View Full Version : Silverstone TJ11 Carbon
http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/jdbnsn/kier/title.png
Hello my friends.
About 4 weeks I was doing nothing, My wife was getting crazy.
But now it is here ......... a new build, with a beautiful case, the Silverstone TJ11
When I first saw the case I had something like "I to want to mod this one"
I must admit that a number points are not so nice at this case.
This "negative" points I will certainly adjust. But they have also a lot of beautifull things renewed.
The main hardware and other materials
De hardware:
Case: Silverstone TJ11
PSU: Coolermaster 1200w
Motherboard: I’m not quite sure, but for the fitting and measuring, gonna use a EVGA Classified E759
Processor: i7 930
GPU: 3 x GTX 480
Memory: 6 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1600
HDD: 2 x SSD 120GB And some sata
Cooling:
Water cooling of course, but have to gather and brainstorm what best suits the TJ
So it’s a bit of a gray area. But I have some great ideas.
For now:
2 x EK 360 radiator
EK HF Supreme plex
EK Ram cooler plex
BitspowerSilver shiny
Tygon tube Transparant
And more…….
Other products/ materials:
MDPC Sleeve, colors: Black and...........yellow
Carbon fiber film
SMD lighting I think, but not too much this time
Some Acryl, yellow and black
About what exactly will happen, I will not say too much for now. I have a lot of ideas;)
The beginning:
My hero the guy of GLS, delivered the package of highflow.
Luckily, he treats the case with love and the TJ is without damage.
It’s big, really big…………..but beautifull

Grtzzz.
Update: dismantling the TJ
What a pleasure, I didn’t need this today. No rivets in this case
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09823-1.jpg
Only used this one
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09825-1.jpg
Have almost the entire case apart and this is what’s left
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09806.jpg
First removed the air intakes what was quiet easy apart from one thing
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09758.jpg
The speed controllers on top are not with a connector, so had to remove it from the case
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09761.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09760.jpg
Back side with the filters
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09763.jpg
Hotswaps also removed
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09754.jpg
These will still be used
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09751.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09756.jpg
The fans from the bays
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09766.jpg
When this was out, had playtime with some motherboards
Find the board
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09738.jpg
Small isn’t it, can you see it?
No, not this one......... but for now this one
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09742.jpg
Still is a nice motherboard with the EK blocks. Maybe it willstay with some changes to the red, but I’m still not sure
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09776.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09749.jpg
Back of the tray. Enough space for swapping the backplate
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09783.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09784.jpg
Enough slots
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09777.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09781.jpg
Continuing the dismantling. The top panel is simply push / click, but it’s a very nice design, therefore some pics;)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09774.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09770.jpg
Other side
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09773.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09771.jpg
Quick look at how it’s gonna be with a 360 radiator
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09744.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09745.jpg
PSU in..........lots of space :)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09746.jpg
Further......still with my Phillips screwdriver, the drive bays. Very easy to disassemble
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09789.jpg
Had to disconnect the power switch because it is connected to the switch on top
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09802.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09799.jpg
Nice hole can be adjusted
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09800.jpg
Omg where is the TJ?
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09792.jpg
Midplate. This was a bit more difficult, I had to remove the motherboard slide
But still managed without too much trouble
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09803.jpg
It’s huge ……..63 cm
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09805.jpg
Hmmm, not much left of it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09795.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09798.jpg
And again placed the 2 radiators inside with the fans on the inside pulling air through the radiators
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09807.jpg
Like this I have enough space between radiators for the tubes
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09811.jpg
psu in it. Not the psu that is finally coming in, but I had this one lying around
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09812.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09818.jpg
And some pictures of the color combination
Carbon and black
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09827.jpg
Yellow sleeve with it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09828.jpg
And always nice..........the black one
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ2/DSC09846.jpg
Looks nice!!!
Just ordered some stuff for the case itself. I will keep you informed ;)
Grtzzz.
