The 65 is smaller then the Antec/Cheiftec cases....and the 75 is larger then it. The PC6x cases are about 16" tall....the Antec/Cheiftec chasis's are about 18".....and the PC7x Lian-Li's are either 22 or 24". The PC70 is fricken massive....to the point where I'd hate to own one....so much harder to wire things up when you've got 3 times the space to stretch from a mobo header to a cdrom drive in teh top bay.

true......... that was one though that came to mind...
 
I'm joining the club. I'm going home this weekend(i'm at college) to start the modding of my new computer. If all goes to plan i'll have the window in my new pc-61 done this weekend and i'll post pics. Unfortunately i have to wait until my next paycheck to get the rest of the hardware, but with luck i'll have a nice custom case to put it in by then.
 
Well.....here's my PC60 in the state that it's currently in.....all of the cutting done that I'm doing myself....just gotta get a few more things done to it before the entire thing gets painted an automotive finish black inside and out:

Don't worry about any knicks and burs from the cutting....as the case is being sanded down and painted anyways. I'm quite pleased with how nice I got the cut on the front bezel actually....putting mesh in that rectangle and having it painted with teh case to match perfectly.

Here's the little cut i made so that I'll be able to pass wires straight through to the back of teh case and behind the mobo tray....one design flaw about the Lian-Li PC6x and 7x cases that I really hate. It'll be interesting to see how much that hole cleans things up.

I really do love the window I've got right now and how nicely it was cut with the fan mounted on the back via a kind of epoxy so that I didnt need any screws....kept it very clean looking. That and the Lanparty sicker goes quite well I think. :p

The sticker sticks out but it's nice. I like, and I wish I could have gotten my hands on a Lian Li. :p
 
looks good cornelious0_0, ill prolly be making the same hole on my pc-65b this weekend. and cut out the back fan grill.

yeah man, that hole is REALLY gonna help. The ony wires I really had showing it the old setup were a bunch of 'em up by the cdrom.....but with that hole there the wires are gonna all be able to go behind the plate and around the corner to the mobo....no mess. :D

My buddy has a holesaw that I gotta get too....so the stock grills are coming off, a 120mm fan is going up top as a pull fan on my heatercore to blow the air out of the case, and I'm putting a second 80mm exhaust in teh back......and doing aluminum fans, which'll look REALLY nice agains the black case.

I'll keep ya posted on it all for sure, it's gonna one hell of a case. :cool:

how'd you mount your harddrives in the cd-rom cage?

I'm guessing he's got some kind of spacer or bracket up there for 'em.....either that or he's gone ghetto. ;)
 
That hole you cut for wire management will help alot, i did the exact cut, as did 2 of my other friends and the outcome was great.

:cool:

Just gotta fix that ATX cable....as soon as I get my new PSU and sleeve everything in the case black I'm going to cut another hole in the mobo plate, but this time for the ATX cable to pass through, so that it can tuck right up against the mobo like the ribbon cable is doing.....cus having it going out to the right like that is starting to bug me. :p
 
I made a thread about this, but it fits here too. Here is my new window in my pc-61.

Its not done yet because I ran out of time on the weekend. It still needs to be smoothed out along the edges and i need to attach the plexi.

I will be adding lights later, but I want to get the actual computer in there and working first because I am sick of my current one.

Good stuff, I like the design. But yeah, needs that sanding. ;)

Tre, I realise that you might be going for a different look, but is there a reason that you don't/didn't install the CCFL on the other side of that metal plate so that it'd like up more of the actual system, and not stick out like a swore thumb with the panel off. :p

The only thing about my case that isn't standard right now is the hole in the side panel. What exactly are you refering too? Note that the only piece of hardware in there right now is the power supply, there's no motherboard yet. Did it look like the tray was near the window with stuff on the other side?
 
Thought I'd give the gallery a bump....as its on MY 3rd page of threads in my CP, so god only knows how far back it is in the forum listings. ;)

I won't have any pics of my finished case until closer to the end of the year, because I now have my watercooling up and running, but on the 12th I'm getting my Maze4 block for the XT-PE, and the 26th is when I order my 3.2E.

First couple weeks in December I'll be picking up the mesh and stuff for the case and finally getting it painted. I just wanna make sure that I have the actual SYSTEM done before the end of the year, because I have two local LAN's I'm going to in January, and we run benchmark contests.....hehe. ;)

At the same time though I wanna have the case done to have a good shot at the case mod contests too, so you can be sure that the case WILL be done sometime in December. :cool:
 
Installing the HDDs the other way around ends in a nice and clean case...

