Salty_Pepperpot

Hah no tickets here I'm pretty sure I understand what you're saying- Something like this? It does get rid of the tricky S-bend at the top. Good shout!

Nice to be here, cheers. I've been planning this for ever at this point, there's always been a spec list floating around somewhere- I'm so pleased its finally happening. Thanks for the tip, I found a cheap and hopefully cheerful 2TB PNY XLR8 I'll tray and squeeze into the budget. It does make more sense.

Cheers. I was trying to get the next post in before anyone replied but you're too fast for me Designs Above! Another great case. I also loved the Stacker 830, although I never had the chance to own one.

Let's have a look at the plans. I found a fantastic sketchup model for the case. Everything else is from TuboSquid free files. I've modelled some little bits here and there. I hereby name this build, The Pepperpot! Yeah I know, nothing too ground-breaking, but why change 10 years worth of good ideas? The only part of the waterloop that makes me nervous is the GPU> Reservoir tube. If any experts can lend a thought as to the feasibility I'd appreciate it Apart from that, I'm pretty confident everything is going to work out fine, it's a fairly simple loop. Here's the proposed hardware: CPU : Ryzen 5800 GPU: RTX 3080 RAM: 32/64GB Corsair 3200 MOBO: X570 ROG Strix-E PSU: Silverstone Strider 1000w Storage (If anyone cares): O/S: 512Mb NVMe Games: 1Tb NVMe Media: 8Tb HDD Projects: 4Tb HDD Projects Backup: 4TB HDD Adobe Projects: 1TB SSD All I need to buy is the Games NVMe, the rest has been collected over the years. I really like having separate storage for separate things. Here's a list of watercooling bits: CPU Block Quantum Momentum X570-E Reservoir EK RES X4 250 (R2.0) Radiator EK Coolstream 480 Radiator EK Coolsteam 240 Pump Aquacomputer D5 Next GPU Block Heatkiller 3080 (if it looks nice) GPU Backplate Heatkiller 3080 Backplate Coolant Mayhem's Dye & Distilled Water All kinds of 3/8-5/8 (16mm) fittings and tubes also. And a few tools to get them bent etc etc etc. As I mentioned before I'll be getting lots of aftermarket parts from ColdZero, Martamod. A few cable combs from Clockwerk. Monitoring stuff from Aquacomputer. Loop cleaning stuff and fluid from Mayhems. I decided I have far too much money so I'm going to sleeve my own cables. Cablemod was pretty expensive anyway so why not go whole hog? I got a little test package the other day from MDPCx with a few items. Sample sleeves & shrink for size and colour, 15AWG wire and various crimps, connectors and terminals. Thanks to the sample bits I've decided on the sizes of sleeve and colours. Introducing the ghetto studio for crap-tacular pictures. They cant be any worse than the ones in the first post! So this was an unexpected contender. Stripey sleeve! I think it looks really cool, and I'd love to use it but it just wont fit into the theme for this one. Maybe next time. After playing for a little while I've come up with From left to right: Shade 19, Papaya Orange, and Oxide Orange. Snazzy. I've decided to use Small XTC with transparent heatshrink. I'm going to do Lutro's heatshrinkless method. I actually decided on 17 AWG wire as I thought 15 AWG was really tricky to get into the connector when it had been sleeved. Subsequent practice has made me realise this is not the case, I was just doing it shittily. Never mind. The difference is very slight. I'm going to use white wire for the oranges and black for the Shade19 sleeve. (The right backing colour makes a huge difference. I was really surprised to see how much better the colours look on the appropriate background). Im using small XTC sleeve as it fits nicer and I like the tighter weave. I have also received a Silverstone ST-1000 PTS. I've had one of these running for the last 10 years and it's been flawless. I was actually debating weather to keep it going for this build too, but the matter was decided for me when my other half decided to short some pins to test the Ryzen System when it was getting built. Magic Purple Smoke, goodbye PSU So this is the same thing as my old one, except its shorter now! It's not amazingly high rated on the PSU lists but I trust them. Also, it's a 1:1 pinout with only one split cable on the ATX 24pin, so sleeving is going to be so easy compared to others! (I hope) Package arrived yesterday so I'm getting the log up-to-date for another post soon. I hope this is actually interesting Cheers Ninja Edit to Include less teeny image of render:

Hi all! So back in the ye olde days of the internet I used to lurk on XtremeSytems and there was introducted to the Holy Grail of computer case modding through Charles Harwood and his MillionDollarPC TJ07 builds. Ah so beautiful! So shiny! I bought my TJ07 from the now defunct ChilledPC, with the view to get it watercooled and all fancy like the big boy MuderMods. Obviously I'm a little late, because that was back in 2010 and its still dry as a bone. But not for long! Welcome to my first ever build log! So the plan is to * finally* re-crerate my very own MurderMod- style TJ07. I'm not going to lie, there's not going to be much originality here as a thousand better modders have been here before and done it all (and better). Then again, it's been so long that everyone might have forgotten what a TJ07 is..... and anyway, if nothing else this log will been in homage to all the amazing work from the MurderBox guys, MillionDollarPC, xForma, and everyone else who did a sick build in this case. Hopefully there will be some useful information for someone to find in this post- most of the xtremeSystem builds have been lost to Photobucket failures, and even my carefully collected bookmarks folder of builds on Overclocked has been nuked by the forum upgrade. Dying build logs about a dead case.. maybe I'll call this one The Crypt Blah blah blah, get on with it. Picture time! What a beauty! I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 3400g/GTX 1080/32Gb on a mini ITX board because my X99/6850k system motherboard decided to stop booting, so it looks extra tiny in this case. Check out my awesome orange Xigmatek fans! 10 years old and still going strong Theres some mods been done to this by ChilledPC as well. I got the internals powdercoated, a new window cut, inverted ATX layout as i think it looks so much better in a TJ07, and a quad radiator bracket. I did a couple of tiny mods too, replacing the front bay USB ports with a little 3.5" fan controller and I also changed the front Status LED's to orange ones. Because orange is the best colour. There's a terrible hacksawed cable routing hole along the rear midplate that needs cleaning up too. I'll be grabbing some parts from ColdZero, and maybe a midplate from MartaMod. Surprisingly, the aftermarket parts scene for this case is still going strong. A testament to how awesome this case is! I apologise for the obvious neglect Ill make it up to you TJ07 I promise! First things first, need to move existing hardware to a new case and start the TJ07 healing process X This buildlog is sponsored by Pepper, Financial Advisor & General Assistant, MD, BSc (Hons) She is ready to begin. Sythe Himuro's might get reused as they are so cool. We shall see. Unfortunately these guys wont. Enjoy your retirement, I will always be your biggest... fan..... Venerable GTX 1080. Might end up using it for another year at this rate, if Nvidia don't pull their finger out. Maybe pigs will become airbourne and AMD will produce a competitive high end GPU! We need the competition that's for sure! Wanted to picture this as its a very cool feature of the case. The whole tray slides out the back so you can work on it with loads of access! Safe and sound in another decent case- a H440 I think it is. So much room for activities! I will take it apart completely as its 99% screws (not rivets) and give it a very good clean. Very simple to take apart. Maybe that's why the aftermarket parts scene is so decent for this case? Pepper is very sad and has been relegated to the sofa after discovering she doesn't have opposable thumbs and is therefore quite useless as an assistant. Good work Pepper.

For the price that sounds awesome! One more for the gaming community well done
