Thermaltake Mozart TX

What colour?

Here's some ideas.

Black
White
Red
Green
Blue
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Pink

Now everyone does blue/black/red cases so let's discount them right away.

White is a lovely clean colour (or mix of) but a bit boring

Yellow and Orange you've already done.

Green is seldom used I think, sure I've seen a few mods with really really bright green but they aere quite rare.

Purple looks pretty awesome in some builds and mods.

Pink, does anyone do Pink case mods? Make sure you are secure in your sexuality before embarking on a Pink case mod :)

Apart from that you are into blends of colour.

You should get those side windows tinted the same colour as your mod colours too. That bezel needs not to be black and needs the shape changed, maybe have the whole front replaced like carboot (do they make bits of steel THAT big). The front is the worst feature of the TX case I think. Maybe incorporate a toaster into the front for giggles, or a sliding out bread board or something.

Jesus, that case is one ugly mofo. :D

I hope you mod it something better (and good luck!).

Yup it's a buff alright. There is however a considerable amount of potential in it. mainly due to it's size but also due to its unique appearance. One of the reasons I've enjoyed modding the skeleton case so much is down to its uniqueness.
 
I think you should get 4 optical drives and put them coming out the top - then you'd have some kind of toaster scheme going on :)

Also seeing as how massive this is, an inspiration of putting mirrors in the case just came to me, think that could be quite cool for reflecting light around it.

Having seen your previous logs though looking forward to this one! I'm sure it will be truly epic :)

Some great ideas here guys keep em coming. Like the idea of the mirrors and had given it some thought already. Thinking maybe replace windows with either tint or the 2 way mirror stuff (looks like a mirror from the outside until you turn the lights on inside.

I actually quite like the front but I guess you chaps are right when you say it's the ugliest part of it, or at least the part that stands out the most. I was originally going to leave it but after tealc's suggestion might look a bit more into replacing the front. Only think is it's finished in a rather tactile brushed steel and up close it looks nice

All my previous mods have been very bright high contrast colour schemes so I was looking to perhaps change things about and do something a bit more "stealth" and sleek, basically the end product should ooze class and quality. (so I guess the bread board's out lol)

Not sure whether to bother putting 2 systems in there, as another thought i'm having is to have the whole of the down stairs as the PC, this would mean moving HDD and optical bays down stairs and having the whole of the upstairs as the water cooling plant.

This is all still just ideas though, nothing is finalised or even closer than concept

Keep the ideas coming guys
 
Given its size and presence, how about a delightful elephant mod?

I know we were talking about a cascade reservoir and if so wouldn't it be nice to have it not only visible from the side of the case but part of the side so it's a big feature. Would be awesome to see a big chunk of acrylic all full of waterfalls.
 
Not sure how masculine you're going for, but if you're sticking with the cascade water cooling - no idea how it would work but sounds awesome, you could do maybe some clear acrylic front and side panel with like a serene rain-foresty kind of theme or something?

Oh and BTW, I sent you a trust about switch panels :)

I quite like it also but not ruled out modding it yet. I think it will be dictated by the demands of the build. Got the message, will try to get back to you asap

Might not be able to use the sides as they both open, but perhaps the front?? Maybe something built into where all the optical drive bays are???

Just wondering how this is progressing! Seemed like a promising idea! :D

Not started yet as still in planning stage and I still have quite a bit of hardware to secure.

I've got some very strong ideas re the content and coulour scheme, but things may still change between now and when I start

I guess perhaps early next year before the build gets underway.

I'll be opening a proper build thread when gets underway.
