    Awesome paint....yes, the eyes on the side panel look a bit funny as in lacking something.

    Perfection is a balance of insanity and genius.

    Thanks for the comments everybody.

    The case is finished. Nate has started the system installation. A 1200W PCP&C psu will powering this baby, so a lot of "cable-gami" and other various cable management / sleeving on the work order.

    Really love the case (I own a tj09 myself though, can't bother with a door :p) And the paintwork is lovely! The only thing that sort of doesen't fit in is the MB color scheme...... Personally I think that something black\blue like say, ASUS' P6T7 WS SuperComputer would fit the case coloring overall while being monstous in its own regard. But then again that's my opinion and you are welcome to completely ignore it ;):lol:

    Unless you plan to really go for it and do integrated Phase-change cooling in there to take advantage of the MB to the fullest (now that would be monstrous!) I think that there are boards out there that would fit the lovely blue interior better.

    However If you are going to go for it and create a blue-red contrast in there I am sure going to love that as well!

    Subbed!

    Damn thats a nice mobo! im loving the paint jobs and each panel individually, but i don't really get what the idea of having 2 diff chicks on the front and side is.

    Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome paintjob, but i just think that the front image should have bled to the sides with some effects and stuff.
    Here they just sort of seem detached, like two masterpieces put together, not one big masterpiece.

    But i can't say anything bout the quality of the work there! :thumb:

    all that for an air cooled system hmm I dont know I think water cooling at least the CPU with some blue coolant would have been some nice icing but ehh to each their own, either way the outside looks great

    Nah, the TJ-09/10 is rediculously hard to watercool without really serious modification.

    I think Nates done a pretty nice job with the air actually :thumb:

    Yeah he has done a really good job, it's just a shame to see that awesome tech on air. I guess you gotta give the customer what they want.

    Watercooling was hard when you first had to make the blocks and then modify the car radiator to fit hoses smaller than 2" in diameter.

    Good work with the paintjob, not the theme I would choose, but certainly goes to show the skills! I would just be nervous to hell all the time if I had a case like that :D

    How come there are more updates on a Norwegian forum then here? I just thought it a little weird... Or the update is not far away on here as well.

    Anyways, for you who want to indulge and take a sneak peek, here's the link.

    Cheers ;)

    From what I heard it beats the a$$ off of everything for subzero temp OC on the i7, but there are cheaper alternatives if air or basic liquid cooling is used. Not to be rude, but I think it's in there only for the bling and the price tag itself. But that's just me.
