The full build log will be posted on here and on my website - however it may get fractured into multiple posts here, so if you want an easy read go to it's home on my blog, you can also subscribe to my youtube channel if you so wish.
The project name is not finalized so suggestions are welcome - I thought of thief because it dual wields and it steals all my money!
I am working on a huge monster build that will showcase CaseLabs newest case - the monster TX10. This monster case can fit two SR-2 (HPTX) systems with full water cooling. As shown it could fit multiple Mo-Ra 140x9 raditors, or 6 140.4 radiators. It can even fit front mounted 140.5 radiators.
The main feature will be two giant custom waterfall reservoirs that will occupy the front bays. These will be made by FTWPC, however they have design input from cyberdruid who was famous for his waterfall reservoirs (you can find some videos on youtube). Here's a rough sketch of the build:
Here is the current hardware that I have to go in, as well as the minimum upgrades that I wish to put in:
Unboxing Videos and Pics
I picked up the case directly from Jim - so the packing was reduced in order to fit in my car. If you buy one of these it will come in two boxes as it's packed a lot more securely.
Lots of Parts
Building the case
As Jim knew the case was going to be powder coated by FTWPC he saved FTW the hassle of sandblasting it by skipping the CaseLabs normal black/white powder coat. Because of this the case is not only in it's raw bare aluminum state, but it also is less assembled than normal in order to save on time taking everything apart.
The Pedestal frame consist of top, bottom, front and back that are screwed together with countersunk screws
Screwing the casters in
These are the spring clips that hold the panels on - they hold the panels tight, while still be pretty easy to remove for changing your loop up
Pedestal frame with one of the clipped side panel and the back plate screwed on
Pedestal with all panels attached except the top/bottom cover
Main case frame coming together, this is the view from the back showing the holes for the dual vertical motherboard trays
Case + Pedestal with XXL window fitted on one side
Here's a quick video of the partially assembled caseChoosing colors for the powder coat
To make sure I was making the right choice on the color I decided to get some card and tape it to the frame. I removed the acrylic window and used a grey piece of card to model the motherboard:
Metallic Charcoal Grey and Metallic Crimson Red
Metallic Charcoal Grey, Pearl White and Crimson Red
Metallic Charcoal Grey with Metallic Pearl White
These are the colors I think I've decided on:
Outside:
Inside:
That's it for now!
