Jiggy's WC long log (TJ07)

jiggyghallam · 21 Jun 2009 at 19:33

So my TJ07 arrives next week sometime and i think i might start might own long worklog as being 17 i will gather money over the summer holiday from working part time :rolleyes:

i will also add lots of pictures as i know 60% if the people dont bother to read the pots they just like the 'pretty' colours

This will be my 3rd attempt at watercooling and i plan this time to do a proper neat and professional job of it.

This is my current build

From this i will take all of the hardware (CPU, MOBO, RAM etc) and add to the new rig... Later in the summer i will upgrade to i7, i will take all of the WC parts and in addition i have ordered a 360 rad, some compression fitting, looots of sleeving, new blue 3/4" OD tubing and other random things i will add as the thread thickens

I dont have a nice D-SLR camera just the basic $100 family digital camera but... i will try my best to get some nice shots to show you all

Blue 3/4" OD tubing

Purple 1/2" OD tubing

Black sleeveing

Lots more pics to come, more so when my case arrives

Good luck on your project also are you having two loops?
Your camera takes some nice photo's.

Thanks

and yes i will have the zalman for cooling the mofset and NB and the 360 & 240 rad for cooling the CPU and GPU, i am getting i7 and maybe SLI later so the extra 360 rad is a must

The cam cost 99 quid from NO COMPETITORS about a year ago lol its basic

Is it blue for boys and pink for girls?

Mix them both together makes both sexes happy

Nah they just look good together in a case

Update just ordered a G.Skill Falcon 64Gb SSD and 2 x 1Tb HDD should come in about 2 - 3 days, will post some pics when they arrive

Also, got an e-mail from ***** where i am ordering my case from...

HI George,

We are waiting for stock of the Tj07, there will also be a shipping fee to pay

Tom

So... delayed case.. but free shipping to Cyprus from the UK on a 15Kg Case

Edit: Miss-read e-mail, grr i have to pay for extra shipping costs

EdGey · 23 Jun 2009 at 19:30

hey m8, some nice kit there

but i think you should remove the competitors name, its against the forum rules.

jiggyghallam · 23 Jun 2009 at 19:34

Done, sorry i didn't know

i would have ordered from OcUK but they dont stock that case anymore

Caracus2k · 23 Jun 2009 at 21:01

TJ-07's are getting a little like hens teeth at the moment... glad I bought mine earlier this year!

jiggyghallam · 27 Jun 2009 at 16:31

Ok solid states and HDD's arrive Monday, there has been so many problems with shipping and its sooo annoying! Also the case will finally ship on Monday via DHL and arrive next week.. So fingers crossed i should be able to do some work on it at last

And will post some pics to make the thread more fun

wingnuttzz · 28 Jun 2009 at 07:54

looks good mate, and all things given for if i'm probably honest is a cheap and tacky case you have at the moment you have made a good job of it.

and for a "basic" camera it takes some damn good pictures too.

jiggyghallam · 29 Jun 2009 at 17:59

Ok today, i got that magic call i have been waiting for, DHL called and said a parcel had arrived for me

Here are the contents

2 x 1Tb HDD's

G.Skill Falcon 64Gb SSD

Group Pic of drives, woah at the size difference

And this with the Unsleaved SATA cables that came today

I will get a bit of sleeving done tonight and will post some pics before it gets to dark to take some pics, the case should be arriving 2 -3 days :rolleyes:

(finally). So lots of pics then

I am thinking if to install Vista 64 bit on the SSD or Windows 7 RC (beta) what do you guys think (and reasons

)

I am also thinking of having some T.E.C cooling, have a look at this post if want

Windows 7 RC 64bit because its faster and its free until March next year

jiggyghallam · 29 Jun 2009 at 19:50

Well sleaving failed

need to get larger heat shrink, think i had a blond moment

Ordering larger Heat Shrink now

Updates

Was woken up at 7.30 this morning (on my day off after going to bed at 4.00 in the morning) by some person at FedEx saying they have a really large amounts of books :shrug: and could i come and collect them. I hadn't ordered any books, but... well went off down, when i got there i just saw my Tj07 case and was pleasantly surprised. God knows how they thought it was books.. But o well, it weighed a ton :eek:

Here is the size of the box

In the box came,

-Tj07 case
-Swiftech 360 rad
-Some compression fittings and 90c fittings
-LED's (Blue and UV)
-3 x 120mm yate fans
-UV cathodes
-More sleaving and heatshrink
-PSU modding kit (fail)
-Few more bits and bobs i cant think of off the top of my head

In the Tj07 box came a 24pin ATX extender, so i decided to sleave that instead of doing my PSU (don't want to break my 100w corsair :rolleyes:

)

Didn't like the modding kit, was useless and it they broke, waste of $25. Getting two pins do the job 100% better

I couldn't find a proper guide around so i thought i would have a got at showing how to do this simple but nice mod.

Before

Steps

After

Here are some pron shots of my Tj07, i think my neighbors thought i was a bit weird by taking pics of my PC case by the pool but o well

(A bit to much adding contrast on that one soz)

Once i finished my photo shoot, i started to take it to pieces and mark where i need to cut holes tomorrow.

For the cables to run behind the MOBO tray

So i can fit my cables from the PSU to the rest of the PC out of site

I ordered 50cm SATA cables not 75cm (another blond moment) so i decided would be easier to cut a hole there and root them directly to my HDD, SSD and DVD drives (will explain my storage drives are going later and the layout)

A naked Tj07

All the parts ready for cutting and spraying

A pic of erm... fans guards lol

very nice m8, love the third pic of the case outside. nice braiding

lookin good

Ducky Spud · 7 Jul 2009 at 21:04

Great pics of the case outside, looks like you got a nice place as well as pc haha

Nice work on the braiding though! That your first attempt at it?

jiggyghallam · 7 Jul 2009 at 23:56

Thank you, we do have nice weather all the time out here

Cheers

and ye it is, well i have attempted half sleaving SATA cables but not on the scale of doing the whole PC

I want to hide that drive bay and get rid of the large holes in the bottom of by Tj07, so i have designed these, going to take it down to the metal works shop tomorrow see what they can do for me

Behind the cut out will be some 92mm blue LED fans, the reason i had to do this is this is where my HDD and SSD will go and it needs some ventilation (even though there will be a 120mm inside there circulating air)

Grill size (will do this if it is possible to get it machined but not sure if i have that sort of facilities in Cyprus

)

booyaka · 8 Jul 2009 at 11:02

nice work so far - look forward to this one getting completed

mjones1 · 8 Jul 2009 at 18:49
