King Kong's sponsors :-
















Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Look what I just picked up today. It's a looooooooooooooooooooooovely new cage for King Kong. I will call this worklog King Kong II. This will now be my main Gaming rig. I'd like to say a big thank you to my generous sponsors, Silverstone-Inter Asia Technology Sdn. Bhd, Team Xtreem RAM, Arctic Cooling, E-Devices Technology Sdn. Bhd.


Here's sum pix of how the stock standard Silverstone TJ07. I'll start modding it in the next few days after I finish off the mods on Casemod MiniMe.
Look at how big the box is. It's humongous! It's as tall as my kitchen counter if u look carefully at the pix. How tall is that? Just go to ure kitchen n imagine the box is as tall as ure kitchen cabinets.









Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, King Kong's new cage is coming out. Even just peeking out like that, u can see just how lovely that aluminum chassis is.










More pix coming right up. Editing pix now.

waoooooo another big project.... c2q x6700 lor.... hi end gaming comp

sponsor as in FREE?!!! lucky you, abbandon your lianli soon?

Wow, silver case Good for you uncle

EDIT:

Since one of our dear forumer deemed this post as spam, I shall now insert some opinions into my post.

First of all, this case is huge. It is admired by other forumers in another forum and is taken to be one of the best cases around.

Btw, yup, it's full aluminum and that means light weight(weighing at 12.9kgs, it is light, considering its size) too

I believe it also has good air flow, as it has 4 120mm blowholes and 2 92mm blowholes for fans.

I personally do not own this case as it's kind of expensive, with a pricetag of RM1k ++

ohhhpp~~~ new toys !

hmm... what a large case .... any speculation of what u will be working on with this case ???

wah...nice cage ah...where's the king kong? huhu... rroooooaaarrrrrr...!!!

What would u do with the Lian Li case ?? secondary rig ??

anyway why can't show photo of the case itself or just want to lure as more...

oh ok , you did something wrong too , just report us , not to quote out our mistakes .

*btw mr.ho , lol , the case inside is aluminum ? im looking forward to buy one .

wah... lucky uncle... then ur king kong one how? use to surf web with 8800 inside n use sli 8800 in this new king kong?

u think really free meh?
he say thx becoz he bought from the company.. hahahaha
rite uncle?

EDITED: didn't see the sponsor word.. pai seh pai seh

he say sponser wor.... not free mer?

I think the casing is sponsored by SilverStone. As said by uncle, this will be his main rig. So, I think he will relocate his hardwares(currently in the Lian-Li) into this Tj07. I guess he'll use the Lian-Li as his surfing rig

OK. The pix editing is done. Here comes more pix of the case.

Front 3 quarters view. That's the most beautiful part of this case. That front panel is actually 1 whole piece of aluminum starting from the top to the front to the bottom. The case consists of that single piece n the 2 side panels. Looooooovely. Just lovely.












Left side view.









Right side view.











Top of the case. It's got a really nice exhaust with 2x120mm fans up there. I can install a really nice 2x120mm radiator there if I ever get back into watercooling.














Rear view. Look at the bottom section. It can take 2 PSUs.











Internal pix.







Well, that's all I can do tonight. I just got home with the case just now. Will commence with the mods ASAP.

wuhh , so far , the silver TJ07 looks much better than the black one .

wahh uncle.. nice case u got there.. i really like da white color.. carnt wait to see how u mod that case

eh silver?, thot u were more of a black casing kinda guy, anyway u planning any kind of filters for the bottom hdd cages, also abit curious as to how loud running all those fans will be....anyway this casing is tough as door nails, i actually sat on one after reading a reviewer doing so

anyway figured sooner or later u were gonna move over to a server size casing lol

Btw, I saw the internals are white in colour. Aren't they supposed to be aluminum? Or are those just sticker to protect the interior from scratches?

I think uncle will firstly cut a side window for this baby. About the next, I'm too sure.. How about adding some wheels to give this case some mobility?

Good, the first one is not even done yet, now we are moving to version 2 of king kong...

Owh, i purely hate you ianho...

Hate you because i admire you so much...

Uncle got too many strings to get sponsors oh, can sell me your old cage?

I'll be using the current hardware I have now in my main rig with a few new parts in it. Quad core, I will wait for the real monolithic quad cores instead of the current "fake" 2 in 1 Conroes.





I'm not abandoning the LL V1200B. The mods will continue.







Wah! U really know a lot about teh TJ07 eh? U've answered almost everything there is to know about the case d.







Well, I have a few basic ides already. I'll sit down n haf a brainstorming session soon.








SLi? Did u say SLi?






Yeah I like it too. It matches my workstation nicely coz the silver aluminum matches the silver aluminum Apple monitors on my table.






Where got white color? It's all silver aluminum.






