Thanks! Its super cheap. I had to buy it on Amazon but I bet you could walk into a craft store in the states and find it even cheaper.

The final pics are amazing. It's a really great project.

On a related note, I've been doing some concept drawings for a dieselpunk case mod and was looking for a good starter case. I really like Silverstone cases, especially the fortress FT02, but felt like it wasn't the right place to start for a project like that.

So I'm looking at their other cases and see this case. Its style is very streamline moderne, and it's anodized black, and there's tons of space.

And then I realize two things.

1. It's the TJ11, and it costs ~$600. Holy cow! I'm not buying that.
2. It's the TJ11, which you used for this mod, so doing a dieselpunk mod with the same base would be a little too similar.
3. It's way more gigantic than I first thought. It's huge! It makes my CM Stacker 830 look like a little baby.

Thanks man. I got the TJ11 on a trade for my Android tablet so it was really cheap. Plus damaged so that also brought down the price.

Maybe do a scratch build?

That's awesome that you were able to get a really good deal on it.

From my sketches I've been thinking scratch build might be the way to go, or a well built case that I strip down to the frame and rebuild everything that goes on it.
