New Chassis
So, it is not often I that I post here. Today I took delivery of a chassis that some of you may like. I got it for a build I plan to complete in the coming months.
Here is the box:
Behold, the mighty beautiful TJ07...
The infamous mobo tray, with the gaping hole. That has to go... most of TJ07 mods I have seen on the net have a custom tray. I might cannibalize my PC65 for it...
This is how it compares with the PC A77 in dimensions:
Next to my ol' faithful PC65:
The pictures don't do it much justice. It is a truly great looking case. The dimensions are just perfect. I will start a project log soon.

Lee Mercer (Angel): This is getting ridiculous. The first assassin kills the second assassin sent to kill the first assassin, who didnt assassinate anyone until we hired the second assassin to assassinate her.

Seriously, I love that case. I see you have some variation of the A77 as well. Pretty nice case that too.

Re: New Chassis
Who cares, you have a TJ07
EDIT: You're right about that motherboard tray. Man, that thing is terrible. At least making a new one is a piece of cake, and you can make the new one perfect for your machine

Yeah man, motherboard trays are fairly simple objects. It's a sheet of aluminium with some bends and some holes in itDemoraliser wrote:Piece of cake huh? Well, i will send you dimensions then, you make it!

Re: New Chassis
Depends on the finish and the thickness. 1.2/1.6mm Aluminium would be pretty good for a motherboard tray, and a piece that size would be fairly cheap too. Probably about 40 bucks.-Prometheus- wrote:Making stuff is easy. It's sourcing materials that's a schlep.
Btw how much do you pay for aluminum?

I was pleasantly surprised at the prices too, there are a couple of places here in CT that do Alu sheets...DAE_JA_VOO wrote:

Re: New Chassis
Yeah. Usually, if you buy off-cuts, it's significantly cheaper too. I got a piece about 3 times the size of your average motherboard tray for something like R70. These pieces are usually a little more scratched, but you're going to be sanding scratches away in the end anyway, so that's no problem.

Re: New Chassis
The HDD cages are on the bottom [behind the two fans]. But that is all going to make room for a triple rad and D5 pump. I will have custom mounts in the 5.25 Bays.
