    The Mammoth TJ07​



    Hello all,
    This is the first build log I have ever done I will take as many pictures as possible and keep the build log updated with what I am doing,

    Hardware!

    Intel I5-2500K
    Asus P8P67
    8GB mushkin blackline

    Big thanks have to go to UkBringTheRain for the TJ07 and the lift home underestimated the size of the TJ07 and how heavy it was!!
    And thanks to aria for the rest of the hardware!

    Update 1- Working on drive bays


    So far I have not had much time to do the mod as I had originally hoped (college, work, son) then moding the case, but I have made some progress with the build
    here are the latest pictures I have got.

    here is what I have done so far, cut the hole for the hdd cage to sit in so I have more space down below,

    did a test fit to make sure the hole was wide enough and was capable of fitting it in.

    I then realised that the bay was a bit too wide probably would have got away with it but to be on the safe side I decided to cut the base of the bay

    Before (measuring up)
    [​IMG]

    and double check

    [​IMG]

    gentlemen lets start the cutting

    [​IMG]

    and the sparks are flying

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I then realised that I didn’t like how the ends of the bay was so I though a little cut here and there would sort it out

    marked the cut out and got the dremel ready

    [​IMG]

    cut done but not cleaned up yet,

    [​IMG]

    I then though I didn’t like how it was and wanted to straighten that little bend out so though I would just get my heat gun and blast it make it supple and bend it back so its straight

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    maybe that wasn’t a good idea as this happened when I was bending it back to how I wanted it

    [​IMG]


    :wallbash::wallbash::duh:
    now I have to copy that and make the other side the same

    couldn’t be bothered to cut this one then heat it then bend it so I just heated it and then snapped it off

    [​IMG]

    that’s all I had time for folks
