wow...tht copper rails is really a good job....might even be able to double up as a heatpipe...really gotta admire this kinda work...hats off for precision planning and tooling , actually no words do it justice except to admire

ianho: what can i say.... damn that is nice man, look clean inside.

wah...what a lovely casing...smart,neat and tidy bro...

Well, it doesn't always hafta b full aluminum to be a nice case. The TJ06 is a fantastic case if ure the type who uses a stock HSF on the CPU. That windtunnel does an exceptional job of cooling the stock HSF. Also the semi aluminum construction makes the case affordable.






Well, I dont think ure gonna haf a chance to c his method of making the rails. He sold the rights to Ultra Power Supplies. They're already at prototype stage from what I've read.






Well, let's hope Ultra comes out with a solution for mass production. *fingers crossed*





Awesome! Twin loop water cooling, 1 loop for the CPU, 1 loop for the Quad SLi.

I think they're already going to use it for their upcoming carbon fiber casing:

They're calling it the Patented Power Distribution System.

That definitely looks way safer and I guess that will be the new concept in terms of case designs. I wonder when those chinamen case makers will come up with a cheaper copy/version of that idea. It is a confirm boon for case modders and overclockers as it reduces cable mess.

It looks safer, but I have to say, the [H]ardForum dude's acrylic + copper version looks cooler. Altho I'm not putting too high hopes on this case because Ultra tends to be a company that focuses more on bling and less on function.

Not too sure if the rails will shock you, but the modder himself said that he did not get shock when he was touching the rails even when the power was switched on. There's no (or less, I forgot ) heat emitting from the rails.

Impressive mod I should say. I like it too

Btw, is the heat dissipation of SECC same as aluminum?

aluminium sure got better hear dissipate than SECC..but if got good airflow inside SECC casing, should be great..

Remember the theory we learned in school about y the birds sitting on 1 hi powered electric line doesn't get fried? U touch 1 rod sure no prob. If u bridge 2 n short the thing sure will boom.

Not really, as the casing does not come in contact with the computer components. A casing's heat dissipation is purely dependent on the airflow of the casing. Correct me if i am wrong.

how about if touch two casing at one time??joking....

not really need to in contact actually. heat need to travel in a medium.so, it can travel via air and also can get through metal.in this case, just when it travel from air to metal, sure Alu which have better heat dissipation properties can dissipate out the heat from the case well...at least this is what i learn after 3 years become materials engineering student...

Oh, ok. But let's say you have a very good airflow in the case, then the air circulation would bring majority of the heat out of the casing instead of dissipating through the alu panel right? So the material only affects at most 1-2 C?

Btw, i am not doubting your knowledge, just wanna know more. Sorry if i've offended you in anyways.

haha...i'm not offended la.we are here to share aour knowledge right??yess, u r right.that's what i mention earlier,air circulation will help the most to vent out the heat.so, if u have good/improved air circulation inside ur case, heat prob no more....

Thanks for the clarification. Just wanna gain some knowledge.

LOL. rainingzero is materials engineer, hypermax is doctor, but I'm the case modding witch doctor n I say alu cases FTW!

Guys,

what about the color, coz I remember last time in physics class, it says black is quick in heat release and also heat absorption while silver resists the high better while release heat less quick too. How true does this applies to the casing colors ?

Edit: Or was that in thermodynamics or chemistry class ?

No leh, if full alu black case same will cool down coz the case also act as a heat sink mah..

Imagine Zalman fan less case, black colour BOX

Many moons ago...some site did a direct comparison between the alu and steel identical Chenming chassis.

The results --> Exactly the same temp.

So.. NO... not even 1-2C (which is margin of error anyways)
