    Hello Guys I have been working on this build in my spare time over the past few weeks as I needed a workstation as my main gaming rig is not finished yet and  my last finished one GT3 RS has been sold due to an offer I could not refuse.
    I have been using a test bench as my daily driver and it had to be sorted so I wanted to create a moody and dark PC to suit the MSI X99 SLI Plus board and this TJ07 was the one I used last year for my Red Candy PC it had been an empty shell with need for stripping normally I would take a case and have it dipped in acid but I wanted to do all this myself for that extra bit of pride knowing the toil and hours of work are worth it .. 
     
     

     
    Then I took it round to my friends powder coating shop and had it done in a nice matte black the internals did not need stripping or new finish just a clean up as I knew a steel mid plate will be going in and I am  not using the optical rails. 
     

     

     
    The MNPCTech Feet also got coated they was a little worse for ware and needed some love you can also see the Cooler Master Silencio PWM fans which are very quite and seem to have good Static Pressure .

    So 1st thing was making the new mid plate this was a piece of 1mm thick steel picked up at B&Q 
     
     
     
    drilled and riveted it for that industrial / moody look I was going for in my head 


     

     
     
    Got some of the old Caustic Soda out for removing anodizing .. 
     

     

     

     

     
    Pump is braided and mounted ...

    Small update with a few pics I took whilst playing about with the lighting, It is going for a little photo shoot in the morning so I shall be concluding this small project log with some good shots this week.
     

     

     

     
    These were taken with a very high ISO but the mood of the PC is captured well I feel.
     
    Bye for now

    Hello Guys I have been working on this build in my spare time over the past few weeks as I needed a workstation as my main gaming rig is not finished yet and  my last finished one GT3 RS has been sold due to an offer I could not refuse.
    I have been using a test bench as my daily driver and it had to be sorted so I wanted to create a moody and dark PC to suit the MSI X99 SLI Plus board and this TJ07 was the one I used last year for my Red Candy PC it had been an empty shell with need for stripping normally I would take a case and have it dipped in acid but I wanted to do all this myself for that extra bit of pride knowing the toil and hours of work are worth it ..

    Hi again folks this is my last update with some finished pics of the build before it is packed away for the Insomnia 55 Lan in August.
    Want to take the time again to  thank EK Waterblocks , MSI , Corsair, E22 and Pexon PC's for the support and without them this would not of been possible.
     
    I would like to mention how much fun this project has been for me and  putting my work up against some talent guys makes what I have been doing for the past few years really worthwhile. Thank's for looking and I will see you all again soon with more of my work for those of you who are not fed up of me yet

    Hello people sorry about the long delay in the update just impossible to find the time to dedicate to forum's with the workload I have looking after my mum, the dogs and time for my daughter , whilst trying to earn a few quid from the client builds I am doing/done and the powder coating jobs etc. I have been working on this every week for a few hours and now we have some changes made and a complete PC so here is what has happened in pictures and some words but I think you will understand it ....
     
    1st up I was not happy with the small details not matching on the motherboard , GPU and PSU ..
     

     

     
    Took the block over to E22 and Nate etched this Porsche Badge into the Acetal 
     

     
    The Sexy Pexon PC's Cables with the Corsair HX850i GT3 edition  
     


     

     
    Next up is a pic of the rear of the PC which I painted in a dark grey and the same red I used for the Tubes etc .. 

     
    Had major rethink on the layout as I was not happy so I decided against the second rad as it was not really needed this 360 is ample for the i5 and Titan Black in the loop as the EK Vardar fans are excellent quality.. 

    The SSD was given some detailing to match ^^ 
     

     
    Here are a few shots of the PC in the dark with the MSI logo backlit with red LED 
     
     
     



     
    I decided to make some grey pastel coolant as with White, Emerald green and Red here in this pic I am happy with the match with the light grey in the braid .. 
     