Update: First carbon practice
3M Di-Noc CARBON FIBER FILM (http://www.mnpctech.com/CarbonFiber_Gunmetal_Titanium.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/carbonfiber_gunmetal_titanium_mnpctech_com2.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/CarbonFiber_Gunmetal_Titanium.html)
Yesterday been playing with the carbon film
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/DSC09074.jpg
To test my skills, I have coated my classified block with the film
before
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09852.jpg
And after
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09858.jpg
Also my Supreme HF coated. Again before
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09870.jpg
And now with carbon look
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09884.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09888.jpg
Put everything on the motherboard
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09877.jpg
Also did the laptop
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09881.jpg
Just kidding
The waiting is for the materials now, but luckily I have some stock
For the radiators I’m gonna make a sort of bracket, from beginning to end of the case, at least on the visible side
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09895.jpg
other side gets an open area for cables and other purposes
Piece of iron plate with the angle to cut
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09890.jpg
Round edge marked
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09892.jpg
Cutout for the psu
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09893.jpg
And here the custom plate, perfect fit
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09896.jpg
Opening made for the radiator, so that you don’t see the mounting holes and just straight to the air intake of the sidepanel
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09897.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09900.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09901.jpg
Sidepanel on it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09907.jpg
Rear intake is gonna be closed and the whole will be covered with carbon
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ3/DSC09905.jpg
That’s it for today.
Bye bye
Update: Front plate
Fortunately i’ve received some products this week, modding time !!!
To place some hdd’s put the hdd bays together
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09935.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09938.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09942.jpg
To get this build a little over the top I’m gonna put in 3 BP hdd coolers. A while ago I had two from L3p bought for a future build, but this is the perfect case for the coolers. So This week i’ve bought the third. L3p Thanks man!
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09969.jpg
Later on hdd's underneath with some support at the sides
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09971.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09908.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09910.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09912.jpg
The bay is accessible and gonna be placed like this
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09916.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09919.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09915.jpg
And i’ve used an old piece aluminum panel that I had left after a window cutout ........ never throw something away
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09925.jpg
Draw some Lines for the jigsaw
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09927.jpg
After some sawing and filing it already starts to take shape
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09929.jpg
Adhesive tape over it to see how it is going to be
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09930.jpg
And tried without tape
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09948.jpg
After that the slot for the slim-line DVD-RW
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09951.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09952.jpg
And then put the plate on the upper and lower bay cover with
3M Scotch Clear Mounting Tape #4010 (http://www.mnpctech.com/scotch_4010_tape_of_the_casemod_gods.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/4010scotch3mtape_mnpctech_com.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/scotch_4010_tape_of_the_casemod_gods.html)
And put everything back
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09978.jpg
But not finished yet ....... missing something.
I ordered some yellow acrylic. Really a gamble because no pictures were there of the yellow color
But fortunately it is just the right color that fits with my yellow sleeve
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09959.jpg
Made some french fries
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09988.jpg
And made the yellow lines in the slots of the hotswaps. Don’t have to be open because the water cooling. And the yellow lines will come back more often in this build
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09981.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09985.jpg
And the remaining three hotswaps finished
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09991.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09994.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09995.jpg
Imagine the front plate with carbon film (vertical straight lines)
And finally a hardware exchange. The Classified goes out the to a buddy of mine, he was in love with the carbon blocks. And I got an nice opportunity
Rampage III Extreme (http://www.highflow.nl/hardware/moederborden/asus-rampage-iii-extreme.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09963.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09966.jpg
With EK full cover block (http://www.highflow.nl/water-blocks/chipset-nb-sb-blocks/ek-fb-re3-black-acetal-nickel.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ4/DSC09962.jpg
This will also be covered with carbon;)
That's it............Grtzzz
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
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00011.jpg
Ammonia with some cotton swabs
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00013.jpg
And some silicone sealant
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00017.jpg
First I have cleanedand degreased the holes and bolts
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00014.jpg
Then the put the sealant in it and smoothed it with detergent on the finger
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00021.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00019.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00020.jpg
When everything was dry I put the carbon on. Heated the carbon with the heatgun to get the Straight edges
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00047.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00045.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00039.jpg
Cut the edges and lines with a sharp knife
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00042.jpg
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 (http://www.highflow.nl/toebehoren/koelpasta-pads-cleaners/arctic-silver-arcticlean-reinigingskit-60ml.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00122.jpg
A few drops
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00049.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00048.jpg
And it's clean
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00050.jpg
Placed the Waterblock
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00055.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00054.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00053.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00062.jpg
Finished
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00068.jpg
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
