TO be updated again when all is complete.

This one has humble hardware inside, but loud outside

___________________________________________________________________________

Updated barebone case pictures.

Completely re-anodized. Look at the details

Entire casing was ripped apart, un-riveted, unscrewed piece by piece before going through the process. Was a 5days work for the workshop guys.

Well gentlemen, if u are wondering if i did it myself, no sadly, i dont know how to. It was done by a Singapore based local workshop. Professionally done.

As for the cost of doing it, its more than the casing.

nice color for tj09 hehe but i preffer blak

looking forward on seeing great modding from u TS

"....well they encourage all complete co-operation
send you roses when they think you need a smile
I cannot control myself because I dunno how
and they love me for it, honestly, I'll be here for a while

so give them BLOOD, BLOOD,
Gallons of the stuff
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough,
So give them BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD,
Grab a glass because there's going to be a FLOOD.....

mcr-blood

the title remind me of this song...

Wow, TS seems to repaint the whole TJ-09, let see how TS mod his TJ-09, cant wait to see some nice casing with hardware installed in it... gogoogog

Actually the colour looks classy thow

I hope it doesn't dissappoint as the hardware is not very bombastic like my previous works..

Currently trying to get some red lighting done properly inside.

LOL...this is casing n modification section. so we would like to see some great modded case...
not only the hardwares..

its been a while since ur last worklog...looking forwards this thread...

edit:typo

cant wait to sell full set case bro....

who cares about the hardwares inside or outside ...

It's the whole as opposed to the some that matter ..

Lots of foreign modder put lowed end hardwares but work on the design, theme and concept to achieve superb mod .. of course quality and craftsmanship comes into play as well..

It's a good starting, I love the photo, probably u could take the photo under orange light condition, that would enhanced the red color theme...

I love the blood RED....
can't wait to see the whole pic~

This is one thing which is worth waiting.
Re-anodizing the whole casing must have cost alot.

Damn,i cant wait for this Re-Anodizing work going.
For those who have TJ09,must have a lot of dough,so no need to care about COSTS.

i have one

This looks like its going to be a good one. Awaiting for more pictures then.

looks like a digital storm hardware............ nice ...we dun get to see this often

well it true the hardware inside or outside does not matter too much, it the worksmanship and idea that come 1st......

cant wait to see what coming up soon.......

Woo...Gary..

Put in your shop to display ar?

Wait.
Gary does re-anodizing? How much? (treat lim kopi ai mai for one reanodizing workjob)

Saw some pics of the Lian-Li which looks like the Soldam Arcadia XR-2 Black Knight theme that day and I was impressed.. (but this was POWDERcoating.. much more expensive)

The surface is much more smoother compared to the original.
Should be a blast. Can't wait to see it once done.

yup he done damn smooth... we all cant wait till it done liao n post the pic

u repaint or duno how u did ! WOW!

oohh... red!! cant wait for more pictures!!...

gary no update yet?

updated 10x barebone case pictures, enjoy on the 1st page.

wow :droll: nice one bro :thumb: seem like soldam case

HOly ... I love how it turned out to be ..

although from the pictures, it's not as shine like soldam is [probably due to photography technique and post processing]....

the color theme is really nice, what sort of hardwares it would be in .??

red hot ATI babe

btw, real life soldam is not that bright also ...

i've worked on it b4 too, will post some pics up here, still digging my database

___________________________________________________________

here are some pictures of the soldam we work on mid-last year.

Will update again with clearer close up pictures.

It was a rather cramp system, with little room for touching here & there.
Soldam claimed silent, but we do not think so, it is silent due to the fact that all of the fans are pretty low CFM fans. THe rear of the case at the exhaust is quite noisy.

oops .. off topic liao, maybe i should start another thread with my review on the soldam chasis instead.

That's not painting.
It's anodizing.

re-anodized..really nice. from the pics the brushed alu texture not affected.
if using normal paint, the texture wont visible again...

dun wan to do like this ker tu ur TJ07?

wakaka no money lor ..bought much stuff dy

nice one

really hot la.perfect combination of colors.

but how u ionized wo>>> mind share!

Even if he share it with you, you won't be able to do it yourself.
You'd have to look for some workshops that offers ionizing services.

Nice colour scheme for the TJ09. Red + gold

gentlemen, anodize is the correct word. actually i'm not very well versed on putting colors on aluminium material.

it is the professional guys at the workshop that did the job.

well, the original case was black. sadly, the original black has to be "stripped" off. it was removed with some chemical. then the aluminium is treated again with other chemical b4 blood is added. when the color is red, it is finally treated again. ah .. this is part of all i know guys. really sorry, wasn't there for the process.

but next case we send in, i will be there to take down the process !!

the gold part is treated a bit differently, it is easier. but its not anodize on the gold part, its something else, can't remember the technical term for that.

bro nice bro red + gold really2 nice i love it

wah damm chum y no one tried exept for u ! i wana do where to do ?

haha...i can see from ur siggy...

he always say no money later he do sumthing diam2 one haha

classy colour...

damn nice anodized-red (i still prefer powder coating though)

3.5 bay device --> is that a card reader?

that thing + dvd-burner gonna ruin the blood red look

i think sure uglyvamp gonno spray it to red... tempting to see it....
unless he use bezel n paint it to red

Ok guys, i know that the final result wont be very bombastic after reading all your comments. i feel a bit shy to post actually.

hence, i'm posting up this earlier soldam project as supplement first before giving u the final ones of BLOOD.

