    It's starting to all come together nicely.

    It looks like your not a bit fan of noise considering all the soundproofing you've installed, have you thought about replacing those corsair dominator fans? I've that fan cooler and I find it quite loud. Just a though anyway ;)

    This is where it will go. Just got to work out how to hold it to the back of case but have it that i can remove it when i want to install cards into the mobo.

    [​IMG]

    Have got 2 ideas on how to do it but ideas are welcome.

    Bracket looks great. As for your mounting problem...hinges? It could either swing out of the case or drop down towards the floor of the case. You could just use a thumb screw to keep it in place.

    Hinges could work, but I guess the hoses would still be in the way when installing cards.
    I think fastening it with fingerscrews is the way to go - easy to remove it fast and re-install it once you have finished messing with the cards.

    Yeh thanks. Think sum bolting system will work best.

    Also couple photos of the pump bracket. you will not see the bracket when i have made the panel that goes on it.
    [​IMG]

    I used counter sunk revets to hold the bracket to the pump bracket. The round hole in the middle of the 2 other holes is for the pump wires to go down into the bottom part of the case to hide them.

    Lian Li 120mm alloy fan grill that i didnt use in my Lian Li pc-v2100. Will use it in this case.

    Did a little work on the ram cooler also.

    Tap the res to G1/4" and fit better barbs than the Swiftech plastic ones m8 ?

    Would really finish it off.

    Just a thought :)

    I just found out I haven't commented on this thread. Been watching in from the start. I watch the Lian-Li case mods because I have a couple of the BestBuy Rocketfish Lian-Li full towers. You have done some nice work on this one:thumb: I'll continue to watch.

    Besides, it makes me want to make my bed every morning. [​IMG]
