So ive had my Silverstone Tj07 case for a few years and have never really got round to doing anything cosmetic to it.
The hardware inside has been over-volted and over-clocked since it was built with both the graphics card and processor being watercooled.
Although already outrageously fast running at 5ghz with 16Gb of 2133mhz RAM on a Samsung 512gb SSD and bios hacked 780gtx boosting to 1300mhz at 1.3volts, I wanted to get rid of the conventional platter hard drive (used to store downloads, pics, video etc) and the DVD drive. I also wanted to move the reservoir from the front and clean up the interior. I also wanted to clean up the bottom compartment to improve airflow for the radiator.
I fabricated some perspex panels to cover the rear, front and base, I moved the water pump up from the bottom compartment and brought the reservoir inside (changing to a tube res), I also added a 140mm radiator to the front to supplement the 120.4 in the base. I added a second SSD and mounted that along with the primary drive on the back of the motherboard.
The new frontend needed sorting so I fabricated a grill to cover the 140mm fan and some more Perspex to cover the internal from view.
Im pleased with the cleaner looking front
I also added four USB3 ports to the front replacing the USB2 and firewire ports that came on the case originally
Now to give it a test run
