Hi fellow modders, It was a matter of time but here it is... my first real scratch build Thanks to Nate from E22 for the design. Sometimes you see a design with a wow factor. This happend too me with this design. After some consultation we decided to try to build this design. Nate the design and I'm building. Sponsored by: And designed by: The design: The hardware that comes in is still a suprise...even for me , but anyway there will be an SLI set and some cool watercooling After buying aluminum strips and other stuff at the hardware store, it was time to start building. After some fitting and measuring the frame was created. I still had an old Mobo tray from a old TJ07. Cut some plates of acrylic and placed it. For measuring I have an old blown up Classified. Made the door/ cover for the PSU And cut to size the front plate Now it's a matter of drawing lines on the inside. The result after sawing and filing. Cut holes for the fans at the front and the lid on top covered with acrylic Covers closed Placed some nice 120mm NorthQ fans to see how it looks. More updates coming very soon
If it's Kier you have to follow! You are the reason I bought Tj11, you should ask silverstone for some extra goods for that. Looking awesome. This will be an epic build knowing the quality you put into your work. You got my attention a long time ago.
Looks excellent Richard it's a strange feeling watching a design that lived in your head come into the world by someone else's hands. Happy to say you are doing a stunning job and the little tweaks you are adding opposed to the original concept are wonderful
Kier...scratchbuild. 'nuff said. I like the design. It's almost a motherboard shrine. Maybe people will show up and burn incense in front of it when it's done.
Update!!! Sponsored by: Designed by: Another update Need to catch up with my FB updates I have covered the acrylic panels with matte black vinyl and installed some fans to see how it looks And cut two acrylic plates. 1 for the controller (aquaero VF) and 1 for the lamptron switches Also blackened with vinyl I want to build this one without too much cost, so in this build if possible, all kind of stuff that I allready have. The first idea was to purchase a 480 rad, but also overhere a bit crisis. So it's becoming two 240 rads. That's why I made the front panel again with the fanholes more apart. Side effect is that it looks better i think, left-center-right all the same sizes between them This also blackened and polished the edges. Placed the mobo with some EKWB blocks. And naturally straight tubes Almost straight
Not sure what my overall impression is, but I do love the layout as well as the straight tubes. I can't really say if I like or dislike those 45° elements specifically.
Very interesting and fresh design Nate and very nice work Richard Great look with the vertical piping so far. Will there be room on the left for front USB ?
Kier modding I am in. Kier scratchbuild that it is a totally different level. Love the panel where you have the controller Modding time.
Superb build Kier. Love the hinged pieces and the clean lines on the design... heck i love it all. Keep up the epic work.
