Tower 900 - ThermalTake Showcase
The Tower 900 - Thermaltake Dual Loop Build
I met Thermaltake at the insomnia gaming festival and they took a liking to the builds we had done in their View27 cases. This lead to talks of exhibiting together at the Resonate show in Scotland. We drew up a list of parts and thermaltake provided all of the items for the case and cooling for us to build this
The parts didn't arrive until 2 days before the show which led to some time constraints as I wanted to do as many natural bends as possible, avoiding the excessive use of fittings. This case is HUGE and the space made for the perfect opportunity to experiment. We spoke of spiral tubes and loops but in the end felt it took away from the overall boxy aesthetic of the case. We used black and orange coolant as they were the company branding colours but if given the opportunity to do this again I think a clear liquid blend with some of the mayhem "Silver" pearl like additive would have made a better addition to the RGB lighting and flow metres I used. Maybe making the horizontal flow metres chrome or mirrored to bounce the lighting around the interior of the case a little more. The opaque fluid really took away from the fact that they were there. I removed the traditional 3.5inch HDD bays and rigged a Thermaltake Riiing RGB fan in the bay and applied a vinyl sticker of the company logo to a piece of acrylic and sprayed it black. After removing the sticker it gave the logo a back-lit effect as a centrepiece for the build. The termaltake logo would have been simple to remove by way of plastic clips but we didn't want to take away any of their branding after they had supplied the parts.
Time really limited the creativity of this build, there were so many ideas floating around including etching the tempered glass or turning them into mirrored panels on the left and right side creating an infinity mirror effect.
