Dat TJ07

 

Yus sir.

 

Much dust. Many GPUs. Wow.

 

Black matte tubing mmm

 

The cord coming out on the right is the second PSU power cable

 

How will I choose which display output to use D:

 

PSU 1: Enermax Platimax 600W

 

PSU 2: LEPA 1600W

 

If I could have black brushed aluminum children, I would

 

"If the photo sucks, make it B&W"

 

Mmm side panel off

 

Wattup quad

 

Old school EK, complimented with a crappy photo

 

Yus sir. That's 7 EK Blocks in one "little" case

 

Dem Matrix cards man

 

Favorite block of all time. OF ALL TIME

 

 

MOAR POWA

 

Hard to get a photo of, but the Platimax is visible from the main chamber 

 

Yummy

 

Also not a great photo but shows what I have going on in the 5.25" bay area

 

SSD mounted on the back, also brushed aluminum

 

Another shot of the Platimax sticking out, this time from the back

 

Enjoy

I demand benchies!

[Nineshadow]

Damn I need a fucking DSLR.

 

On topic : Very good job.

[AndyCapets]

Oh god I'm not the only person in this world that has a Lepa PSU anymore.

Very nice build BTW, everything in black makes it very unique.

[Karumu]

why do you only have 2 cards connected with a CF bridge?

[I_Got_Lost]

Great build!

 

what camera?

[turtlesocks]

At the time of the photos it was simply for mining, so CF bridges didn't matter much. I need more black ROG ones though. The shiny orange ones are quite awful.

 

Nikon D7000. I think I used the basic 35mm F1.8 for all these. 

 

Thanks for the nice comments guys still have a little more work to do on it.

[Quantum]

That is one clean build   

Welcome to the forum too!

[Bagmup]

Make sure you sleeve that rear fan cable

[Kiukaz]

wow that is one sexy beast, one question,  what tubing is that ? it looks awesome.

[ShadowCaptain]

Very beautiful, i really love it

[turtlesocks]

It's EK-ZMT.

[VSG]

I demand some classical music for this build log:

[turtlesocks]

Such classy music.

[FloRolf]

Only 1x 480 rad? What are them temps? Also, why 280x and not 290x/780ti?

(And that old ass xeon? ^^)

But i have to say: This is one MOTHERFUCKING SEXY BEAST! *-*

[gylmir]

very nice build great tubing and that all black is beautiful i love the sort of tubes you use

 

i noticed 1 thing but am not sure you probably go for quad cfx but i see only 1 bridge on the 2nd and 3th gpu did you forget this or put it on later ?

[turtlesocks]

More rads are coming... once I get back.

 

7970/280X for life man. It was built during the mining craze when 290(x) were nearly impossible to find. With X58 4x 290(x) would probably have a little bit of bottlenecking anyway.

 

It was built for mining so CF bridges weren't really a concern. I need more black ROG ones anyway.

[dragoon20005]

any chance this rig might be torn apart to make way for a X79 board?

 

will be nice to see a Rampage 4 Extreme or Black to match your water cooling parts

 

with the X79 you can game with 4 way CF

[turtlesocks]

Nah I actually sold my R4BE in May. Wasn't too impressed and it doesn't have the same "special" feel as the R3BE. Despite that sexy mono block we made for it. I haven't quite decided if I'm going to keep my SR-2 rig or not, if I don't I'll probably eventually move this one into my STH10 for the extra cooling, since I'm definitely not selling that. Got to pick up an X99 setup sometime in the future for test bench setup though.

 

I really don't game too often. Busy year coming up probably won't be able to take full advantage of this setup very often sadly.

X99 sure looks promising, i will be waiting how the X99 blocks will look like

 

keep this casing 

 

900D is really overused IMO

 

dual GPU rigs will look classy over 4 GPUs IMO 

[JoshM]

I have never been a fan of the Silverstone TJ07 for some reason but holly crap, that looks so god damn amazing, I genuinely love it and that has converted me too on the case haha. 

Great work!

Oh definitely agree on the 900D. I had an 800D back in the day but wasn't a huge fan of it. Lots of 900D builds these days. I love my STH10, and I'm a fan of the TJ07 but it's a little limiting. Kind of tempted by the NZXT H440 next.

yea many build with that casing too

 

It a nice case but also too many builds based on that casing

 

CoolerMaster was one of the casing many have overlooked 

 

many will disagree with me but I kinda like the Stacker 935

 

if you get another Stacker 915F

 

you pretty much have a 900D but with a rugged look
