Case Mod - In Progress LiLi Tower......final pictures

Wow that looks so nice, really love the effect around all the cuts in the acrylic where it glows.. cant wait to see the end pics!!

 

Love the blue glow, looks like something from Tron.

 

Update!!!

Got my Shinny silver fittings, better than black




Fortunately there are a lot of modders who think along with me. So my good friend Pascal came up with the brilliant idea.
The SLI bridge out of steel, this after much polishing and you have a nickel look SLI bridge





Unfortunately you do not see that much any more of it when the upper part is over it,
but still a little bit.
I have the psu lowered for a few millimeters to get a line with the side panel







The hdd bay on the other side, I've painted it black.





Also this is in line with the side panel



Pretty cool effect the acryl edge under the aluminum plate



I've Also made some adjustments to the top.
The air that the turbine masters blow out in to the case must go somewhere.
Thats why i've made slots in the top



jigsaw and file come in handy



And after much sawing and filing



The end result



For cables that are going to aquaero's.
This still needs a cap over it.





Then it was time to play around with the tubes. The small tubes first





With silver fittings and fill ports it looks very nice now



The GPUs also connected. Left to the radiator and right to the pump



CPU connected



Rams also



Radiator for the GPUs connected



And the pump. first loop is finished





Other loop









Top placed





Tonight I think i'm gonna fill it up and test for leaks.

Grtzzz.

 

I like this!! I like this alot!!

 

nicely done!

 

awesome build, good luck with the leak testing!

 

Before filling, I have made a small change
I dont like tubes crossing each other. So this is how it's gonna be

 

I don't know if I have mist something but what is the point in having two loops if you connect the pumps with each other?
Though really awesome build I have to say Really nice effect with the EL wire. Have 2 of them myself that I'm thinking of putting to use. Also got 2 El tapes on my current chassis.

 

Nah, you didn't miss anything, i think. Connection is just for fun, and to get the pumps in one line
there,s almost no flow between the pumps, all the pressure goes to the outlets on the sides
from the pumps.
Didnt like the original color of the wire, it,s to soft, have seen the red (pink glow) and the white(green glow) but with some adjustment it,s much better

This night i filled the tower up, no leaks
Just a little teaser for you guys

 

Amazing design! I absolutely love it!

 

5 *

 

that coolant looks ermmmm, dodgy?

 

lol, first flow with a lot of air
im using feser ultra pure water

 

This is sweeeeeeet!!! using the 2 cases like that has worked so well. such a tidy and clean looking build. Well done mate...+rep

 

ahh i see, looked a bit viscous lol

 

Really a very nice build kier !

 

Wow! What an amazing build...I love it! I feel an uncontrollable urge to go out and buy three Lian Li's...Aarrgh! Shop are closed it's Easter...

 

Thnx my friend

Good idea, when i wanna put some more hdd's in it, i am gonna place a third one on top

And another update for you guys





Update: filling

Last night filled the first loop. Fortunately, without too much trouble, went pretty smoothly.
I just had to tighten the reservoir.



The teaser, a lot of air after filling



A good flow through the ram and cpu block



After a while, the fog began to pull away



This morning filled the other loop. This went completely without problems



Plenty of bubbles.



And the GPUs are underwater



Air bubbles were during the day all almost gone,
but will still take some time before everything is out





Some more pics from above.







I also received a couple of times the request to show the hole case.
So for the occasion, I put the panels back.
sleeving and connecting cables has to be done and some other small time-consuming things.
And I think to lasercut the side-and top panels, instead of to go messing around to get it right.
These side / top panel gonna have a nice thin edge and different forms (I think)

Lower aluminum panels are good like this with the acryl behind



Top section is now with the acryl panels only



Itself looks all right now, but still think the aluminum panels will be the finishing touch





- Fans are still to be modded (circle center)
- I / O shield also to do something with
- And there's gonna be a backplate for the psu



And front panels below needs to be made. Same dimensions as the two pieces as above



That's it for now

Grtzzz.

 

Update:

The LiLi Tower is of course not on hold. Was only in doubt whether I would let the custom side panels to be laser cutted
or do it myself. Hmm, gonna do it myself.
Measured it 3 times before cutting




Holes for the jigsaw



And after a lot of cutting and filing, 1 x side panel. Others also made but of course in reverse



For the front panel also drawn two pieces



Panel 1



Panel 2



Side has been made and fit. It has the same angle as the reservoir



The part below, only needs to eliminate some cables behind



The right part



And the front panel placed



The display of the aquaero is blue now, I have been using dark blue filter
Other one is still off, still needs to make the cable



And some pictures when it was dark



The front with ........ a blue cross



Line passes through nicely





Total shot



He already runs now for two weeks very smoothly. Needs to do some small things before the final pictures
But these will certainly come.

Grtzzz.

 

Cool little build, very interesting setup.
