ya thats wat i wanna know

and nice parts man and i LOVE the FFVII side panel, soo sexay

 

[FadedSpark]

i think the discoloration is a reflection, the munting bracket is also tinted beige

and i am most CERTAINLY following

 

[revlimit]

ya that's a reflection from the flash. Not too good with digitial camera still need to work on it.
I decided to disasemble all the rivets and replace it with hex nuts and bolts.

 

[Logan321]

Man that's a lot of parts... this looks like you're just bound to have extra bits when you put it back together, unless you photo-documented where everything goes. Looks good so far though.

 

[N H O]

how much was the window if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Miller]

Are you concerned any about the heatpipe being inverted, as the primary concern about Lian-Lis and the A8N-SLI Premium was? That was the only thing, pretty much, besides the price point, that made me go with the P180 over a Lian-Li V2000 or something. Otherwise, are you removing the heatpipe and putting a passive cooler on the chipset/mosfets?

Other than that, looks nice. Go FFVII. That movie was sweet.

 

[revlimit]

The windows cost $70.
I'll try it with heat pipe on and see if it will cause any problem.
I've good memory, so I don't think there will be a problem putting the case back together.

 

[revlimit]

here are some picture of the parts painted and polished.

 

[ShoNuff]

You are off to a great start. That case is my favorite...be good to her!!!

 

[Hard911]

I like your etched window, wonder how it looks like w/ light on

 

[cnick79]

What did you use to paint the parts? Aren't you afraid you will put scratches in the paint when you reassemble?

 

[revlimit]

I used Krylon paint.

Limit Exceeded

 

[revlimit]

sorry about the image. Problem fixed with new host.

 

[Majin]

Sick Sick Sick!
F**king love it!
The FF7 plexi is TITZ

 

[revlimit]

here is picture of the plexi I ordered from voyeurmods as well. I deceided to stack the blue plexi on top of the original one.

Excellent idea with the stacking of mounting plates. That will give you extra clamping force if you so desire! Nice work over-all.

BTW, How was the expirience working with VMods on the custom etch?

 

[el rolio]

i love the storm block. that is all.

They took a while, like a month but the quality is great. The plexiglass is almost twice as thick as the original windows. The cut was good and it was a direct replacement.

 

[rogue_jedi]

looking good!

next time etch it yourself

the black knight always triumphs!

 

[stelleg151]

Cant go wrong, this is going to be good.

 

[revlimit]

I didn't like the silver face that came with the Aquaero so I modifed a bay cover instead. Sorry for

the image quality and I was too lazy to stop and take step by step picture.

 

[skudmunky]

Look's good, I'll be watchin'

 

[Willsonman]

Nice choice in hardware... this should be good

 

[revlimit]

Here is my first fan grill. I got the idea from one of the project log at Bit-tech.net




Got this cool kit from Costco.

Took me awhile to design this.

Got this huge 4 1/2 hole saw off Ebay for $10, much cheaper than Home Depot.

Here it is nice and polished.

 

[Dumass_Freakboy]

Pretty

 

[Jazz]

Got this cool kit from Costco.

How much did that kit cost you?

 

[revlimit]

I think was around $40 bucks, don't quite remember.

 

[revlimit]

Here is are some cutting of the case for the case handles and AC reservior.

This is for the AC grill where the radiatior will be placed.

 

[MrSlacker]

Great job man! Looking forward to more updates

Any advice for cutting holes with a jigsaw? I'm planning to do a similar Radgrillz/Rad mod. Just got the jigsaw, but have no clue how to set it up for cutting metal...

Go slow and take your time. Use the blades with the most teeth, they are usually for metal cutting.

Anyone knows if Lian Li offier sponsorship. Looking at the PCX-2000.
