Well you have a gold plated CPU block!

What is your motherboard? and I assume you are going to powder coat or paint the internals of the TJ07?

Nemesis379 · 22 Apr 2012 at 19:51

Nah, i'm going to keep it silver as i prefer it like that, everyone has the TJ07 powder coated kinda ruins it for me tbh xD.

Mobo is going to be a X79A-GD65 (8D) Blue/Black so i was thinking having gentle typhoons at the bottom noise blocker blue fans at the top/back, have the main centre piece with gold compression fittings, thermochill blue tubing and true silver compression fittings on everything else.

I bought a T-Virus res a couple days ago, when it arrived on Saturday it had a large scratch on it, so i'm going to get a refund and go with a bitspower tube res 250mm.

Ah yes, what tape should i buy for mounting my res onto the motherboard tray, as i don't feel like drilling a holes

Can't remember the name of the tape

but I got it from ASDA!
It is a red color double sided tape and it is about 1mm thick - 5m tape.
Very strong! I had my 240mm RAD stand fixed with that and it took a whole lot of force to get it off!

EDIT:
Found it! Its called "No more nails on a roll"

Is it clear?, if not will a little bit on each of the mounting holes for the bitspower res work?

Also what do you think of my build look that i have said?

Thanks.

Nope, the tape is white in color!
I don't think RES holders will have enough surface area to have a good enough hold for the double sided tape!
But the motherboard tray of the TJ07 do have mounting holes for a RES to be fixed.
You have a Blue/Black Mobo with a Black/Gold CPU block, so how about Blue or light blue tubing with Gold fittings? You do know there are gold colored fittings right?

Also since your case change, have you changed the RADs as well? By the above pics I would say you are going for a single 480 RAD? With a SB-E cpu(probably overclocked?) and dual 470s, I would think that is bit too hot to handle! You might have to put a 240mm on top or in front of the case!

Well i'm probably going to go with a single gtx 580 for now, then later on add another one then another rad most probably.

I know there are gold coloured fittings i would just rather have the CPU block as the centre piece, with gold fittings (if i can hopefully get some from Bitspower)

if you get what i mean.
