CANIS MAJORIS (modded Tt Core X9) - Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational S2

[ciobanulx]

I dont even know what to call those reservoirs 

 

 

nice sphere resevoirs

 

 

Well damn, those reservoirs are gorgeous. I really like the frosting on the frame/stand. It makes the spheres pop more.

 

 

Excellent log, those spheres 

 

 

I'm interested in where those reservoirs are going in! The frosting made them 10 times prettier.

 

What are the plans for a paint job, if any?

 

Thanks a lot guys!

 

I will have another update shortly. I just got back from the EB Games Expo in Sydney where the build was on display at the Thermaltake booth!

 

If you follow my Facebook page (Simple Modz) or Thermaltake ANZ you may have caught a quick speak peak of the build! And for all the Aussies in Sydney, you maybe saw it in person if you were at the EB Games Expo!

 

I will need to post a few more work in progress updates that I didn't get a chance to post and once I get the build back there is still some work to be done before it will be fully finished.

 

Also @Rumikarimu, you mean paint job on the case? It's been powder coated in a raw steel/gun metal colour. The rest is black gloss acrylic

 

Stay tuned!

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

I guess that answers my question. Sweet!

Looking forward to the next update.

Hey guys,

 

Here are some pics of tubing up the bottom section with the rads and reservoirs mounted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the bad lighting in some of those shots

 

Here is the side panel, one full clear piece of acrylic to cover the entire case!

 

 

And some work on the front panel windows or a stealth window as I like to call it.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for checking it out!

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

Are those reservoirs place-holders? 

[ciobanulx]

Are those reservoirs place-holders? 

 

Those are going under the motherboard tray. I need something on top of the pumps to feed them properly when filling the system

[ciobanulx]

 

Testing out the bottom fans before building on top of them and I can't access the cables!

 

 

Custom reservoirs are in and I started taking off the protective backing on the acrylic sheets. The nice reflections are just what I was hoping for!

 

 

 

Also hardware update!

 

Thanks a lot to RamCity.com.au for sending out these two Crucial MX200 500GB SSDs and also an awesome 512GB Samsung SM951 M.2 PCI-E SSD!

 

 

The two Crucial SSDs are in!

 

 

Just having a laugh as I can't believe how many Strix 970s I have acquired! Two are going in the Parvum build I've been working on for a mate for ages now, some of you may have seen it! And the other either 2 or 3 are going in this build!

 

 

Time to install the MB, CPU, GPUs, RAM and all the awesome Tt water blocks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for checking it out!

 

Cheers,

Those waterblocks look amazing. 

[Tearass]

The mountain of 970s..

 

I like how the motherboard thermal armour matches the thermaltake waterblocks.

[AshleyAndrews]

Your build has me hooked... Well done sir!!!!

[nmil]

BurnerMC you were thinking exactly what I was thinking.

So does anyone get a 970?

[theninja35]

We should have a rock paper scissors tournament. Whoever wins gets it.

Or the person with the closest number 1-100.

[ciobanulx]

can i have one of the 970s?

Hahaha guys only 3 of the 970 are actually mine which are going in this build. The other two are for a mates build which is the Parvum build some of you may have seen. I need to get back to that one and finish it soon

[Snooli]

Is this a case mod or scratch build? Seems so be becoming more of a scratch build.

Yeah, yeah, we know.

 

The reservoirs look pretty interesting, the sphere ones. I've never seen the design like that before. The blocks really match the motherboard very well, too.

So you have 5 , 2 for your mate's build, 2 for your own and 1 not used. Where will that one go?

[b00st3d]

impressive build!

[ciobanulx]

If it's becoming more of a scratch build, is that a bad thing It's still a case mod though. Will still look in general like a Core X9, just on an angle and with a pedestal

 

Yeah, yeah, we know.

Thanks a lot and yea I believe I have been the first one to come up with these reservoirs

3 should be going in this build

 

I'm guessing that you are making a thread for your mates build?

 

Yea, I already started it months ago but it's been on hold for a while now. Check Parvum Formula in my sig

 

impressive build!

 

Thanks a lot mate

[Exotath]

Those reservoirs though.......................................

 

WANT.

[nmil]

3 should be going in this build

Oh... I see, but why do you only have 2 with water blocks? I'm guessing another block is on its way. Keep up the good work though.

Yea for the EB Games expo I only had two cards in

[ciobanulx]

 

A quick look before tubing up! Most of the part were in at this point!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for checking it out!

Back with another update!

 

Playing around with ideas in the other case

 

And making progress on the main case

 

 

I had an idea with the original mesh but probably not gonna keep it

 

 

That's about it! I need to secure the rad mounts on the side and mount some rads in to test fitment.

 

Stay tuned for more!

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

 

 

I'm not a good modder so bare with me.How did you mod the case to tilt.

EDIT:I"m a noob

It's all good mate. I had to pretty much redesign the entire frame. I used alu corners at the back and also the entire bottom and everything was cut on a 70 degree angle and mounted that way. The front panel is the original panel just cut on an angle. I also had to design my own brackets and some rods for support. Hope this helps understand it. It took a lot of work no doubt
