The gpu's with stealth block's:







And now with the gpu cover plate:












And now some pics of the Motherboard with all the waterbloks on it:

Changed some bolts of the waterblocs, thermalright mosfet coolers painted on black, all proves on each chipset, and not pics but all custom made backplates.















Well now some pics of the radiators all well located inside the case.

Bottom part, without leds:

Thanks for read

 

Now some other pictures with the moderboard with the vga's and with x-fi, some corsair airflow problems with the ram disipators, and the sexy blue tubing
















With first tube only to see how they looks:









Now the corsair ramflow: and lets see the problem that the memory disipators are so high to put correcly the corsair, so i have to do something, i'm thinking about it:












Well i'm searching some EVGA or some rigid SLI bridge cos the striker's one is the most horrible sli bridge that i've never seen.

Best regards!

 

I really love the back acrylic pcb covers! I'm looking forward to see where this goes.

 

Looks very sexy, waiting for update

 

Looks very sexy, waiting for update

 

yea same, really like them.
looking forward to see more

 

Those acrilyc covers are nice indeed, did you made them yourself or did you bought them.
That silverstone case is nice to.
Looking forward to see more

 

i love what your doing with this. the res looks good and the blue tubing. this should be a hot mod
you mentioned a lianli cd mod...what exactly are you talking about?

 

Thanks

The covers are made by Duniek, he does a very clena an sexy work.

The lianli cd mod, its putting a lianli cd aluminium cover in a silverstone tj07, here are some new pictures of the frontal:



Some bad quality pics of the front to see how it looks.


first the XSPC bayres, with two blue leds:







These pic is for showing the atx power cable sleeved one by one.





This is the front panel with this order:

Alphacool dual bay LCD-Lianli cd front panel-XSPC res-ZAlman rehobus-dual tj07 covers with the dual hdd dd waterbloc inside.









And a pic of the inside, to show the black acrylic cover:





And here dont know if can be seen, but the silverstone zeus 850 have a blue 80x80 blue led fan (some mod's without pics have been done)







Thanks to all. Best regards

 

Loving the look on this project, how did you put the lian li cd covers in there?

i looked at the inside of a tj07 and did not find it compatible with lian li accessories. can you shou a picture of tthis from the inside or the alterations you made?

 

Am liking what I have seen so far. Keep us posted!

 

oh alright. so insted of using the orig case bay cover your just usin a lian li bay cover to stealth your drive?
is that better?

 

silverstone dnt have original bay cover for cd, and the lianli looks very well, it looks good, look at this new pictures:

Thanks!

look at this pictures, 5 1/4 bays and lianli cd bay, bouth have been cuted:






Some pictures of the exterior:






And the last one the rear of the 92x92 fans:





Sorry for the flash pictures, but there is no light here:S

Best regards!

 

very nice setup .... but I do have a question for you........

Wouldn't it be better to distribute some of the 2nd loop blocks
into the 1st loop?
The 2nd loop has all of the "hot" parts to keep cool,
the 1st loop only has to cool the cpu.


Alan

 

Yeah nice setup!

But i think your space is too tight... Have you ever considered in making another "floor" for your mod?

 

bouth have a lot of reason.

Yes, the spade is too tight, and the down part its a little bit overfilled, but its the unic way to put all the parts inside the case that was the first idea of this mod. To be beutifull, and to be all inside. To make another flour in a tj07 its a little bit complicated, because you've to make exacly the same look as the case, so its very hard to do.


And the watercooling distribute, its hard to explain but the tube managing its better this way, putting at last bouth chipsets in the cpu loop will be a little bit complicated, but i'll try it before mouting the way i thinked. thanks for the help.

alan which blocs you'll put in each loop in my system, with all the tubing well distributed?

Best regards and thanks

 

But isn't casemodding about winning challenges?

But you got a point, you don't want to alter the original look too much.

 

I understand your reasons and that it's the looks you are after.....
I've been looking at the pics of the board with the blocks mounted ........these are just
my thoughts ...............


1st loop:


Magicool 360 rad UV blue painted (at top of the case)
DD TDX 775 CPU
2x swiftech stealth
XSPC 51/4 bay res
Swiftech MCP 655

2nd loop:
DD 680i north
EK south
Laing DDC + EK top
DD 2xHDD block
hwlabs 360 (at bottom)
Custom cilindric res


But it's your mod and if the temps don't matter then mounting it the way
you intended the result will be beautiful...........


Alan

 

yes, the thought is that i dnt wanna change the original look so much, and i put all at botom

well its extremly complicated to put as you said but its possible that i change the chipset blocs at first loop... i'll see...
i'll put the way that the tubing looks better, because the temps only matter a little bit


Thanks for the advice, i'm waiting for the last pakage to work and finish this mod

best regards!

 

Well some more updates of this project, today its the best update i think, because its the time to put all hard inside the case to see how it looks and it looks great

Well lets begin, first of all some blue acrylic at right of the motherboard:



And now with only the motherboard more pics:







Yeah its near the rad fans... but they don't touch the mobo








First VGA






And now bouth VGa's and the X-FI (atention to theese sexy blue pci screws)











And the last with the first ram with heatsink:





Well some other things, i neet to buy a cuple of these:



And some UV cathodes to make the fluid lights




Best regards to all and thanks for reading