.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00022.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00024.jpg
This fan will blow the hot air out from the lower compartment
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00025.jpg
To still stay a little original , I’ve have made a custom midplate, this will be covered with yellow acryl
1mm Aluminum plate
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC09996.jpg
First tape it and marking it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC09998.jpg
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
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00008.jpg
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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC09999.jpg
Then placed the two Aquaero's VF
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00080.jpg
Placed the midplate in front
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00073.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00070.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00071.jpg
Also placed the side panel
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00077.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00074.jpg
To get smaller recess in the side panel I have a made a piece of aluminum and marked it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00111.jpg
And made this also with openings in the size of the display of the aquaero, s
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00112.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00113.jpg
These I put on the inside and on the outside I have made another piece
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00117.jpg
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
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00118.jpg
Soon as I'm going to do the whole panel, and maybe I’m gonna place another acrylic display for it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00121.jpg
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
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00106.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00101.jpg
Fits tightly next to my Corsairs
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00109.jpg
Placed the two GTX480, third one is coming. Still gonna do someting with the gpu’s
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00089.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00084.jpg
Now there are nickel backplates but these will be exchanged with black ones
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00097.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00099.jpg
Nice to have Corsair
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ5/DSC00093.jpg
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.
Small Update:
This week i've got my little hightech folding machine, real nice addition to my tools
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00123.jpg
Ok, lets bend something,
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00130.jpg
And the midplate part one
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00133.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00135.jpg
And sawn the midplate part two from the yellow acryl
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00132.jpg
And put it al together
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00129.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00126.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00127.jpg
Everything is gonna be poadercoated later on
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00125.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ6/DSC00124.jpg
And next step is to measure al the slots for the cables and the WC
To be continued ;)
How much was the bender? And what materials will it bend?
€130. Work-width 630mm and can fold steel sheet up to 1.2mm and similar materials up to 1.5mm
Looking really good! Your attention to detail is impressive. I like how you mounted the digital readout a page back. I also like how you cut out the layover material. The finished product will look really good. I dig it! Very nice! I've been browsing case mods all night, you guys are making me wanna go bonkers and get back into this stuff. Been SO long since I've done a serious mod on a case... but it's very very tempting.
Thanks a lot, why did you stop? cant imagine to stop, have so much ideas

Sleeve Update:
Today there's rain in the netherlands, a lot of rain, so a good excuse to go sleeving
For this I'm gonna renovate my Be quiet my 1200w power. This was one of the first PSU I've ever sleeved. And in the meantime, I've learned some things to do a beter sleevejob
Renovation work includes: giving cables the same size, heatshrink equal size, tighten the sleeve on the wires and add a color.
Just a little tip, if you start using a light color sleeve, it is best to use same color electrical tape around the wire as the sleeve color
This is because the color of the wire always stands out. Orange, black etc. you can see the color through the sleeve
Not shocking but "no compromise";)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00137.jpg
Yellow sleeve............ yellow insulation tape
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00136.jpg
Now you see no other color through the yellow
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00147.jpg
All black heatshrinks renovated
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00145.jpg
And the wires of the PSU are finished, did also extend the wires for this big case
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00142.jpg
placed and arranged
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00154.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00153.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ7/DSC00152.jpg
Now the modular cables, with the same color scheme
More to come ;)
Update: First cut in the TJ
Hi my modding friends. Did my first cutout in the TJ
For the cpu power, needed to make the hole bigger for the connector
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00166.jpg
Now it fits trough
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00203.jpg
Also did some nice things for the midplate. Second cutout in the TJ
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00161.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00163.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00164.jpg
There goes the midplate :naughty: second part for the midplate is the aluminium cover
Made some slots for all the cables
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00168.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00169.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00171.jpg
Third part is the yellow acryl, also made some slots in it. There's gonna be more, but for now only where the cables goes through
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00173.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00173.jpg
And the last layer......... the black acryl
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00172.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00176.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00177.jpg
Still need to do little adjustments to the acryl, but looking good allready
Put some cables through.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00182.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00199.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00192.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00185.jpg
Today my next GTX480 was coming in, so placed it. For now without the WC block
EK has given my the third block with some other beautifull stuff, so this one is still coming
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00196.jpg
So made the last gpu slot
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ8/DSC00195.jpg
I know, a lot of black and yellow............hope you like it ;
Hopefully my EK products and the MNPC Carbon is coming in this week, to let you show some more great stuff.
