Case Mod - In Progress Silverstone TJ11 Carbon.....Final pics

Nice One kier like the carbon look
Thinking of using this for my door panels

 

I like the carbon stuff to have used it and seen it been used on minor things before bit I really like the stuff your doing with it.. Grey/Black with yellow... what can go wrong? Nice water cooling parts from what I have seen so far.. Can't wait for this to be finished!

 

Hehe, I'm on vacation

 

Thanks

Both side panels gonna be also with carbon

Yeh but..............i'm on vacation and modding lol

 

Hey, that's kinda funny - I'll be doing that very same combo from sunday and 7 days on, until my vacation ends.

 

Wow looking great ! I look foward to the rest of this project

 

I'm on vacation too, lol.... but still watching the updates on this

 

LOL! You weren't kidding!

 

Subscribed. I've been waiting to see what a skilled modder can do with this case

 

Update

Now that I have the REIII I can not stay behind in order to coat it with carbon. Before I'm going to do this, there is some treatment needed.
If I stick the carbon film without doing this, you will see the holes where the bolds are in
That's why I’m gonna cover the holes. What we need:

Detergent



Ammonia with some cotton swabs



And some silicone sealant



First I have cleanedand degreased the holes and bolts



Then the put the sealant in it and smoothed it with detergent on the finger







When everything was dry I put the carbon on. Heated the carbon with the heatgun to get the Straight edges







Cut the edges and lines with a sharp knife



Then it was time to treat the motherboard. Screwed the The original blocks off and used a cleaning kit to clean everything

Arctic Silver ArctiClean Reinigingskit



A few drops





And it's clean



Placed the Waterblock









Finished



I also changed the cover of the radiator, as I need to have optimum heat dissipation. That's why I cut a 120mm hole next to the radiator
.





This fan will blow the hot air out from the lower compartment



To still stay a little original , I’ve have made a custom midplate, this will be covered with yellow acryl

1mm Aluminum plate




First tape it and marking it



Total shot coming up. The air intakes in the side panels are in my opinion not pretty, but it offers a possibility to use it for 2 aquaero's
Made a bracket and fitted it with an old Aquaero



For this one also created openings for the midplate that still has to be bent. I had hoped that I already could showed, but I'm still waiting for my new little folding machine







Then placed the two Aquaero's VF



Placed the midplate in front







Also placed the side panel





To get smaller recess in the side panel I have a made a piece of aluminum and marked it



And made this also with openings in the size of the display of the aquaero, s





These I put on the inside and on the outside I have made another piece



This I have made as tight as possible because there wil be later on carbon on it and I do not want to have ugly edges visible. Just put a little bit carbon on it to show what the intention is



Soon as I'm going to do the whole panel, and maybe I’m gonna place another acrylic display for it



Am also has been busy with the hardware and the WC stuff. Gonna place the reservoir at the back. For this there are coming 2 x EK-DDC X-RES with 200mm reservoirs
To see how it will look i’ve placed them like this





Fits tightly next to my Corsairs



Placed the two GTX480, third one is coming. Still gonna do someting with the gpu’s





Now there are nickel backplates but these will be exchanged with black ones





Nice to have Corsair



Tuesday my folding machine is coming and I can finish the midplate

That's it on my last day of my vacation, tomorrow back to work ........... unfortunately
Updates will now take a bit longer

Grtzzz.

 

Looking awsome, thanks for the update.

 

Nice job on the mobo block.

Oh, and Aquaeros rule - got one of those bad boys myself.

 

really loving the build. isnt that carbon stuff just the best!!

 

Thank you for the reply

Really love the Aquaero's, I'm always use these in my mods

Hi Stem83 thnx, This Carbon is great, really nice to work with

 

I love watching how meticulously everything is executed kier. This would be the PC I would want to own

for anyone else interested, 3M Di-Noc Carbon fiber is one of the prizes we offer for bit-tech's MOTM. It's not a vinyl film, it's described “synthetic textile” It’s a flexible and lightweight carbon fiber vinyl film that looks like the real thing, only less expensive. It can be installed on both flat and curved surfaces. I made a video tutorial here

 

I'm loving it so far

 

great job so far kier, loving the log and looking forward to the next update, i'm subscribed

 

Small Update:

This week i've got my little hightech folding machine, real nice addition to my tools



Ok, lets bend something,



And the midplate part one





And sawn the midplate part two from the yellow acryl



And put it al together







Everything is gonna be poadercoated later on





And next step is to measure al the slots for the cables and the WC

To be continued

 

Wow, this looks like a great project. Looking forward to more updates!