The SOLDAM indeed has better anodized finishing over the silverstone. even the black anodize from soldam is better quality, better done than silverstone's or Lianli's. They certainly have top-notch finishing.

Here u go :

nice...long time waiting for picture

thx man . i'm just waiting for another post b4 i can add more pictures. cheers.


btw all, if u guys dont like or feel that something is not supposed to be like that, voice it out ok. dont paiseh.

my personal opinion on this rig : nothing special except that its re-anodized. there isn't much to see inside like i told u guys earlier, its just some humble hardware inside. and no modding jobs like cutting. re-anodized or re-color is considered modding also right ?

anyway, we've another project on hand at the moment, this one will take a longer while as some of the liquid cooling hardware not arrive yet. our past liquid cooled systems are all monstrous size. the next one is a micro size casing. gonna be cute cos its for a girl. the theme is : Glamour

so long gentlemen .....

** any other smaller projects can be spotted at our blog instead ***



cable management on TJ-09 is definitely like a finger in the ass ( no i never try b4 !! )
our style to counter this part is revert the Harddrive cage the other way round with the connectors facing behind instead. this can be done by simply reversing the 2 slide in bracket. then the bottom cage is removed to accomodate all loose cables. the rear of the case behind the mobo area has little space for hiding cables.

The final products looks awesome man..the setup is neat..
my comment is the red is not red enough hehe

yo gary..uve done a BTX mod on a TJ09 before right?

how difficult was it to do?

nice casing there...the watercooling setup also nice..
if the coolant got more red in colour, then it would be nicer...

just like this one, taken from Hardforum:

madman -

yes it was darn difficult, alot of small little mod to do like cutting, filling & the new holes for the mobo tray must be very accurate if not, mobo wont slide in well. i'll post some pics for this one here.

rainingzero - the color is darn nice.. so pity i don't have it yet, but just ordered some color dye from usa, dont know how it'll turn out


btw, yes, i feel the liquid color is not red enough, its PC ICE brand. under uv lighting its actually quite orange in color & not under uv, its more like pink in color. t

customer actually didn't want much lighting so we never install too much blink stuffs. the finishing of the chasis's red color is infact better in real life than in picture. i notice the red is a bit blur out when picture is resized down.

all in all, i think u guys are a bit dissappointed cos i'm.

Nope, not at all disappointed. A really nice project. Keep up the good work bro

little dissapointed with the front panel, the bay devices

DVD-Burner & Card Reader --> aren't u gonna paint it to red?

well the color scheme to match with black is kinda okay if those 5" bay devices are filled with black color face plate devices

just my opinion

anything else is B-E-A-U-tiful

thanks for ur valuable advices,

i've tried to spray plastic cd-rom / FDD or memory card reader to other colors instead but the finishing usually dont turn out nice

the spray tend to "drip" at 1 corner. my spray job really bad man.

so i checked with BLOOD's owner & he's ok with it remaming black, kinda of can match the side intake mesh area & the top mesh area.
hmm...

anyhow, thank u all for watching this one. !!

brother gary ur work very need n nice man even the cable management oso good... two thumbs for u bro

nicely done. love the cable management.

hello~~~10q..bravo~

The red color look so much like the Ferrari red to me.

the thing that make it match was the gold color.....

The casing (TJ-09) itself also play an important role. I believe this red would not look as nice if it's been paint to other brand of casing.

uglyvamp , u use wad type of paint to paint the case??

i wish i have the expertise on modding plus the unlimited tools~



uglyvamp : u the man!

its not painted.

IF NOT PANITED THEN USE WAD??

Ionized la ***!

Didn't your momma teach you to open your eyes when she's teaching?
Open your eyes and read the title.

they just never read straight post

indeed they just read the last post or maybe did not read at all

wakakakakaa! wanan kena slap liao lo !

you guys don't just slap him, ok this is what called "anodized"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodising

btw, personal prefer anodizing internal parts all in Black color.

This post has been edited by Gamer: Mar 24 2008, 01:25 PM

U spray it? or original color?

lol another one

duh

do u even read the posts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodized

actually anodizing is only for aluminum .. as u can see clearly there are parts which are gold in colour which is another type of treatment ...

simply because those aluminum parts has some screws or parts which are not aluminum .. thus u cannot anodize

unless u remove all those NON aluminum parts then u can anodize the rest .. which is very hard cos most of the part are machine pressed and if u can remove it .. u might not be able to put it back due to aluminum weak structure

.. Cost over the chassis.. The colours is perfect i can say

I just felt that all these people just simply drop a sentence or two to accumulate their post ...

this happened in many other thread as well ..

no constructive post ... purely spamming ...

why such people never get warned ....

Because se7en didn't approve me as a moderator. LOL

Nah.
Most people do that to increase their post number and in return, increase the size of their e-penis [stars]

all ppl din read ma duno wht anodize is lor.. btw ts rename the casing into Ironman... the colour scheme looks ironman to me... hahaha

from what i know .. the full anodizing cost more than the casing itself

beautiful.

you know what, the color does remind me of Iron Man
btw, nice work on the case uglyvamp! simply stunning
