its ok larr..

but i always leave one molex outside accessible incase want to test something like fan etc...

real case is on blue light... not led.. h

that one really geng.. the whole case like lit up..

need to do a bit of rewiring since it was done for sli and now running single card.. so got two pcie not being used..

leceh to take pics.. but will be doing it soon to complete the HR03 plus article.

did this photo just because a friend of mine didnt beleive that this case is really that good...
took only 2 hours to set it up which half an hour was spend measuring the wire lengths.
my only cons.. theres not enough inflow front front fan... hence used the cooler master crossflow fan to have more airflow around the mobo

Nice work on the rig cstkl1. Overall the Mercury offers easy installation of a WC system within a casing. Good for anyone wanting to try it out.

I agree with you that the case does give some prob on the front intake. All Gigabyte cases has the same issues i suppose since my poseidon, my bro's 3D Aurora both has similar prob with front intake. I had to fit another fan after the HDD cage to get better airflow.

yeah dude.. this case is cheap.. ive been telling ppl that

i know the price is Rm1300 but ask ure self
ure buying a water cooling setup thats beats the best air cooling by a bit
and u get a full atx
the cable mangement is easy
and to upgrade ure watercooling setup in the future is possible with 3rads at the top..

heck the amount of space left above the PSu i thin u can run a nother WC for the GPU..kekeke

and best of the cable management for this damn kacang and taking out and putting back the mobo also easy..

TOTALL RECOMMENDED...

nothing can beat the TJ07..

just that do u need that much space.

also without any kinda of mod the TJ07 is actually quite ugly..
