About a year ago I shelved my lovely old TJ07 for a Cosmos II, and sure, it was a hell of a lot easier to work on (minus the lack of removable motherboard tray) but it was just so boring to look at! After going to sell my modded TJ07 I found that nobody really wanted to buy them anymore, and I'll be damned if I'm going to give my beloved case away for nothing!
I consider this case to be the classic car of chassis- she's old, slightly impractical and not easy to work on, I mean, nobody was routing cables round the back of the motherboard tray at this point. But it looks good, has some soul to it and the work you put into it makes it that much more rewarding and you can truly say it's yours. Also, removable motherboard tray, I mean, why is that not more of a thing?
So I'm selling my Cosmos II and gave my TJ07 an overhaul to make it look better and more ease of use. You can see the original worklog in my signature, which is where the bulk of it was done, here I just added a bit to it. New front panel, cut some better cable managment (makes getting the right side panel on a lot easier too!) full braided cables, and old school internal wire fan grills. Made an adapter plate so the PSU isn't held in with double sided 3M tape. Oh, and all new parts. Here's how she's looking now!
