My TJ07 build

chiLLZ · 30 Oct 2009 at 22:08

looks like it will be a very clean and tidy setup.

Small update,

Braided the 8 pin and 24 pin -

I decided to braid 8 individual wires on the 8 pin and then 6 lots of 4 for the 24 pin.

I also took another chunk out of my case to help with the cable routing -

Just need my 5870 to turn up now so i can crack on. Still cant decide if i should leave it at one loop or run two.......

Have two loops.
Braiding looks ace.

I wasn't sure when I first saw the green, but it grows on you very quickly indeed.

I'd say run 2 loops

Always wanted dual loops, finally got them set up and then took them out again after 2 weeks!

was all in a mid tower and nowhere near enough room, too cramped to do anything and looked a right mess. In a big case like the tj07 though, plenty of room to do it properly

Looking good and love the colour, think the 8 pin might of looked better braided as 2 lots of 4 cables, so a bit tighter, but thats only my opinion

I know what you mean, because this was my first ever pc build i wasnt too sure what braiding style to go for so i tried a few different types

Well seeing as there isnt much i can do now until I get my 5870 thought i would mess around with the lighting -

Not overly interesting im afraid but i was bored

I would have never thought a green PC would look good! But this has changed my mind.

Looking forward to seeing the final product!

Diggsy · 5 Nov 2009 at 12:47

Looking good. Think I would prefer the optical drive and fan controller in white though, especially after looking at the contrast of the insides of the case to the outsides.

Ducky Spud · 5 Nov 2009 at 14:04

Yea, I was gonna say the lighting looks great, but need to do something with those front drives. Either get them painted up to match or mod the spare bezels to stealth them a bit. Still looking great other than that though

Lokai · 5 Nov 2009 at 14:23

Cheers for the comments guys, i agree about the drive and fan controller, will have a think about what best to do.

The "green machine"

Looks really good. Nice job.

Lokai · 12 Nov 2009 at 15:35

Just a small update/change of plan, im now not using a water cooled 5870 on this system, instead its reverting back to a cpu only loop and im putting two 5770's in.

They have quite a bit of red on them so it does spoil the overall green effect slightly

Planning on using my 5870 block on my next upcoming build

Ive already put the loop together and am leak testing as we speak, will try and get some pics up as soon as I can.

Lokai · 12 Nov 2009 at 15:35

Ok some pics.

two new 5770's installed, real shame they have so much red on them !

Tubing added, not too happy with the routing

Leak testing and temp monitoring

Still quite a bit of work to do, no drives installed yet. And like i said not too happy about the routing of the tubes.
