If you've seen what I have built and use at the moment you'd know anything is possible if you use your mind and tools to make things fit neatly and still look good.

There are a couple of builds on here with this case. It is a versatile beast.

I am looking at my 12 month old tj-07 with a sad face, If it didn't cost me so much $$ and time, I'd let it go and grab one of these.

Finally got around to cable management.. you guys didn't see the other side of the case but it needed attention badly.

The only things left to do are:
- Make PSU shroud from aluminium - I have the measurements now
- Sleeve 200mm fan cable
- take outside pics because that's what everyone does 0.o

I would also like to announce that I am the third AU/NZ player to get the 5 star gold Jet service star as of yesterday! - BATTLEFIELD 3

And now for more rig shots:

That's my next project..!

looks good mate, well done. gotta be happy with the end product for sure.

Thought I may as well update this to show you whats happening.

I think I will let the picture say the rest, But the loop has infested itself from the plasticizing crap from the tubing.

I am doing a full rebuild to clear as much as I can and replacing the tubing with the Advanced primoflex tubing instead of the predecessor PRO tubing.

Unless anyone has a better suggestion on the tubing(needs to be white).

Ps this is nasty shit.

New tubing ordered.

I don't even:

Jakusonfire · 12th April 2013, 3:12 PM

Wow! That is the worst i have ever seen it. How long did it take to get that bad?

I have been using the black version of the same tubing and when I have broken my loop down I always have small amounts of the same substance in the micro channels of my CPU block. I'll change to the new stuff soon I think.

Edit: If ever there was a case that deserved to be given the new version of the tubing for free, this is it.

Illisis · 13th April 2013, 4:24 PM

Sounds like I have made the ocau record for the grossest loop ever.

I sent I support ticket to primochill just to see what they have to say about these pics

I ripped apart the cpu block:

WOW. I'd be DEMANDING new tubing. That's all I have to say.

Illisis · 17th April 2013, 8:24 PM

Updated primochill case.

Finished retubing with ADVANCED.
It is not as flexible but nothing hot water cant fix.

Leak testing..

p.s my fingers are on fire.

Illisis · 19th April 2013, 9:23 PM

PCCG & Primochill have agreed to replace my tube.

My processor is running much cooler after I some how overlooked the IN Port and had them switched all this time /derp

Remarks on this rebuild:
loop is performing well again
cards idle at 33 degrees
minimal white shit still floats around but you cant do much about it
I used exactly 2L of demin

I also found that if you set the powertune feature in AMD CCC at +20% I gained about 20FPS more in furmark.
