I'll kick things off first with a link to my unfinished build log.

You should post up your rig first! EDIT: Ninja'd.

I'll take a shot of the exterior tomorrow, but for now here's the interior.

No real mods done other than paint and cable management. I wanted to make a false floor to cover up the bottom and another piece to cover the back of the disc drive area but I got lazy.

I thought there was one of these threads already.. but put me down.

MurderMod TJ07

Just a quick pic... Case is being sold though, dont work I have two other TJ07's as backups....

 

[shawnoen]

Where are you selling the Murdermod case?

 

[trippinonprozac]

count me in.

although mine is still in the process of being built..

 

[DerComissar]

Glad that you started this thread.
It does help to distinguish the TJ07, which in my opinion, is the finest of the Temjin series, from the later Silverstone cases.
No, I don't have a TJ07 (yet) but it's been on my wish list since it came out, a long time ago.
Then, after I first saw this TJ07 build:
http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/systems-2009/murderbox/008/murderbox.htm
I was determined to buy one, one day, and do my own custom build.
But, when you can find a TJ07, they still are very expensive.
As an example, in my area, they are still over $350
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=20019&vpn=TJ07B-W&manufacture=Silverstone Technology
So, I wait, until the opportunity strikes.
Looking forward to seeing some good builds here.

Man, your gonna love it when you finally make the swap. I went from a heavily modded HAF 932 to the TJ07 (when I found one on sale) and I've never looked back!

Heh!
So you can relate, then
I agree, there's just no comparison.
I've had my fair share of cases over the years, including a couple of Lian-Li's, but none of them have come close to the TJ07.

I've seen the occasional used TJ07 for sale on some forums, I recently saw one that had some cable-management holes cut, and the interior was powder-coated black. Should have jumped on that one. Ah well, I will just have to keep looking

 

[DerComissar]

Hey, where's all the TJ07 love in this thread?
I'd sure like to see some more TJ07 builds to drool over.
I know, I should just buy one myself and show it, but not for the over $400 price with tax and shipping I still have to pay to get one!

I was wondering if Silverstone is still manufacturing this case. They have all the versions of the Temjin series listed, of course the latest versions as well. When did the TJ07 come out? I think it was in 2006?

Looking at the Silverstone site, they still list the TJ07 with all of their other cases:
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=92&area=en
Which makes me more curious as to whether they are still making it, is there a fairly big stock in Silverstone's distribution warehouse?

The dealers that I've seen that still sell the TJ07 seem to give you the impression that they only have x number of these cases in stock and that's it, correct me if I'm wrong. That could be because it isn't a high-volume seller, due to it's rather high price. Yes, I do think it's worth a good price because it isn't cheap to make a case of such high quality, but should it really still be selling for around $350+ at the dealers in North America that I've seen it listed?

Just ordered some parts from Chilled PC in the UK. Planning to invert my mobo but does anyone know which rivets I need to purchase?

Current look.

You'll need 4 dome head rivets. All you'll need to do is drill out the rivets on the bottom removable motherboard bracket and then rivet it onto the other side. There should already be all the nessesery mounting holes. The top bracket is held on with screws so moving it will be easy. Then just flip the removable tray and you're done.

Thanks. Hopefully I will have time to get my case setup this weekend. Now I have to think if I want to get the rest of my parts painted/powdercoated.

Btw, Fallout, you should throw some pictures of your case here. It's by far one of my favorites

Here's a few more pictures of mine throughout my 1 year of owning it.

That mid plate cover makes it look much better! Do you plan on starting a build log?

I'd love to throw up some pics of my build but its in peices at the moment. I'll be working on it again soon.

Thanks, I haven't really thought of a build log. Maybe I should just start one since I have been occasionally upgrading my case. I actually got a new midplate from Chilled PC and hopefully it's in soon

 

[meshal300]

[Hukkel]

Wow. I thought the TJ07 club would be enormous. This is kinda ... small :/

I wanted some advice.

I am in the proces of buying a used black TJ07. But the previous owner violated it by putting stickers on it and he lost a few front 5,25 inch panels to cover it.

Is there any place I can buy new from 5,25 covers / panels?

 

[kaseyfleming]

I think frozencpu has some also check out the sweet aftermarket tj07 parts here
