mate!

linwelin · 20 Feb 2013 at 21:28

Looks awesome, love that case!

Anox · 20 Feb 2013 at 21:30

Classy build, clean and stylish at the same time!

Pgreenwo · 21 Feb 2013 at 01:15

Thanks very much fellas. I must be happy with it too. The case side hasn't been off since 27th Jan. I've usually swapped cases or something significant in a month.

nice.
