Hello, AXE RS community
Here I will post my project for the
Tt CaseMOD Invitational Balkan 2025

Оnce I learned that the base case would be the Tower 600, was to create something truly special. Its sharp, angled shapes and the ability to stand upright make it very different – and open the door for a bold and radical design approach.
What immediately struck me was how much the Tower 600 resembles the cockpit of a old racing formula. Since racing cars have been a defining part of my life for many years, it was only natural for me to envision the Tower 600 in the form of a race car. I quickly sketched out a concept and began exploring the best possible design approach to integrate the volume of this chassis into the core of such a vehicle.
From the very beginning, I decided that I wanted to work with real materials. Instead of artificial carbon fiber, certain elements – such as spoilers and panels – had to be made from genuine carbon fiber.
Since the design was inspired by Formula racing cars, I took into account a key characteristic: their radiators are positioned on the sides, behind the front wheels. I translated this idea into structural elements that would integrate the Thermaltake water cooling system. The goal was twofold – to build a fully functional cooling solution for the PC inside of the project, and at the same time to literally recreate the cooling system of a Formula-style race car

Thanks to Thermaltake, ASUS, Samsung, and AMD, I had all the essential components at my disposal – the motherboard, processor, memory, SSD, and most importantly, a wide range of Thermaltake elements for the custom water cooling system. These included additional radiators, numerous fittings, and two pumps, which I planned to integrate as the “engine” of this futuristic Formula-inspired build.

I couldn’t wait to begin, so I immediately started by disassembling the non-essential parts that weren’t needed like a racing car ;-), lightening the Tower 600 in the process. This allowed me to carefully examine every detail – what should be removed, what could be modified – while still preserving the most valuable aspect of the chassis: its radical design. I want to use this desing this shape in the MOD
At the same time, using the boxes with all the components, I started building the project TT Formula at full scale. This helped me move beyond sketches and concepts and actually visualize the design in real size. By doing so, I could determine what additional materials I would need – the right type of tires (after considering several options) – and most importantly, I was able to refine the proportions of the elements and the build itself as the centerpiece of this futuristic Thermaltake Formula-inspired project.

The rims and the the tires are looking funny but at this time I found only these from 1/5 RC car. Any way this gave me a scale for the proportions and started to search for the corect size of the rims and tires

 

[AlexMa3x]

I bought real racing cart tires and repainted the aluminium wheels in diamond swartz black. Moved the projet to new location because of the metal works, cutting wellding and I needed more space

I also found new friend - she will help a lot ;-)

Next thing is creating the needed frame
First in CAD to check the dimentions - important step I want to use real carbon fiber and I need real dimentions for waterjet cutting of the carbon fiber

Wings, front are made from carbon

 

[AlexMa3x]

I stared to position the TT custom water cooling parts. I want to be funtional also to mimic the real cooling of Formula car

 

[AlexMa3x]

I created new metal frame to hold all in place. Some parts are made to be removable for easy transport of the TT CaseMOD

 

[AlexMa3x]

I want to use the shape of Tower 600 so I implemented the shape in everything possible
Made few revisions of the front nose - one of the most inportant parts of the TT Formula

 

[AlexMa3x]

Created with 3D printings some very cool intakes for the water cooling system
Also made components to hold the water pumps in V shape - I love v8 engines ;-) I use such one in my racing car

 

[AlexMa3x]

Real carbon fiber was made and waterjet cutted for the wings
Also made a jet engine using 140mm Thermaltake Swafan - I had so many choices but in the end chose which one ;-) was best for my project car and modified it additionaly
