TJ07 - Good for air cooling?

[BringTheRain]

Ugh, just been thinking. The idea of a new case is so i can CF

Doubt the ft01 is gonna be good for CF :'( Sad panda now.

There is a windowed panel available for the A70/71F, though youd have to source one somewhere.

Of course, getting the existing panel done allows you to choose your own design. The A7*'s are great for cf/sli due to the sheer size of them.

Sli'd gtx 470's here.

Yay arc MIDI is a nice case

 

[BringTheRain]

That case does look good, but wanted black internals

Think i may just buy some sheet aluminium and make one. Should look pretty good

Powder coating the internals of the TJ07 shouldn't take more that £40 isn't it?

It's about £65 quid. Takes it to pushing £300 quid.

 

[BringTheRain]

Lots to think about, ah well at least it is fun

That case looks the sex

 

[BringTheRain]

When the hell did this come out ?

Think i love it lol

Anybody know if the corsair 650D is better than the 800D for air cooling?

 

[w3bbo]

Yeah, the 800d is very poor for air cooling, 650d is a lot better.

 

[BringTheRain]

Yeah, the 800d is very poor for air cooling, 650d is a lot better.

I didnt even know it was even out, i thought the 650d was a case that looked like the cosmos. A real curvy case!

Could have a winner

Need to research that bad boy

Thanks wee man

Grrr BTR why do you have to like a case from a manufacturer that you said that you didn't want one from?

I got my TJ07 for £120 second hand and was so impressed with the shear beauty and quality of the case! Powdercoating should be about £80 (externals cost me £40 in glossy red) so I don't see the problem. Just gotta keep your eye out on the MM. For air cooling, you could add a front bay adapter for a 120mm fan or do what I'm doing in my mod project. It's a fantastic case, the highest quality, the best looks (while still looking refined), the best window I have ever seen. You also get the bonus of a removable motherboard tray and a rivetless construction which makes your life so much easier if you need to get it sprayed. The case only uses 2 or 3 different types and they include some bags of extras, dead easy.

Although I don't have experience in it, the ATCS840 sounds ideal for your aircooling needs and has a quality finish to it.

Well i didnt like the 800D as was very very very poor for air cooling, it chipped easily And it was too heavy for me to lift. (have a bad back injury) So was a disaster of a case for me.

I thought why can't they make a baby one, and they have! Just depends on air cooling now though. Need to read some reviews !

 

[KiiYzOo]

It's supposed to be a very good case and can also still be used for watercooling

Yeah seen that in a review, doesn't worry me.

I take it there is no way to get some 120mm fans in it?

As i have 5 brand new sycthe's 1900 rpm's

it accepts 120mm and 180mm fans in both fan mounts i run a 120mm in the roof of mine cant see how it would be bad for xfire though plenty of room one thing also is it's a very heavy case too

the 650d fans push less air than a fart btw not an issue if you add third party fans but bear in mind you can only fit 20mm thick fans in there if you keep the hdd cages at the front

many people don't like the cmaster 840 on air saying there's simply too much distance between the fans and the motherboard so not so great for air cooling

 

[BringTheRain]

Well looks like i am back to square one again

Watercooling is not really an option at the moment (money)

I dont really want to buy a TJ07 is i cannot watercool.

So any other suggestions, i may have missed.

Sad panda today

LianLi PC-p80

Plenty good for aircooling:

It can take all size motherboards inc ATX-XL (10 PCI Ports). It is however a large case

It'll easily take watercooling should you want to get your feet wet or keep it as the ultimate aircooling case? They are a little expensive tho .

See link in sig for more details m8.
