damn nice work.....bigger pics?

shame to show such quality work on small pics

Just transfered my hardware form my P180 to this TJ-09, not alot of space behind the HDD cages, it barely fits my sata cables as i mount my HDDs in reverse , but this will do for now as i am awaiting new parts before doing some serious "cable hiding" with some holesaw action on the mobo tray and paint it black....

that's very neat and clean, but may i suggest that you can push ur HDDs further up front is possible? it will look cleaner if the cables are hidden within the HDD cage, or mount it in reverse so the sata and power cable face the front of the casing..

nice work.

@Zangetsu, you've got alot to do to make things neat in there, unplug all the cables and just do it one by one, just route the cables one by one, things will become clearer as you go along...

it's all about patience, routing and rerouting, trial and error....put in a couple of hours effort and post here again, you can do it!!!

not bad, ianho did that for you?

@sliqueliques, is that a cable management attempt? or just some pics of ur casing's internal?

nice work man, but the HDD cannot go any further into the front?

not bad, it will be neater if you find ways to tuck the power and sata cables into the HDD cage...

this is my modded case(painted the insed flat black), i hide the sata and power cables by cutting a few holes in the mobo tray, and tuck in the rest of the cables inside the 5.25" bays....

i am editing the photos, i'll post more soon....

thanks

thanks

thanks man, yea, here's a photo of the back with all the cable routing, i posted more pics in the Silverstone thread...

i posted alot more photos in the Silverstone thread...check it out
it is a TJ-09, the window style front of TJ-10 not my cuppa tea...

thanks

@DaRkSyThE...very good....almost as good as mind....

building a second rig for backup purpose...minimalist approach...and blue and black color scheme...even the 9600GT was chosen for it's color
these are some pic of my work in progress....still have DVD-rom and a HDD to add in, in terms of cables, left a sata , a IDE and the front panel usb connectors....


the Silverstone Strider ST50F dont come sleeved...but i want it cuz of the blue fan
i sleeved the ATX connector, sleeving the wires two by two....


here's a closer look...


here is an overall look, i got this casing from pcmoddingmy...took the HDD cages, going as minimal as i can...
the internals are powder coated black, only the mobo tray was chromed, so i sprayed the tray matte black...

i will post more pics when it's completed, waiting for a few more hardware to arrive

my build is finally done....in terms of hardware at least..

here are some pics of the internals:


took out the ram cooler cuz wanna show the ram...coincides perfectly with the color code
the cables of the front panel connectors are covered in heat shrink...cuz i ran out of black sleeve so are the usb connector cables....
one thing that bugs me is the DVD-writer cable....maybe shud buy a Sata writer ...


closer view to show the cacingness in the drive bay...


even close view..notice the sticker of the galaxy 9600GT? blue


front of ze case...a dvd writer and a Scythe Kamabay...no gaps tis time.


back....chrome,came like this stock...put on some Silverstone aeroslots...


transparent side panel attached...couldnt get a good picture...reflection..


anyhow that's my build, as always i build it with lots of attention in cable management...any comments and suggestion are welcome...

Added on March 26, 2008, 3:08 ampainted that long time ago...used it on my other build, was just trying it on...

thanks for the comment

yep! not only i painted it, i also tried drilling holes on the tray and fail miserably...wakakakaka..

spraying it matte black made hiding cables much easier...stealth is the name of the game...
go ahead and paint and post the results here!

all in the spirit of modding!

rare case indeed, very fortunate i got it from pcmodding bro..at a decent price as well...
allu design? chrome you mean...it's still allu, just painted allu now....

[blue parts(cooler,ram,gc,fans,etc..) are pretty common, so scouting for the parts are pretty easy, go ahead man!

thinking of doin a green machine next.....DFI board, nvidia card,Zalman 9700NT....hmmnn...

thanks! one sata burner on the way!

thanks man!got new black Sata cable form uglyvamp, nice length 1 meter,good for cable management ...currently using for my HDD, look at my sata port...

yep D80... no point putting so much effort into da build and cannot put on decent pics..heheh..

dun mean it..the cam is not even mine, me bro's hehe..paiseh
was suppose to get the lianli PC07, but everywhere out of stock for the black one
but feel lucky i got this instead...

since i do not use the 3.5" HDD cage, that's no a prob, i use a SilenX HDD cooler that fits into my 5.25" bay....

yep, the sata writer is on it's way, will post the updated pics later...thanks!

tq man, you shud like my previous build too,i posted in this thread before, check it out:



the psu is also on the bottom like sooyewguan' case, btw, nice work sooyewguan

thanks

it's TJ-09, no esa...

thanks man, couldnt invest too much on superhigh-end hardwares, so do things like this to satisfy meself

TJ-09 bro, got it pretty cheap from a forumer...never really like TJ-10 front panel window...

the TJ-09 is not an ideal case for cable management, the space behind the mobo tray is minimal, i cut some holes and paint, about 4-5 days, most of the time spent on waiting the paint to be completely dry before applying the next layer....

compare to the silverstone, the Akasa casing is a dream to do cable work, good amount of space behind the mobo tray, and big holes already cut.....took me alot less time on the case itself, but i spend some time on sleeving the PSU and other cables.....

it's not 100% yet, still waiting for the sata burner and gonna try to hide the front switches connectors behind the mobo tray, stay tuned!

why da hell not?
look at normally sleeve 24-pin connector, non of them get to cover the cables all the way without showing the multi-color wires...there you go


it's called contrast....



i guess everyone has their own definition of "cool"...never like "bling" stuff too much...

cutting a hole on the PSU will void it's waranty ....i rather void the "warranty" on the casing .....
