That's a TJ-07 case, modded specifically for water cooling =\. Looks freakin' sweet though. If I go watercooled, I'll have to make mine look like that. Rip out the hdd bays and replace them with the radiator, flip the mobo around, and so on ^^. I like the idea of that temperature monitor imbedded into the case frame. I wish mine was painted black on the inside too =(.

Probably the nicest layout\enclosure I've ever come across.

Yea, I just ordered a sleeving kit and a molex/PCI-E/24-pin ATX remover kit so I may have to use that idea for my toaster build.

Wait a second... once you get down to each individual wire, hoe do you know which one goes back where? There are like 10 blacks ones... maybe I won't be doing that to my PSU...

My favorite detail is the optical drive button. It's integrated into top portion of the laser-cut front panel design. He made a post on xtreme systems, that's where I found it. Tons of little details that only us geeks would notice, gotta love it. To whoever says that a PC can't be art, we now have our case-in-point (no pun intended.)

looks like you've been "casing" the joint

No surprise it's in a TJ-07! Beautiful...I love black cases with red coolant.

I was going to just take one pin out at a time and sleeve/heatshrink them, then reinstall it in the connector and move on to the next...

Elysium · December 24th, 2007

Maybe if you sleeved each wire one at a time. Like take one wire out of the connector, sleeve it, put it back in the connector, and then to the next one. Tedious work.

EDIT: Read my mind, garetjax.

the Elbow and T fittings have no clamp, are those prone to leakage???

I think it may be 7/16in. tubing in 1/2in. fittings so it's less likely to leak. Looks better without clamps too.
