To view this case mod, go here.

Mods:
Cut out top panel and mounted Thermochill PA120.3 Rad. Lasercut radgrill for PA120.3. Powdercoated the case. custom HD rad bracket to fit front dual rad. custom pump bracket. sleeved psu cables. perforated alum on 5.25 drivebay side. lasercut name plate.

My Goal: The goal i was aiming are the words "Simple" and "Elegant"..the lian li pc-a77 itself is a beauty in its own way. modding it heavily may ruin its minimalistic approach and thus for me is a beauty wasted. thus the theme for my rig, "Simple yet Elegant".

Where the hell are your cables? Excellent!
 
I've been following your work log, & have to say what a great job you did, the amount of time that you put into the W/M alone. & the placement of the Rad's. Smart, Clean, & really sharp looking Build. this is why I chose to rate your Rig a 10. Some pictures I thought you should have added.

one of the sickest and tightest watercooled case i've seen hands down. the uv blue dye makes it even better :D great job knet :D
 
Good job love it mybe i should paint my OCZ ram cooler looks better black
 
Ah, I've been waiting to get to vote on this beast. I love it and I love your goal of 'simple yet elegant'. Incredible job! It's an 10/10 no-brainer from me.

Perfect cable managment AND modification!! Tasteful and uniformed color scheming. Excellent presentation. About the only thing I could even think about dinging you on is the way the tubes turn into a bit of a knot around the Vid cards, but I know that is a result of you wanting to use large diameter tubing and minimal angled fittings... so it is unavoidable. You did a great job of making the knot as neat as it can be, though.

Great job. This rig deserves to be ranked above mine!

Truly deserves a 10! That looks great dude.
 
the score for this one is a no brainer.. 10/10!

sarap lang dude
 
Very beautiful, clean and sleek. 10/10 for sure! Good job!
 
Disgustingly clean, yet sleek and sexy.

10 for sure.
 
10/10, beautifully done. Not so much color like the usual watercooled system. Great choice of case too! Gotta love Lian Li.
 
The Sh*t

I Followed your work log myself. And I must say that the time/money you spent on this mod really pays off. Not only is this a FANTASTIC job.. but very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Your loops are perfect in every way. This LCS is one of the best ive seen in a long time. And the wire sleeving is outstanding and the and your wire management is top notch! I rate 10/10 CHEERS BRO! Great job =]

One thing... is there any way we could get you to post your temps/volts/and clock speed info?
