After some time hangin around here i thougt lets post my casemod here, still building it. I bought a secondhand LianLi v1000B plus, it was already coated black so that was a +. When it got here after 2 days i was verry happy, Lets unwrap the ************!:coke: Then i scared the hell out. My eyes were seeing this: Now that says enough, some fatdude/chick have used my case as a chair. Wtf how much weight do u need for that kinda damage to a LiLi v1000 After some calls and mails i got the green light to fix the damn thing. So i disambled the whole mofo and start beating it up(in a good way), and i Got some good results. Used: heater, hammer, 3clamps,piece of 4sided tube. So lets go on then, my base was OK now and 100% in 1 line. Thats some good progres. After 2 days i got myself 2 HWlabs blackGT's. 1st location. Some fancy LiLi fanconnectors for the eye side :crack: Got myself some awesome goodie! It look like an triangular sandingmachine,but what can he do more? Hmm i can do some sawing with it, so lets try it on my sidepanel. Give the sidepanel some protection and drawed my design on it. The idea for the panel. Than i hooked the sanding machine whith the pre-ordered sawingblade. Thing working like hell! damn so ****ing straight Otherwise, i need to file it bij hand sooooo, hmm the machine is nice but still need some elbowgrease to make it worthy. First half is done, looks awesome-o Not 100% but that is for some othertime, my fingers where hurting like hell. This looks good right? (the res was a mock-up but hell no its not worthy the case like that) Time to set rad Nr2. Some protection/holy modderstape. Made myself some template(look good ) Grabbed my FEIN again and attacked the case. The Toy himself. After some cleaning and filling.(the edges wil be made black again) Pinned down. Looks Ok for me boys! Got the rad back in place.(whith the mockup res) Got some lexan plate an taped it up. Get the FEIN again WHaha. Let the machine work That cut to the correct size, After some playing whith the FEIN. Kinda rough edged After some filling After some sanding Holes? 1 to-go. Some old **** what im working whith. 2 holez. Now that fits quite good! Ripped of the tape and drilled some holes and countersink it. Time to get the switch inplace. After test fitting it, it fits. Mockup. Painted the piece black, for the pwerfect finish. Its all done now, im verry happy whith the looks! After these thing some time goes by, then i got some mail of 2 people/companies who wanted to sponsor me, after some dealing i went for the best deal. the sponser is: Got some goodies after 1 week. The box contains: EVGA GTX295 single pcb Bitspower black freezer VGA block.(look freaking awesome!) EVGA classified Full cover block+mosfet black freezer. a TFC Xchanger 120 rad. Some fanrubbers. Im so happy whith it u know my setup now to (a little). Some better pics. So back to the modding again. Got myself an John Lund res and give it this place. Give the Xchanger 1.120 rad this place: After deep thinking(LOLZ) i have made myself a drawed loop, for the idea, Pump is a d5+BP modkit and top. Thats is for today
Well what happenned to your Lian li is horrible (ask the guy if he played some football with it?) But the way you repaired it is brilliant! I wouldn't have believed it is possible before seing it. And i like the rounded shape on the front.
If you'd have shown me before and after pictures I'd have to you to "go do one". You've done a great job getting it all straightened out. It looked like it had been in a traffic accident before. This mods looking good. I'll be keeping a close eye on it. Well done mate keep it up. Have some rep .
You did an excellent job fixing that Lian Li. I would have had some very serious words with the shipping company about that one. I have liked what you have done so far. I really like that new plexi shroud you made for the front, ever think of adding some silver mesh behind the holes? You have some good WC gear there and the loop looks nice and tidy. Looking forward to more.
Its, time for a F*cking update! Use some glasses, PS help needed, John-lund or EK150MO?. second package of the sponsoring.. Incloded: Whooohooo more BP! Lets start whith the pump. containing the modkit+POM top. The pump. 30 min later: Totally coowl. Ledstrip + sleeving. hammond boxes, lets go cleaned. +some early cablemess. cutted some sides away to make it bigger. On there places. Looks verry clean, I want the case so clean as possible. then i switched the jonh-lund for the EK150MO. So what is better? The clean EK or the john-lund? Pump placing. Some other updates comming soon!
damn i had the chance to buy a v1000 for £40 not long ago wish i had the cash this is the sex would love to do something similiar
To answer to your question I prefer the john-lund res. But I guess It depends of how the rest of your case mod will look.
Here's another update! Pump placing + hardpiped res. First of al i made some holes. Modded the mountingbrace The standard measurement was to low, so i drilled the holes 1cm further, now its perfect! Before. After. Mounting the brace. Getting the pump on his place. Putting the res on his place. See u again tomorrow!
Excellent work on the pump and res mounting, it looks very clean. Also, where did you get the 240mm template? Did you make it yourself or download it for somewhere?
very nice work.. The Lund res is way better than the EK res.. it sort of ooze of quality if you know what i mean