This week I received a very nice package with even beautifull products in from EKWB
The package (always nice to receive packages)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00206.jpg
Containing a fine collection of WC stuff
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00207.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00217.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00220.jpg
Placed the DCC tops on the MCP355 (http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/pumps-and-accessories/pumps/laing-ddc-pump-12v-ddc-1plus-mcp-355.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00223.jpg
Instead of 140mm reservoirs I’m gonna useEK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Basic (http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/reservoirs-and-acc/reservoirs/multioption-res-x2/ek-multioption-res-x2-250-basic.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00225.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00226.jpg
Like this
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00228.jpg
The GPUs will be connected to the front res, need to adjusting the black acrylic to get a straight line to the inlet of the reservoir
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00231.jpg
The outlet of the pump is going down through the midplate to a draining point, and so on to the radiators
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00243.jpg
I also have placed the back plates and installed the last block on the GPU's. Always looks nice
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00233.jpg
And placed everything
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00236.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ9/DSC00239.jpg
EKWB thank you for making this update / build possible
The package
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00205.jpg
To begin I’ll need to cover the air intakes from the sidepanel. Dont want these to be seeing.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00354.jpg
So cut a strip of 1mm aluminium
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00352.jpg
And put thin double sided tape on it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00353.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00356.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00355.jpg
After this I’ve cut two pices of 2 mm aluminium, exact the size of the slots
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00357.jpg
3M Scotch Clear Mounting Tape #4010 (http://www.mnpctech.com/scotch_4010_tape_of_the_casemod_gods.html)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/4010scotch3mtape_mnpctech_com.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/scotch_4010_tape_of_the_casemod_gods.html)
Used the tape of the gods to put these pieces on the strips and also to increasing the pieces
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00360.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00361.jpg
Put them in
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00363.jpg
After this I want it all to become flat without cracks, so I did use some silicone sealant
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00364.jpg
Next measering and cutout, what did I use:
-3M Di-Noc CARBON FIBER FILM (http://www.mnpctech.com/CarbonFiber_Gunmetal_Titanium.html)
-X-acto knife with sharp blade
-Cutting surface
-Heat gun/ Hair dryer (heat gun is to hot so take distance with this)
-About 60 minutes of time
Measured the sidepanel
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00366.jpg
Cut it out and left about one inch on all sides.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00367.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00280.jpg
Here we go………….. I’ve cut about 5 inch of the paper off and past the first half,
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00281.jpg
After this the other half
Make sure the sidepanel is clean and free of any grease or dirt.
Align the vinyl with the case, remove the backing and then place it on as smoothly as you can. I used a credit card to smooth any bubbles out
For the round edges I’ve used my heat gun. Turn the heat gun on and proceed to slowly and evenly heat the vinyl, whilst doing so, smooth it outwards with your thumb and down around all the edges.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00372.jpg
Take your x-acto knife and use the lines as your guide. Go slowly and make sure of where you’re cutting before you cut, hopefully preventing any miscuts or scratches to the side panel.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00371.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00370.jpg
And one side panel finished
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00369.jpg
Also did the other panel with the slots for de aquaero displays
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00275.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00278.jpg
Cut out the window, displays and the fanholes
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00292.jpg
And the front of the TJ. Again cut a piece larger then the front
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00257.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00259.jpg
Paste it
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00262.jpg
Just a little heat
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00263.jpg
And cut it out
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00265.jpg
Also did the radiator bracket
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00299.jpg
Everything placed back
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00302.jpg
And installed it in the TJ
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00303.jpg
So did a lot of pasting this week. Here some pics how this is becoming a real carbon TJ
Left side

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00378.jpg
And the vertical lines from the TJ and from the carbon
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ11/DSC00383.jpg

Coolermaster (http://www.coolermaster.nl/) & Highflow (http://www.highflow.nl/) Thanks!!!