Sponsor gif silver case so I just take silver case lor.
It really is tough as nails. The single piece chassis construction is made using automotive panel stamping machines. Really solid.








It's silver aluminum. Mebe the exposure of the pix makes it look whitish. I'm currently undecided on wheels or bling bling case feet.

so sleepy today.. even my eyes carnt open.. silvers seems like white.hate my bos. need to stay inda office until now

nice case, btw can you check whether have this issue? as i saw at 1 preview.

http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/258-3...+MidTower+Case/

"After I had installed a computer in the case and turned it on, I noticed that the front panel LEDs are mislabeled. The hard drive activity LED has the power icon while the power LED has the HDD activity icon."

Wooo nice casing

btw how did you get sponsored? Request?

Lucky uncle you.Best modder wif lotza ideas...God bless your crazy yet superb ideas lar....

God, your ol' King Kong just gets bigger and bolder with each passing day So how did thou end up getting a FREE, aka Sponsored case at this magnitude? Frequent buyer points?

Well, I read the article in that link u provided. I certainly dont haf any probs with the build quality n the stuck side panels, HDD cages n all that. Everything fits n works perfectly in mine. I suppose those problems were the 1st batch of cases.







Yes. Pls drop by at the Silverstone League to get poisoned.






There will most certainly be a King Kong III n King Kong IV n so on. I'm a chronic upgrader.

Added on February 1, 2007, 8:53 pmHad sum spare time on my hands just now. Stripped the case down to study the structure n construction of the case. This will allow me to get more ideas on what to mod n how to mod it later. There's a lot of things to study b4 really getting down to modding it coz this case is really modular. It's like a box of Lego blocks. practically the whole case can be stripped down n removed to individual parts. So far I've only seen 3 rivets. The rest r all screws. Anyway, here's a pic of the mobo tray removed.






See how bare the case is after removing the mobo tray? That's because it's so modular. The mobo tray's rails can b removed too. That leaves just the 2 support bars standing at the back. I'm thinking BTX style conversion to make it like my LL V1200.

what btx style, u kidding rite

isit possible

dude, u're talkin to IANHO.. do u think it can happen? hahahaha

thanks for the answer, so Silverstone really have done something. btw how thick the side panel?, compare to your Lian-li case?

since Ianho said the mobo tray's rail can be remove... So i think its more easier to do the BTX converting compare with non mobo tray... hope im not wrong

ooo, i miss that word, if the mobo tray's rail can be remove then easy la, at 1st i thought it can't be remove

anyway, really love the interior paint so so silver different from Lian Li

hey bro ianho, does this case got any visible scratches on em

Interior paint? There's no paint. It's just silver alu. No paint at all. Scratches? What scratches?

hah there's no paint? then why it isn't shining like ur mobo tray

It's original colour.

It is the special patern that most aluminum case possess ..

imagine the hole case shine like the mobo tray ,,, u would being blinded with the flash and reflection from the case ...

that's why most alunimun case has the whole exterior design with non reflective surface ... but it also caught thumb print easily ..

hopefully all the King Kong Series worklog will be complete, otherwise keep see New King Kong unfinished worklog...

Just joking...

Chrome it? *Hint Hint*

Updatessssssssssssssss.........................


I've been studying the structure n also checking out some mods on the net for ideas. I started a part of the major mods today. I'm gonna strip out everything, n I mean EVERYTHING. Remember I told u guys this case is like a box of Lego blocks? Well, it really is. Check out the stripping work below.





Started by removing the mobo tray, tray rails n the top exhaust fans n mesh mounting.










View from the top.











Sum pix of the chassis mounting joints. They're all screwed together. This 1 is a pic of the lower part of the ROM cage.









Side view of the ROM cage.











Top of the ROM cage.













After removing all those screws, the entire ROM cage structure comes out just like that.










It's now time to remove that divider plate between the mobo n PSU sections of the case. I hafta remove the USB ports at the front n sum screws on the sides b4 I can remove the divider plate.










That's all for the day folks. It's late now n I gotta get sum sleep. No more Vampire mods nowadays. I'll continue with more work on it 2moro.

this is real serious work man! nice start, hope to see more.

wah the whole case can be dissemble to bare bone only ... not bad not bad ..

anyway uncle ... does the aluminum of this case is thicker than Lian Li case in general ?? it looks quiet thick to me ...

Don't worry, more updates coming up later in the day. The mods r gonna progress pretty quick now as I haf cleared off my backlog of other mods at last. I also can't wait to get my hardware into this super nice case.






Yes the alu is a lot thicker. The main unibody section(the U shaped part which makes up the top, front n bottom) itself is 4mm thick in the mid section n 8mm thick on the rim section. Here's a pic to show u what I mean.

realyl a nice casing with the silver colour all around the case....
