Now that is a Legendary Lian Li V series, and i LOVE my!
Thank you CLock3 and xveganx for breaking into the battle going on here and posting those beautiful V series'
Here's mine...
I decided to put in a new brick wall and some nice new carpet
Sorry, guess I got a little carried away, but that guy is still an idiot...
Back on topic, Are you comfortable with your CPU heatsink holding up the aluminum framed fans? I have some of them laying around and they weigh far too much for me to trust hanging one off my ThermalRight Ultra 120 (not Extreme lulz)
Thank you
I was bored and I had access to some art markers... this is what happened and I kind of liked it. I always love seeing your audio gear... it inspires me, makes me want to make some music
No apology required from me... but thank you nonetheless.
Honestly I wasn't happy about the added weight at first, but...
the heatsink is very close to the divider in the Lian Li and when I added the foam junk it made it that much closer... also I'll let you in on a little secret (shhh, don't tell anyone), I have a small sliver of wood underneath it to help keep it from sagging... although there wasn't much sag to begin with.
I had to use them though, I love these fans... they keep a decent noise level and they are capable of blowing the capacitors right off the motherboard
Are there any benefits to metal case fans besides looks?

last longer than plastic, some say they are more quite.
None that I can think of. I mean, the fan isn't fully metal. The blades are just plastic painted in a shiny silver, to mimic chrome. The only metal is the frame and parts in the motor.

Krame i think with out the lighting effects that wouldnt look like it does right now.
lolwhut?
I had some problems with my 8800GTX with Dangerden waterblock, so here's what I ended up with for now. It looked a lot better before, but it looks like I'm going to have to RMA the video card and wait till I get it back. Aside from adding the video card waterblock, I'm also planning to repaint the radiator, add push pull fans on both radiators, and perhaps a fill/drain port for convenience.
Thanks for all the inspiration from the guys before me and keep it up!

ahhh nice SFF case I didn't know Lan Li made one
Might have to switch cases.....hmmm...
You can't. That is the result of his modding skills. But Mini Ninja, SI-128 or NH-C12P fits pretty well.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt your Tuniq Tower indexed the wrong way? You need to turn it 90 degress, anyone else agree? Other than that, looking real good!
You are correct. The case does not have enough space to allow such a configuration, however. Some motherboards have the CPU socket more towards the middle, the 680i motherboard is towards the end so the Tuniq hits the divider if installed the other way than shown. Good thing is, my CPU is still rock steady and only hits 56*C on load even with the fan on low.

You did a really good job of replicating voodoo's work, almost looks identical if you don't know what to look for.
Has anyone put a vent/blowhole on the top of their V1000B? I know a lot of people put them on the A05Bs, and they look good on them. The grills typically used are either this or this (I'd probably go with the latter for my case). I've just been contemplating doing the same to my V1000B, but I'm not sure if I want to cut into her, haha. I don't know if it will end up looking good or not. It flows well with the A05B and fits the case, but I'm not sure if it will do the same with mine. The reason I'm thinking about doing it is because the case comes with the fan and vent next to the video card area that is supposed to vent, but I feel like it doesn't do the best job there. I can put my hand next to the vent, and there isn't a whole lot of airflow, mainly because of the mesh vent I think. Since the fan is about an inch away from the actual vent I think that a lot of the air doesn't push through the best. I feel like if I took that fan, and moved it to the top of the case, that it would do a better job of exhausting heat from the area.
Installed a bulgin switch, did some cable management (now I just need a new motherboard that has a good layout and doesn't require a molex plug), and managed to fit all six of my HDDs into my case.
I saw a similar modification done on, I think, Gruntville where the guy screwed one of the bottom HDD bays into the 5.25" bay area. I found that I did not need to screw mine in as it is very stable and does not rattle the case. I also used the Lian Li video card cooling fan holder that comes with the case and installed it above the HDD rack that is in my 5.25" bays. This is one of the reasons why the HDDs are vertical, the other reason is because I can hide the SATA cables better. Now they stay at the same temp as the HDDs on the bottom of the case, which are cooled by the front fan as designed by Lian Li. The reason for this modification is because the PSU, even with my short HX520, is very cramped with both bays in and would make working on the case not fun. Plus, I was planning to purchase one of the Lian Li HDD mounting kits, but this saves me at least $22.
The PCI fan above my video card is great. Purchased it many months ago for ~$2.99 shipped from Newegg when they had the big fan sale. It is not terribly loud at 12v, but at 7v it is silent and still pushes a good amount of air. Took 5-7*C off my video card temps so it was worth it.
Some other things:
Removed the front USB/audio device that is installed at the bottom of the case. That took away a bunch of cables. I never use those things either.
Yes, I have one silver 5.25" bay cover instead of one black one. I'm too cheap to buy one so it'll stay like that for now.
HDD rack:
Overall, I am quite happy with this Lian Li. My previous PC-70 rattled a ton and this case doesn't at all. Still holds the high quality standards of Lian Li, too. I would've liked a PC-V1200B instead, but that would've cost me another >$40 dollars. The V1200B that I was looking at came with the solid side panel rather than a window, and since it was the Plus II model, the side panel had a mesh fan grill integrated in it, which increases the noise level and ruins the look, IMO.

Nice 360.
