Hello my friends.

About 4 weeks I was doing nothing, My wife was getting crazy.
But now it is here ......... a new build, with a beautiful case, the Silverstone TJ11
When I first saw the case I had something like "I to want to mod this one"

I must admit that a number points are not so nice at this case.
This "negative" points I will certainly adjust. But they have also a lot of beautifull things renewed.
The main hardware and other materials

De hardware:

Case: Silverstone TJ11
PSU: Coolermaster 1200w
Motherboard: I’m not quite sure, but for the fitting and measuring, gonna use a EVGA Classified E759
Processor: i7 930
GPU: 3 x GTX 480
Memory: 6 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1600
HDD: 2 x SSD 120GB And some sata

Cooling:

Water cooling of course, but have to gather and brainstorm what best suits the TJ
So it’s a bit of a gray area. But I have some great ideas.
For now:

2 x EK 360 radiator
EK HF Supreme plex
EK Ram cooler plex
BitspowerSilver shiny
Tygon tube Transparant
And more…….

Other products/ materials:

MDPC Sleeve, colors: Black and...........yellow
Carbon fiber film
SMD lighting I think, but not too much this time
Some Acryl, yellow and black

About what exactly will happen, I will not say too much for now. I have a lot of ideas

The beginning:

My hero the guy of GLS, delivered the package.
Luckily, he treats the case with love and the TJ is without damage.
It’s big, really big…………..but beautifull

The Silverstone TJ11

The box

Out of the box

2 x AP121 fans with hot-swap adapters

Extra large motherboard tray cut-out for CPU cooler backplates

And a little box with small stuff

Manual……….lol

Do not mind that it’s made in China, but please don’t do this anymore
This was the case step by step. next challenge is to brainstorm how to install the various components.
New case, new challenges I love it :clap: ............... to be continued

Grtzzz.

Very nice case, one question,

What else was included with the case? as I saw a video where they visited Silverstone head quarters for the first look at the first production case and they said something was a secret that came included in the box.

Duesix · 7 Jul 2011 at 07:13

subbed too
close to getting one of these cases and i am interested to see if you have any problems and how it comes out.
Shame about the made in china bit though

Darkman · 7 Jul 2011 at 07:45

What isn't?

We'll soon be getting to the point that manufacturers will be highlighting when things aren't Made in China.

Think he meant the label being printed onto the case instead of in a sticker.

Hard for the case not to be made in China considering that Silverstone are a Chinese ('Taiwanese') company

Looking forward to this!

qbazdz · 7 Jul 2011 at 16:13

Made in China is a killer! lol
Shame they haven't come up with something cheaper and smaller for all that don't need WC and so many HDDs...

Such a beautiful case!

kier · 7 Jul 2011 at 23:34

thnx you guys, the China thing is coming off, lol

Update: dismantling the TJ

What a pleasure, I didn’t need this today. No rivets in this case

Only used this one

Have almost the entire case apart and this is what’s left

First removed the air intakes what was quiet easy apart from one thing

The speed controllers on top are not with a connector, so had to remove it from the case

Back side with the filters

Hotswaps also removed

These will still be used

The fans from the bays

When this was out, had playtime with some motherboards
Find the board

Small isn’t it, can you see it?
No, not this one......... but for now this one

Still is a nice motherboard with the EK blocks. Maybe it willstay with some changes to the red, but I’m still not sure

Back of the tray. Enough space for swapping the backplate

Enough slots

Continuing the dismantling. The top panel is simply push / click, but it’s a very nice design, therefore some pics

Other side

Quick look at how it’s gonna be with a 360 radiator

PSU in..........lots of space

Further......still with my Phillips screwdriver, the drive bays. Very easy to disassemble

Had to disconnect the power switch because it is connected to the switch on top

Nice hole can be adjusted

Omg where is the TJ?

Midplate. This was a bit more difficult, I had to remove the motherboard slide
But still managed without too much trouble

It’s huge ……..63 cm

Hmmm, not much left of it

And again placed the 2 radiators inside with the fans on the inside pulling air through the radiators

Like this I have enough space between radiators for the tubes

psu in it. Not the psu that is finally coming in, but I had this one lying around

And some pictures of the color combination
Carbon and black

Yellow sleeve with it

And always nice..........the black one

Looks nice!!!

Just ordered some stuff for the case itself. I will keep you informed

Grtzzz.