Update
Great news......did almost all the sleeving, a hell of a job. Only a few more sata and usb
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00608.jpg
And I was busy with the loop in the lower section. used the Y fitting for draining and to the rad
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00619.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00622.jpg
Almost finished with the BP links
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00630.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00631.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00627.jpg
Maybe you've noticed but almost all the red on the motherboard is gone......pci-e, red button and the red sata. Did this with black film
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00629.jpg
Next step is to make a slot in the tray for some cables like the power led, switch, usb and other stuff
So time for Dremel action
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00636.jpg
And finished
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00638.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00639.jpg
Placed the hardware back
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00642.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00640.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00649.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00647.jpg
Not finished yet, I mis the yellow line
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00652.jpg
So I've cut a piece of the yellow acryl
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00653.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00654.jpg
Again used some black film
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00655.jpg
Paste it and cut out the lines
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00656.jpg
And placed it on the tray
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00657.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ12/DSC00660.jpg
Still waiting for the last fittings, hopefully next week and then.....................fill up the TJ ;)
Grtz.
Just a little small update about the cables and the hdd's
Finally I got my hdd's in, 4TB is enough for this build
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00612.jpg
There's also a OCZ vertex 2 ssd 120 GB coming in for the OS
So installed all the hdd's and routing the sata and power cables
A small piece of the power is visible, but this is gonna be sleeved
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00666.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00665.jpg
All the power cables are between the hdd bracket and the drive bay
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00667.jpg
So almost no cables visible
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00684.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00678.jpg
All the sata's are going to be sleeved and placed like this
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00674.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00676.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00677.jpg
The power led, usb and other cables are placed behind the slide-out bracket (dont how it's called)
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ13/DSC00669.jpg
This is it for the weekend. Greetings my modding friends
Update: First loop filled
Finally all the acryl pipes are connected. Had some difficult issues with a few fittings
but it came out fine
Like the connection on the full cover block
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00795.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00799.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00803.jpg
But..........everything is connected now
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00812.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00813.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00826.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00820.jpg
Made some changes to the GPU loop, instead of the BP rotery snake I've used some more crystal link tubes
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00822.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00817.jpg
Time for the liquid.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00850.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00846.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00843.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00840.jpg
And one loop filled.
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00831.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00832.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ14/DSC00836.jpg
The plan was to do the second loop also............but made a mistake
Need to order some more Feser because I dont have enough for the second loop
So to be continued
Small update!!!
Last two weeks I didn't do much because I was sick and had the same color as the liquid
But where back again ;)
I adjust the Lian Li bracket for the ssd and the slimline dvd
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00930.jpg
Cut and bent a piece of aluminium
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00932.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00933.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00934.jpg
This for the cover to hide the Lian bracket
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00935.jpg
Paste some carbon again
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00938.jpg
Placed it with the side plate
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00941.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00943.jpg
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00944.jpg
And made the same piece for the other side
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ15/DSC00945.jpg
This week I hope that I can get the TJ up and running...............more to come
Update: New liquid and last sleeve update
Hi modding friends, sorry for the long waiting but finally I,m done with the liquid
I,ve chosen Aqua-computer DP Ultra yellow
Turned out to be yellow/ orange but much better then the green Feser
And I must admid...................I'm done with it ;)
The TJ is finished now for 90% and I really want to finish the build now. So here some pics

That's it for now
I would finish the TJ this weekend, but my boss needed me for a major error in a cooling installation.
So instead a small update...........sorry you guys
Like you know now I don't like to much cables in sight
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ18/DSC01078.jpg
Bent a piece of aluminium on two sides
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ18/DSC01083.jpg

Other side also done
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ18/DSC01088.jpg
I'm thinking of taking some days off...........every time when I wanted to finish this build, something came up
did take some free hours today, and it worked
Update!!!
Finally the TJ11 is finished. Did the last things today
Sawn and bend the radiator cover
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/TJ19/DSC01094-1.jpg
