The Lian Li Gallery

This is a great thread, weird i never found this one before. Now and then i'm looking at all this pages with nice casemods, but i would like to share my case here too. I bought the case somewhere in the beginning of 2007 and worked over a year on it. It was a slow project but i like the result. I never made a project log online so i hope you don't mind i put some "making off" pictures here. Here is my project called "Vio-Li"

I really like the different colored lights, clean water-cooling setup, and the smooth metal working skills. Pro job.

I used RGB leds that constantly change in all colors, inside the reservoir and GPU waterblock, all the rest are UV Leds. Therefor i used clear water inside green tubes.
 
The thought of putting casters on the case and then putting case on the table is something I still struggle to process ... I know those casters have locks in them .. but still .. I'd imagine more "ground clearance" could be a rationale for this when there's an intake on the bottom .. but what else might it be (as the majority of the cases w/ casters I saw on the tabletop did not have any holes in the bottom)?

I never had any problems with it moving forward for some reason, I like the wheels on it because its handy moving the case, for example, to a lanparty. As it weights over 28kgs :D
I also like to have it visible instead of standing somewhere under my desk in a corner.

What;s the front panel screen from and what do you us it for?
Click to expand...

The screen is a 5,6" TFT (Zenec 561USM) thats normally used in cars for navigation or DVD playing. The screen is connected as a "extended desktop" and i use it for monitoring temperature programs. Or just to put other stuff out of the way from the main screen, like music players. Ingame it can also be used for Teamspeak... Its a bit small, but otherwise i had a lot of empty 5.25 drivebays :D

The buttons on the screen are not reacheble anymore, i connected the powerbutton for the screen to the left green powerbutton. The rest of the menu and setting buttons can be be used by a remote controle that came with it.

Awesome. I've always wanted to do something like that with the screen on the front. Was it difficult to install and wire?

As you can see on the pictures i milled an aluminium frame so i could mount the screen nicely. As it is made for a 12V car battery i could connect it straight to the computers power supply. And the video input is composite, for that i had to buy a DVI to composite convertor powered by USB.
 
Oh the old days my first water cooled computer a Lian Li V2000 and it also doubles as a tank,

I really wanted to do multi windows for my both my side panels too. I got an old LL I'm thinking of modding. How hard was it?

Nice job cramming all that into your case! I'd have gone with the io cover vs improved airflow, though.
 
Ah, this is the thread I should have posted these in. Here's some pictures of what I did to make a picoPSU work easier with a PC-Q07.

First, I fashioned a ATX sized plate out of 3/32" ABS plastic. It's easy to drill but not so easy to cut. I am lucky I still have 10 fingers. Then I measured and drilled 4 6-32 holes and tapped them to make them threaded. I drilled the holes to mount the fan and a big hole using a hole saw for the exhaust. I also drilled on for the picoPSU jack.

Then I attached the picoPSU jack and 80mm fan, grill, etc.

Here's what it looks like mounted in the PC-Q07:

I've made more since, including one for an Apex MI-008 (SFX sized) and the latest ones are a lot straighter :).

Without a huge PSU in there, my temps are WAY down and it's nearly silent because the CPU fan isn't winding up and competing with the PSU fan.
 

Nice rig. very neat cabling. That 570 looks so lonely and is begging for some SLI

What PC-X version is that?

I really like what you did there with the tubing. Pretty neat idea and your rig is nice and clean.
 
Its good to see someone else used the plastic tubing to tidy up wires. Nice rig mullet... and everyone else too.

I think that case is begging for some water cooling a la Corsair H100 on the top.
 
Not as much room in the "attic" as you might imagine. Thought about the prepackaged liquid cooling option. But i worry about the longevity of those units (my last build lasted me seven years.) And they really don't cool any better than then higher quality air coolers, and in some cases, not as well.

What I do like is that the new setup is vastly quieter than the one it replaced.
 
Here is my Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P50WB.
My camera really does not do it justice.
One of the nicest, best made cases I have ever owned:
