Case Mod - In Progress "Monochrome" Lian Li V600f / Finished 28Nov

Should be 7 nylon strings. I'm not sure on the exact numbers but that's why its called "550". Each string has a specific weight limit and the sheathing does as well adding up to 550. A full piece of 550 can hold 550 lbs. Just a little gee wiz

 

Thank you, GotMod, I`m going to do the same think, but I decided to ask your method at first.

@Krikkit, there are some strong cord in the middle, I use it to pull long wires through the paracord

 

Little update:

Nothing special, just replaced all stock lian li's fans.

BitFenix Spectre LED White 140mm at the top. It will also be used as the lights:







Arctic Cooling ARCTIC F12 120 mm for the rad (push/pull). Not the best efficiency, but the look is great:

 

This is looking great GotMod? Good call on "ascetics over efficiency" on the fans

 

Looking good so far.

 

i've got 3 arctic 120 PWM in my case - they pretty noisy for my ears i can tolerate them only at 40-50%
OT: they were cheapest PWM fans i can get... never thought about myself that i so acoustic intolerant as anesthesiologist i'm pretty deaf but this boys loud

 

Thank's!!!

I'll check it when the case will be done. I'm more concerned about the temps. If i will be not satisfied with it i'll go for GTs.

//cpu gpu wateblocks installed, pictures soon...

 

Very good job! Simple and clean.. I love this kind of mods! Keep it up

 

Thank u.
Seen your build on xtreme. Amazingly illuminated midplate and the rig itself

 

Little update. Installed cpu and gpu waterblocks.

Here are some photos of the blocks i made:

EK-SUPREME HF - ACETAL+EN (NICKEL)



EK-FC580 GTX - NICKEL



CPU installed:





Some pics of gpu mounting process:









And the result:

 

if i'll be e-tailer - i've ramp up prices for _old_ design EK products 50%... at least...
nice parts here!

 

Mount the cpublock as it shoud be !, otherwise it looks great!

 

Hmm, I really didn't think it would matter. seen many builds with this way of mounting.
Can anyone explain me the difference if I rotate it, please?
Thanks.

 

Have you considered putting a shroud on top of the waterblock? I have no idea why, but I always liked having something covering that 2nd slot. It just seems so...interesting.

 

maybe there be better results when WB fins will be perpendicular with CPU core?

 

Little update.

Started to mount the rad, but faced a problem. Rad wouldn't fit in stock lian li's holes:


So i started to think how to mount it. One way was to make custom stands and the other was to use XSPC brackets. I stopped on second one:



And when i began to mount it, i came with a genius idea. If i rotate the lian li's stand upside down, the rad would fit perfectly. So i started to do it:






Upside down:



Mounted the rad to the stand and to the case:











Also placed 140 fan at the top:



Pump is also in the place. (Almost out of space for cables). Some pics of the current state:

 

It`s pretty! I like colours! 2 fans are good enough for this thick radiator?

 

Thanks, Shurika!! I hope it will be enough. If not, i've got a Plan B:



Also started to think what to do with the front panel and how to cover it:



Came up with this design (the letter "M" for Monochrome). Going to use white and black plex (2mm each):



Planning to play with some leds and something else ))

Build at the moment (routing hoses, which will be replaced with white or black):

 

Looking good. Keep it up!

 

It was quite a few posts ago, but your video of sleeving the cables *totally* helped me out. I had tried about 6 different methods and couldn't get it right, but your ideas to 1) wrap the tip in tape, and 2) melt the end around the tip a bit when finished, took me from madly frustrated to sleeving cables. Thank you so much for that video!
