ok im starting off with a lian li V2000 case that will house 3 water loops much like TN project. im not going to talk about the water set up right now i will touch on that when i start puting evry thing back in to the case.

the low part of the case psu and hard drive mounts have been removed as well as the center floor of the case. they are going to be replace with 1/4 plexi.

i was going to window the side for the case so you could look in but after an hour of hacking on my case side i gave up. so this is what i came up with i picked up a piece of 30x36 1/4 plexi marked out a new case side and cut it out. added the mounting rails for the case rounded the corners and bam new case side.

im up loading the pics to my host site now so they should be up in a few min

this is a pick of how the hd mounted in the case as you can see i con only hold 6 tops with the new plexi mounts ill be able to hold 10
 
not to be a dick but id try putting multiple images in each post :p easier to understand IMO

This inspires me to make a worklog for my current project... Im too lazy... :(

On topic:

What did you use to cut the plexi? I use a dremel with cut off wheel, seems like there should be a better way...
 
here is what i use

scribe about 1/16 of an inch flip it over put pressure on it and lift up it will snap perfectly on the scribe with a clean break
 
Very cool technique as I suppose then you don''t have to polish the edges, correct?

not at all but you have to have a lot of extra plexi on the scrap side of the break at least 4in or you might end up running a sharp edge in to your hand because it will not snap in one piece like the larger parts will.
 
this is what i started with you have to plan your cuts a few cuts ahead when maping multiple parts on one sheet

man it has taken me about 1 year to get every thing i have. i feal your pain lol :D

ok on topic im trying to think of a way to mount the 360 on top of the case. i cant mount it in side because im running sli and a sound card. i think i can make a plexi mount to fasen the rad to the top of the case and only have the fans on the inside of the case. im not a fan of external rads but i dont think i have a choice right now with a giant hole in the top of my case.

i picked up 2 bulgin van switches that will replace the stock button and my 3 fill ports it looks like it will be a bizzy night tonite

:eek: That is a lot of things that you are going to watercool there. Nice work so far..
 
So Derrick, i've decided I LOVE your lowflow setup. This doesn't happen to often, there is only one other lowflow setup that I like on this whole site.

Do you want to know why I love yours as well as the other persons? Because you guys didn't use those ugly 1/4" tubes. Props, good job, and I like what I see so far =P, keep it up!

how many loops are you going to have?
Click to expand...

well i have been punching some numbers and it looks like 4 loops

cpu loop, hd loop, m/b loop, and video card loop
i will run the video cards off a 360 rad cpu and hd will have their own 120mm rad and the m/b-ram will have a 160mm rad
