no, I don't think it should be a case of shouting about who I am and my industry links to be getting satisfactory service for my £500 case.

They quoted me 12 week wait for the parts before Christmas. which they never confirmed afterwards.

I had exemplary service for my TJ07 when I requested a replacement side panel. but then again, I did pay for it.

I totally agree. Just thought it might be a quick way to get the parts sorted.

Wondering what your going to do with the front panels, I'm looking to replace mine on my TJ11 but not sure what with

Biffa · 17 Jan 2012 at 15:11

I used Lian-Li mesh 5.25" drive covers on my TJ07, can't imagine they would be any harder on the TJ11

As a possible solution, could you just buy an anti-vandal switch, spray it black and use that instead? or something similar?

My spares arrived from Silverstone so I have fittedthem and have a 100% sorted case again.

the fans from the middle of the case have been moved. they look silly.
I don't want them.

in other news, possibilities of the following.

Glad to hear it is all sorted, I must say I'm not really sure why Silverstone put the middle fans in and made it odd motherboard layout. The TJ07/11 were always going to be watercooling cases.... And now you can't put a rad in the roof... Going to see how this progresses as I'm waiting to see a 'proper' tj11 log as such!

That's good news.

What do you plan to do with that area?

they look ridiculous, agree with you here, but they push so much air!!

Who needs air if you're water cooling. I was considering one could put the PSU Where the fans are with drilling out the backplate slightly, then you could fit two 480s in the bottom section. Would be incredible.

Problem is that would look ridiculous

And airflow is still important!

Great stuff - look forward to your results.

I have one question about the PSU. I notice your using the Professional series -are these much quieter than the Enthusiast series?

The reason i ask is that my 'Enthusiast Corsair' is the noisiest thing in my system - so much so that i'm going to change it - would you recommend the Professional for silence?

rjk · 27 Jan 2012 at 22:44

the ax series 850 and 750 use the same design as the seasonic supplies. Seasonic are corsair's oem for those supplies and as such the fan spins up only when the supply is under load. If you look on google for anandtech's review of the ax750w you will see that the fan remains stationary until it is under load. Essentially unless I am gaming, the fan is off. Which means my system runs off 6 GT fans at less than 900rpm. It's fairly quiet, I would suggest those supplies if you are looking for silence. Note that the ax1200 uses a different oem and has a fan that is on all of the time

Hello you...

King Damager · 30 Jan 2012 at 15:27

Ooh, very nice. I sense some Gigabyte Orange Pastel coming?

I have the AX750, love it, great PSU. Runs cool and quiet.

Hello you...

That's a rather nice mobo.

edgedemon · 30 Jan 2012 at 21:13

I nearly went with that mobo, but felt like I was cheating myself out of 4 ram slots in order to get a nice colour scheme..
