TJ07 'Reaper'

[Montymole]

 

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 this project has been kindly sponsored by

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 ...

 

 

 

 

The rear panel was a Pulse modding one the threads on the PCI brackets were shot and I had no option but to drill them out and use a nut and bolt ...

 

 

 

Some Hardware shots next ....

So in other words, it gets treated well, but rarely used unless the weather gods align?  lol, j/k

Looks great!

[Montymole]

and we do not have much good weather here in UK not for more than 2 days at a time

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
