Case Mod - In Progress "Unreal Tournament Tribute" Lancool Case Mod.... FINISHED!

This Case Mod was done by bit-tech's MOTM Sponser, Mnpctech!


Customize your PC or window with custom Stickers from Mnpctech HERE





Lancool cases come from the engineers at Lian-Li. The Dragonlord K series gives you the same features found in several of Lian Li's aluminum mid towers, but constructed from steel to lower retail cost. The PC-K62 features a 100% tool-less design that makes working with the case enjoyable. IMHO the K62 is currently the best mid tower case on the market. It is incredibly functional and well made.

This project is a gift for a friend who helped me out a few years ago. It will be a tribute to one of his favorite games, "Unreal Tournament" This image of "Reaper" will serve as my inspiration.


I had opportunity to review the K-60 version, it shares the same chassis, but it's unpainted and lacks window and has 140mm fans w/o LEDs.

Here is where everything is at currently.

I have the pleasure of being one of the first to respond.

This is going to be sick!

All of your rigs are air cooled, have you thought about water cooling?

 

Cant wait to see where this goes!

 

wow you never stop eh?

just sit here looking at what will you do to this case, but i already know it will be something awesome

 

oooooooooo a dark and AWESOME theme im curious to see where you go with this

something dark and industrial me hopes

 

Sometimes I wish I had got one of those cases (probably the full black one though) instead of my Fractal Design R3.

Is there any chance of squeezing a 280 radiator up top?

I can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

One intake fan and three exhaust fans..... Dust magnet.

 

Tell me your not going to get rid of the red on the chassis, it's gawjussss. You've got to try and work with it some how Bill.

 

Awesome, I just picked up one of these cases this week so it'll be interesting to see what you do with it. I have to second the quality of the case and features it was a steal for £80.

Been back looking at some of your other threads your mods are works of art.

 

UT has long been one of my favourite game series'. Looking forward to this mod, especially if it shares some of the grime style of your Corsair mod.

 

@zr_ox, this is for a friend, he wants to Aircool it.

@JimmyTheHand, Thanks for tuning in, sorry I couldn't update sooner!

@Soulman84, Yes, I like to keep busy

@DeadP1xels, there is talk of blood splatters.., but nothing too crazy!

@DeltaFX, yes, it could collect around the optical drive face plates

@bulldogjeff, No sir! As is, to save time and costs

@iajo, thats a great deal. It's a great mid tower design

@Moriarty, cool, it should be fun!

280 custom alum fan grill for top panel with rotating "U" inserts. .....Vents in the top cover will be removed.









Removed the top cover vents.


Hand filed the sides after using the Jigsaw..


I may or may not use the Red anodized screws





I etched the Unreal logo into the side panel window with my Dremel and these Engraver Attachments

 

This is gonna be another classic build. I love the window etchings, turned out great!

 

+1 on that and that grill is wicked.

 

Thanks dudes!

OMG, that is brilliant. I thought it would have been CNC'd when I saw the pattern. Looks like it has, it's turned out that well. Top modding Bill. I think I need to ask Santa for a scroll saw and and Dremmel and a camera and.......

 

You've got him started Bill

Totally in agreement with my learned friend though, as always top quality work in progress!!!

 

Thats some epic handworking skillz mate !

 

Nice front. Right now I anm in favor of kepping red screw.

 

Awesome sauce, looks brilliant. I too like the red anodized screws, they should stay..

 

Cool!
