Glad I could help. Hank Baron was the boss over there the last I knew. Nice guy, too.

I received a mail from Performance-PCs.com, they need a Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, or AutoCAD file format what part needs to be cut / size .... sounds really good ! case is on da way and i´ll have to do some measuring and metric to inch calc .... hehe

thx m8

Some updates for Today,

The Lian Li V2120X arrived..... all i can say by now is "that a damn huge case"

Cons:

upper fan mounting holes has no mesh/filter included

here are some closeups....

more to come.....

 

[n0tiert]

Running into Problems....

I cannot understand why they calc the space for the upper fans/rads so small for this "huge" case....
now i need to get this and mount it on top for adding the upper fans

since it will clash with the fittings of
the PWM / NB WB

I think i found the right setup for thge rads now....
done some tubing tests, thats it for tonight.

 

[cupang]

my dream case. it looks your motherboard dwarfed by the case hugeness. hahahhaha..

even using a E-ATX that case still look spacy IMHO..

GOOD RIG bro..

Hi m8´s

got a question on the fittings, since all wb are nickel plated
i´m asking what style of fitting to use:

A: (Shiny Black) *

B: (Matt Black)

C: (Shiny Silver)

* i´preffer that one .....

 

[t_ski]

If the blocks are nickel plated, then the Shining Silver fittings will be the closest match in finish. They're often cheaper as well.

I may also paint my ram heat spreaders red.

it will decrease its performance of dissipating the heat

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

gotta say shinny black nickel.

 

[PopcornMachine]

I like shinny black too.

Just found this project log. Thanks for all the pics.

here some few updates on the case mods
to create the bottom chamber i needed to replace the plate which holds
the mainboard... i bended a 1,5 mm aluminum plate and placed it in,
the black parts will be cut out for the SSD´s and 90° SATA / Power connectors,
also i modded the cpu backplate a bit ... looks more decent now
both parts will be painted black.

Some updates for today......

i´ve start cutting the bottom plate with a coping saw and do the finish with the rasp

also my Anfi-tec crosshair V SB Waterblock came from the nickel plater

looks great

and my DDR 3 memory (BD ready) also arrived today....
too bad the 2133 8GB kit isn´t available... even corsair.com says out of stock
well this kit isn´t that bad.....

more to come.....

waiting for Bulldozer......

btw. if anyone get´s a grip on a "Supreme HF Red Plexi Top" please let me know

and they have none left ......

thx
