I like the inside of your case. you have a ton of room. could almost swing a cat in there.
I was noticing the diference from my case to yours even they are the same model number. I have 3x 5 1/4 bays 1x hole in the middle for cable (wish I had 3 cuz there are 2 power supplies on the bottom. and I also have a fan on the other side. and you have a true cooler and mine came packed with a Boreas chiller, a power hungry monster

I remember thinking when the guy at coolit sait it was custom done for coolit.. I thought yeah... added a bracket.. here is mine. I also included what I upgraded from. I liked the old one but no where to mount the chiller

FYI That is a Noctua cooler, not a TRUE.
Yours is definitely modded. I like the idea of cutting the bottom drive bays completely out. There is really no reason for that many bays, since the HDDs go below anyway. I also have pass-throughs for wires behing the bottom drive bays, which I was not expecting

As far as the room inside, it is ridiculous. The comparison pic I posted shows the difference between the KL02B and the TJ07.

Mine is as stock as stock gets. I just got my 2 Kama Bays installed, and I have to say, they are pretty darn ugly. maybe some paint to color match them to the case would help

I have time with this case, so I will not rush anything. My main objective right now is replacing the 120mm fans. I really need some higher CFM fans to get the air moving. Temps are fine, but could be much better.

As for room in the case, once the RMA'd 4870x2 gets back this case will be packed.
as you can see the lil' ol skeleton case just was not big enough to hold every thing. I had to hand 2 drives off the side and I had the freeze zone elite hanging off the back of the power supply and no room for anything. and the higher heatsinks like the Noctua cooler and the true would not fit under the top fan. I am happy I spent the cash to get this case and chiller, Should be with me for a very long time. when the savings account gets refilled I will look at a 2k watt or higher power supply so i can power down the cables inside the case or even change the 700 out for a 900 modular PSU. With the cables from the second PSU I can't keep one of the drive bays in and had to velcro down my 4th drive to cork feet at the bottom.

Dude, I just took a closer look at the pics and your system specs. Your rig is frakkin' ridiculous (in a very good way). That Boreas Chiller is intense!
2000 watts!? Do you really need that much? If you do, I highly suggest the Silverstone modular PSUs. I particularly like the single rail Decathlon series. Really solid performers.
Also, about the holes in the divider tray, I have the large, 2 small, and also 2 slits that you can't see in the pics that are right behind the bottom drive bays. It sounds like you received a case with that divider replaced with a more suitable piece than the original.
I just broke down and got 4 Scythe S-Flex fans for the front intake and top exhaust. Even with those I am still paying less for this TJ07 than most are

Russtynailz · 03-23-09

Still paying less?? with the Chiller I am into the case for $899.00USD
but really worth it.
I had the CPU at 4.8ghz the about a week ago. But I only took a screen shot and didnt do the CPUz validation so I cant enter the OCN overclock comp.
I will do more benching in the garage this week as I am getting my second 4870x2, it should arrive today or tomorrow. I had the CPU hovering around 3*c idle and didnt break 30 under load. I should have some nice low outside temps on wed or thursday as we are expecting 4-5 inches of snow then.

I will post some sceen shots for you guys

Heres my contribution. Just finished it.

Silverstone.......... Quality.

Russtynailz · 03-23-09

DUDE!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I am really glad you didn't go horizontal with the windows. LOOKS HOT!

+rep for being a master craftsman

Kiomsabi, that looks great. I actually caught this in your worklog. Those windows look fantastic! Did you change the mesh on the top and side panels, or is it just me?

Thank you. Yes I changed the mesh. I wanted a bit more rugged look to it.