Still waiting for my Ultra X-Connect Power Supply.

I certainly will do the "WTX"-Mod...
 
Flip the motherboard upside down und install it on the opposite side.

Bro, can you not route all of your SATA cables behind the hard drive cage? it'd clean things up quite a bit, a the fact that the cables are blue makes them stand out even more, and you don't want that if you're going for clean. ;)
 
"Cleaner" routing will follow right after the WTX-Mod.

Without the WTX-Mod routing is quite tricky, because the SATA-Connector has a 90° angel.

ZUSA_005_1g.jpg


In fact some of the cables should be seen, because they are uv-reactive...
 
Well I know where you're coming from on the UV thing, but they should still be hidden to an extent. Hope you clean it up a tad after the mod, and I can't wait to see how the X-Connect works out for ya. :cool:
 
Hey are any of you guys using the little 3-position switch included with the Lian Li's to control your fans? If so how much power can the little controller handle?

The only time I ever touched that thing is when I un-screwed it and ripped the bugger out of my case, didn't really think much of it. That and I kept bumping my finger on it when I would raise my hand up to press the reset button....so it had to go. :p
 
Well, mine is a work in progress atm

I've got the window lian li panel, with a BFV Huey applique on it, and UV lights to add, and put the bezel back on eheheh


But exam time atm, then ill start cleaning the cables and hiding them...

but i need thoughts/suggestions as what to do.. possible watercooling? (but i dont wanna spend too much)

My focus is on performance, at very low noise levels,
hence the p4 3ghz with intel heatsink, however it is a prescott so gets hot
(idles around 32-35 degrees and under load goes upto 60)

I moved the intake fans onto other side of bezel, so i can fit my hdds in the bottom cage reverse (less mess visible), i will move the other 2 hdds down there too everntually...

so yeah, constructive comments/ suggestions welcome :)
 
this may sound nuts, but i found that if you take out the floppy cover, you can slide in a harddrive that'll fit almost perfectly in the space, thus not taking up alot of room.

and koegs, you need to take some pictures of while you're doing the WTX mod, i've thought about doing it for a very long time. It seems so ridiculously easy to do, and the cooling should drop pretty well too.
 
As soon as i have moved the parts into another case i will start the mod. (Moving will be done tomorrow evening)

I also will add another fan hole in the back (there is plenty of space left on the motherboard tray).

Some other users in the german forum www.lianli-modding.com did the mod and they say it should be done in about 2 hours. :eek:

Well, routing of the power cables to the motherboard will be a problem.
The X-Connect power supply got no approval for germany, so no german shop will sell it. :mad:

So for now i will stick to the beQuiet 450Watts. Cut the unneeded cables and i will sleeve it.

That hole in the top section REALLY helped more then I ever thought it would, and I highly recommend it.

agreed,. and if koegs your flipping it, just make the hole the side where the mobo is.

The "green" connector will be no problem, i will make a hole just like cornelius,
for the "red" connector i probably will make a hole into the motherboard tray right on top of it.

Yeah, put the hole about an inch or two towards the middle of the mobo in the plate for the ATX cable to pass though and you'll be fine.

Another thing, don't cut the hole for that 4pin P4 plug above it, cut it moreso where I have mine......about an inch BELOW the plug, and run the cable up under the board and out from underneath.

I really wanna get you guys some new pics with the h2O but I got no camera. :(

Seriously? If you are then that's the second or third time that's happened with a few of these stickies getting mixed up in the last day or so. :p
 
koegs your wire management is good, and judging by the fact that you are getting an x-connect, i would say that you want as much UV stuff out there as you want. Really, your wires are in spots that wont be annoying or a detriment to the computer's cooling. Well done, and post pics of the UV once you are done with the xconnect and the mobo rotation.
 
Thank you,

but the picture is not up to date...

Look here for recently changes:
http://www.wilke-service.net/gallery/LianLi_SilverBlue?page=2

As i said, i won`t be able to get an X-Connect (for now).
I will stick to my "beQuiet"-Power Supply.

On Monday i have ordered 30 UV-LEDs with steel casings.

The WTX-Mod has been considered "not good" because of some problems with the massive amount of hdds in this "little" case.
