where do y'all buy your Lian-Li online for fair price? Looking for a PC-V1000Z for a friend who has no internet connection.
His budget is at $1800.
Air Cooled

thanks in advance
 
You mean $180?

1000Z AFAIK is not available yet...should be within a month or so (if not sooner).
Expect $229 or higher price.
 
$1800 total build...he is recycling majority of his older pc parts
DVD-dual burners
750 or 850watt PSU...I think its a Silverstone
two 75GB Raptors...he just bought 1TB WD
I know its an intel chip not sure which he got
8800 GTX
older case was a Chemning I think.
 
I just got an XFX 8800 GS XXX Alpha Dog Edition... I had to get it, it was only $67.50 and I was tired of my 7950GT. Anyway, I figured I'd change a few things and put my red lights in again...

I am enjoying the new GPU... I love they way it looks as well as it's performance... it kills my old 7950GT by a long shot... maybe I need to upgrade my GPUs more often :p
 
@TooBooKoo

removed middle hd rack. got perforated bay covers. got 1 more stealth bay cover. got slotted pci slot covers. swapped out all fans for coolermaster 110cfm fans (admittedly a little bright). cheap ($11.00) fan controller. swapped out crappy lian li filters for a.c. ryan.
soon -
black aluminum casters, 3x3 5.25" hd rack w/ 120mm fan (little extra cooling for summer), black thumbscrews, akasa soundproofing. bulgin anti vandal switches and cast aluminumplate (will add reset button) and next time i swap out motherboard (prob in a couple weeks for 790i) i will drill 1 or 2 120mm holes on top panel for fans.

re cables. i think its ultra brand psu come with the cables sleeved like that. maybe other brands now also.
 
PSU is a Seasonic S12 650... and I sleeved all the wires myself. I cannot bring myself to part with this PSU... it so energy efficient... produces little to no heat under a nice load. Plus, one time I shorted it and knocked the power out :rolleyes: came back on no problem :D how can I turn my back on that.

how'd you get your MB power cable to be like that?

Very carefully?

Haha, no you have to remove each wire from the ATX plug and mesh them each seperately.. kinda of a pain, personally I don't think its worth it but, whatever.

I know I'm not the OP but....
 
coolchu001... I got some snake skin and some heat shrink and went to to work . It really helps the process if you have a pin removal tool, but you can get it done with a modified pair of tweezers as well. I basically untangled all the wires and did one wire at a time so I did not have to label them... it took me about 25 minutes total.

lillimon04... I found it over @ Micro Center in Dallas, Tx. it was on their clearance table. I went over there to get a couple of SATA cables and a hard drive, then I see this and I couldn't resist :D
 
If it works it works, but I'd clean that tubing up, maybe throw in a color or something.

Some well placed zip ties will fix up the cables, but it does take effort to get it perfect.
 
I know the tubing is looking pretty nasty, and the cable management is pretty bad. But do you guys seriously think it looks that bad? What should I do to help it out?


My friend, for what you've done the the heralded & beloved Lian Li V series, you should be dealt with by firing squad :mad:. However, all is not lost. Take a look at my worklog, its a V1200 (yes I know your is a V2000) and I show some nice cabling and building techniques for a water cooled v1200/V2000 system. Yours could look very similar.
 
Heh, not everyone can have a setup as perfect as your's Dark...

It shouldn't really matter imo... if he's content with it... then he's content with it...

I thought about going the perfectionist route, and it was too much work imo...




Almost zero-effort into hiding cables... I hid the 8-pin under the motherboard, that was it...

Thanks Dark, you have a beautiful system, and I will defiantly try to use some of your ideas on my v2000.

Non-perfectionist huh.... Your system looks pretty clean to me :p And your right, it IS too much work. But a labour of love..=D

Thanks =) Feel free to use any technique I've shown at your disposal.V series builds can be truly magnificent when care is taken and design is thought out.
 
Thanks! :)

I used a Jigsaw. I took my time and "let the blade do the cutting." Afterwards, a quick sanding then finish with a sharpie.