     

     

     

     

     
    I popped her onto the desk last night and I think my table was made for this PC .. and as I have been using a test bench for the last few months it will be nice to have PC in case finished so after the next photo shoot I think I am using this rig for my gaming PC

    Hi again folks i have been a bit unwell for the last few weeks and progress has been slow but we now have a decent update to show you so 1st off here is the laser cut panel for around the motherboard thanks to E22 for the laser magic  
     
     

     
    quick shot of it with some light behind it 

     
    had to make a little adjustment as it was a bit tight against the PSU

     
    To make this light up some metal had to be removed from the case 
     

     
    Fixed in some angled aluminum strips to hold the leds and allow the light to get where it needs to be

     
     
    Made a bracket for the 120mm Rad at the back 
     

     
    Next up the cables from Pexon PCs just pure perfection best in the UK for sure 
     

     
     
    Perfect fit
     
     

     
    I was snapped whilst working on the tubes after deciding to make some grey coolant but paint the tubes red to match the new front grill and as I wanted them to be a little different than just using pastel red as I did in this test run 
     


     
    Anyway the tube went to the paint shed

     
    It will need another coat and some clear coat but this is more what I wanted  
     

     
    This is where we leave you again and I will return next week with more

    Hi again folks its took a few weeks to get back with the 1st update as I have been busy with building some PCs for friends and some Clients but got a lot of pics and a you can now see how the loop will fit inside. 
     
    The 1st thing to be done was get the case powder coated grey and get the vinyls made so with the case being number 09 and the theme being based around the car I have used the 09 as part of a racing livery if you like.. I will be adding a few more not on this back panel just a few small ones here and there so here we are with some pics ..
     

     

     

     
    The Titan Black  with block 


     
    Just a quick tease if the paint color on the front Panel ..

     
     
    Now Time for getting some stuff installed and plan the loop ...
     

     

     
     
     
     
    And this is Dexter my new helper and mascot thanks to MSI
     

     
    The EK Vadar Fans installed 
     

     
     
    So to control the fans I am using this power distribution from mod my toys and dust has been removed bane of my life is dust also installed the pump/ res combo with the EK bracket.
     
     

     
    With this being a sports car we did not need any extra weight that was not making it run cooler so I removed the HDD cage and put an extra 120mm rad in there
     

     

     
    but I will have to swap them black extenders out for black nickel as they will niggle me even If I cannot see them I will know they are there :sigh:
     
    held in with some Parvum cubes until I fabricate a plate for it 
     

     
    Made some new stickers for the Ram 
     

     
    So before I get to cutting and bending the loop this is about where we are at for now 
     

     
    I have decided to get some cables made by the master himself James from Pexon PCs as I have arthritis and the job takes so much time and pain it becomes impossible so I have to stick to fans and pumps and stuff that can be done in half hours for me  and I am also putting in a panel around the motherboard and this will be laser etched but more on that when its done as not a lot I can show you it will be black and red. 
     
    That is where I leave you again while I get to work on the tube by for now folks

    Hi folks whilst I had no plans for starting any other projects until Silver Ghost was finished I got an email from EK waterblocks in January asking me to pick all the stuff I would need to build inside their new limited edition Vulture Case, Obviously this was way to exciting to pass on and that was never ever a thought so I got to thinking about what would look nice in the case............
     

     
     
    Just love the red and grey thing so we are going to try and get in the zone with the colors and with the Case being so dam sexy In my mind they are well matched. 
     
    So this arrived last Friday:
     
     
     
     


     
     
     


     

     

     

     

     

     
    The Case Is Made from 3mm Aluminum held together with 8mm M4 CS bolts and is a fantastic bit of kit this is of no doubt long before you have started to build in it.
     

     
    Inside next
     

     

     



     
     
    And the much talked about curve
     



     
     
    And next the Cooling or most of it as I am minus the 360mm Rad but that will be here very soon 
     

     

     

     


     
     




     

     
     

     
     
     
     
    And Massive thanks to MSI for supporting this project with some hardware
     

     
     
     
     
     
     


     

     
     


     
     
    The Specs :
    CPU: Intel 4690k
    M/B: MSI Z97I GAMING ACK
    GPU: MSI Titan Black
    RAM:Yes it will defo have some of that
    PSU: Corsair HX850i 
    SSD: Samsung  840 EVO  250GB
     
    Cooling by EK with all of their latest Blocks fittings rads and the new Vadar fans.
     
     
    That is all for now the case panels have been acid dipped to remove the powder coating  and we be getting  re coated in a grey as to be honest the cost alone of the Paint to match the car was out of the question when I can powder coat it for so much less and will be much more durable for taking to a LAN so the next update will be when the RAD arrives and we can get to the loop this is a very simple and easy project. the case itself has been designed to make the loop easy for the beginner or lots of fun for the more experienced out there and will be as ever done with rigid tube this time its EK's own one rather than my usual E22 but I am told its very nice to work with Ill get to bending some this weekend bye for now
