Looks like a great project tonnage, any more pics ?

Is that a 240 on its side and a 120 upfront ?
 
This pic is a teaser as work is still progressing, and I like to show things in their final attached position (final? ha, this is moddin' lol) Yes, those are both Evo's. The 240 grille will attach to the sidepanel. This is a two-loop system, and I'll probably mount one pump under the aquatube to feed the Gfx cards, NB, and a couple drives off the 240. There will be another Aquatube and pump in the lower drive bays dedicated to the CPU from the 120. Thanks!
 
Looking nice! Seems nobody likes the place that Lian-Li put their HD racks. ;) That is a nice original place to put it. Is the red Aquatube one of those items you got from Dan?
 
Thanks TN, yes it is. Like those drive cage placements, nobody seemed to like the red ones. (and it was last in stock....anything but the dreaded custom order...lol) I've got a headache figuring clean routing at this point. Less Restriction vs Order seems to be winning. It looks like I'll have to fabricate a bracket to stand the pump on its end under the tube for a straight shot to the rad for it to be first in order, but then that little red guy on my shoulder with the pitchfork sez: psssst (screw it, just run the radiator last and be done with it, and get me another beer!)

Any PSU fits in a V2000 :D

check out the PSU on top of the cabinet (the PSU is the big honkin' silver box that has a handle on it like a briefcase)- 1500 watts...it won't fit in a v2000. :)

ok - i admit it - i cheated by digging up a PSU that is about 1/2 the size of a standard midtower case. :D
 
Now that's what I call a PSU................ :eek: Nice to see you around again Weapon, how's it going these days............. :cool:

Just a side note........Any PSU will fit in my UFO case in either of the 2 positions.................. :p
 
I once started implementing a watercooling setup in my stacker, but never finished because I couldn't decide on a strong and reliable pump. That, and I started college shortly afterwards and didn't have access to many of the tools I usually have nor the time I needed. But here it is, using WA2's shroud which fits perfectly.

I cut out holes in the shroud to allow for the tubing to pass up through it (by hand, and it goes perfect.) I also removed that perforated grill pictured here (That's a picture from my review, with tons more pictures available

And if you look in that 3rd picture of my setup, you'll see there's the power supply bracket with a piece of plexi attached to it. I made that as a nice little window for the thing, cause the 2 80mm fan bracket looked hideous and would vibrate all the time.

Overall, I think I did a good job with the case.. I still have some left to do, like getting a pump and mounting it down in the bottom under neath the drives.. Or mounting it to the top. I'm not sure where I would mount one when I get it. Any suggestions or pictures that anybody has for this, I'd appreciate you posting.
 
You can supposedly mount up to 3 120mm fans on the front of the Stacker w/o modding. You won't have hardly any 5 1/4 bays, so I don't reccomend more than a 120.2 rad.

There's also the Gigabyte 3D Aurora coming out soon that will have two 120mm fan holes in the back stock. So no modding and a good place to mount a rad.
 
Toonage,

Your little "teaser" made me curious about the outcome of your project, especially after seeing the alternative placement for the hard drives.
Anyway, Lian-li is in fact the best case scenario for WC or modding.
Does your project have a name? Have you posted it in this forum[H] ?
