I made the same mistake. I have a tj07 but it's not the same. I wanted to buy one a few years ago directly from XFORMA, then some time passed, I have covid, and here I am dreaming of having one. I think it's the most refined case ever. I've never seen anything like it online. Attention to detail, design and concept.

Silverstone is relaunching the TJ07, which this case is clearly based on, as the Alta T1. It is not on the market yet. I made a thread about it. Original poster has excellent taste!
Hi Blackstone, I'm very happy to know that other users on the net have admired "MURDERMOD" since the beginning, the work that CHARLES HARWOOD developed for his projects. I loved the TJ07 since the beginning but Charles has given a twist to the concept of the case. ALTA T1 I have seen various photos online, but, a leading company like SILVERSTONE will never be able to make something that looks like MBX MKII. It would certainly take someone who does the same work he did on the TJ07. Let's hope, maybe he's already thinking about it. The site seems XFORMA is always online. P.S. Where can I find your thread???

I looked carefully at Alta T1, it seems to be an updated version. Aesthetically it also recalls Brodholm's project

You have three of these cases with add ons and you have all three for yourself? I think Charles has built a really amazing project. I on the other hand, having a tj07, I bought some accessories that fit well on the tj07. But a tj07 is never an MBX MKII. The really weird thing is the XFORMA website online, but they never respond anymore
For crossflow fans I always thought it was this https://mitxpc.com/products/cf003
i love this case. Can you send me a photo of your project? For dual top fans in a forum i read that these are. https://www.blacknoise.com/de/nb-multiframe/nb-multiframe-120mm You could always replace them once they break.2x cases with all the "good" add ons and a few spare ek plexi tubes because they stain and degrade over time, consumables basically. 1x case for spare parts.
The custom made consumables with no replacements is the downsides to this case unfortunately. These parts will all fail:
I've taken the crossflow fan apart and it's definitely a Silverstone fan. Perhaps that's the oem where Silverstone sourced it from. The Silverstone has a molded aluminum housing unlike the one in the link.

Sì, la mia build è in corso...dal 2018. La vita mi ha preso e non ho mai avuto la possibilità di completarla. Sono passato dal giocare ai videogiochi in un giorno al diventare il capofamiglia in meno di 24 ore haha. Alcune delle parti che ho acquistato sono ormai obsolete, ma sto ancora cercando di completarla presto, ecco perché ogni tanto cerco ispirazione nel case. Forse l'anno prossimo, perché ho disperatamente bisogno di un aggiornamento. L'ultima cosa che ho fatto è stata provare ad aggiornare il pannello Luminus per supportare RGB e correggere la distribuzione della luce, il pannello è un Lumisheet: https://www.evo-lite.com/product-line/lumisheet

Per i fan mi è stato detto che è un ventilatore Xigmatic. Ne ho ordinati un po' qualche anno fa come riserva, ma sembra che le pale non siano staccabili, a differenza di quelle fornite con l'add-on. Sembrano identici al 100%, uno accanto all'altro.
Per il tubo EK ne ho ordinato uno anche qualche anno fa per vedere se andava bene, ma non ci stava. Penso che il tubo sia un pezzo personalizzato.
For the fans I also initially thought they were the Xigmatic and having already 4 of which 2 mounted on an old heatsink, I immediately thought they were these. The color is slightly different and so, the blacknoise, seem to be the closest even in the color slightly colder than the blacknoise.Yeah my build has been in progress...since 2018. Life got to me and I never had the chance complete it. Went from playing video games one day to becoming the breadwinner of a family in less than 24 hours haha. Some of the parts I bought are now outdated but I'm still looking to complete it soon, hence why I occasionally search the case for inspiration. Maybe by sometime next year as I desperately need an upgrade. Last thing I did was try to update the Luminus panel to support RGB and fix the light distribution, the panel is a Lumisheet: https://www.evo-lite.com/product-line/lumisheet

For the fans I was told that it's a Xigmatic fan. I ordered a bunch of a few years ago as backup but it seems like the blades aren't detachable unlike the ones that came with the add on. Look 100% identical next to each other though.
For the EK tube I also ordered one a few years ago to see if it would fit but it wouldn't. I think the tube is a custom part.
I did not understand how you want to update your light panel. Surely, you will want RGB colors as well as white. Surely an LGP panel like the one of MBX MKII. Then, what does the photo refer to? Haven't you thought of modifying only the LED strip with a WRGB strip of the COB type with a CRI>90? It could be a valid solution. Furthermore, I also imagined an MBX MKII with a vertically mounted card
Can I contact you in PVT? I contacted the company that makes the light panel you mentioned. I would like more information, technical sheet and other indications. They are waiting for my information. I would also like to make an RGB light panel for the case. Maybe I found an MBX MKII

i didnt mention any company and i dont do rgb.
I had already seen this company that produces the central distribution plate, but I would prefer to have it in line with the original only with the color change.
contacted Evo light for an RGB panel. They need the measurements and then they do not provide the external frame.
These are jobs that they do not do in my country, I will have to contact a production company specialized in these types of jobs. I am trying to have a light panel. An original XFORMA is impossible to find
I watched that listing for a bit and pulled the trigger today. Now I’ll have two BNIB and a bunch of extra accessories I guess.
Have you seen any pictures of that Singularity plate installed?

I'm happy for you. You couldn't have chosen a better project. I often looked at this one for sale, but the seller didn't ship to Italy. Now I'm lucky because I have one too. I had to make the dual support radiator with the help of an engineer. I'm having trouble getting the only plastic spacer supports, the ones that slide along the track. I'm looking online but I can't find them. Unfortunately, the luminous panel arrived broken in shipping. Now I'm trying to make one but it won't be easy. The heart of the luminous panel is a lumisheet but they asked me absurd costs just for that. Almost as much as an MBX MKII. That's why I was oriented towards the Singularity one. It would be nice to see one mounted.
Excellent! I am happy that you found one! Sorry to hear about your luminous panel. Have you reached out to Singularity to see if they have any pictures of one of theirs installed? Can you post a picture of the spacers you are having trouble finding?
it won't be easy to make a new light panel, especially if the central core is a lumisheet. It would be nice to be able to contact the company that supplied the same central plate. It should be an LGP panel but not all are the same. for the spacer support it is the one in the photo. You know what I'm talking about if you also have the same one.

Looking at what they have opened on camera, it doesn't look like they have many of the cool accessories.
Those accessories are what makes this case really outstanding, especially the lightbox, top fans and vista windows.

Hello all,
i have an XFORMA MBX MK II for sale. Is the Number 55.
Of course, it comes with all the accessories I ordered back then.
The case has only been installed with hardware once and has been running flawlessly ever since.
The case and all parts are in immaculate condition.
For more information, feel free to ask here or send me a PM.
The case is located in Germany, but could probably be shipped in the original box. UPS will do that, right?

Thank you for the tip, and sorry for my mistake.
But what can I do now? I can't post anything in the FST forum until I've made at least 100 posts.
That would take a long time. But the sale should be as soon as possible.
In that case, would "only" the eBay section remain?
