Lian-Li pc-a06 case mods

[nigelnathan]

I thought I would start up a thread for all people with the `space saver` lian-li pc-a06. I have watercooled an nvidia 9800gx2 and a intel q6600 quad core with a xspc 450 watercooling kit fan blowing in and as an add-on an black ice gtx 160 radiator as the rear exhaust is 2 x 80mm. The two fans on the outside of the case are 80mm blowing in as is the front exhaust. There is a 120mm blowhole blowing out at the top rear to clear any latent heat issues.

Q6600 OC to 3.20ghz
Gigabyte GA-X38-DS5
9800gx2 stock speed
LG bluray burner
card reader
geil black dragon 4gb 5.5.5.15
Gigabyte 550w odin gt power supply
asus xonar dx card (onboard disabled)
XSPC 450 watercooling kit
Black ice gtx xtreme 160 radiator

sunbeam blue led case feet, standard generic grills for 120mm blowhole, bottom radiator. I think the feet allow more air to circulate the bottom radiator and add a nice effect, temperatures have dropped.

there is already a big thread about this case, a little search wouldn't hurt.

They are close enough to be fair.

The older case is where I did my homework.

 

[nigelnathan]

I can see why modders would prefer the PC-a05 because of the 120mm fan at the rear, this case is not as wide, more compact, essentially very similar in most ways.

 

[nigelnathan]

just got to get some uv lighting, blue led fan for the blowhole and a side panel laser cut to finish it off.

Update just upgraded to a Black ICE GT Xtreme M160 Double Radiator from www.thecoolingshop.com this is the newer generation of radiators from Hardware Labs, boasts lots of improvements so I`m up for that.

I think I will go for another xilence blue led fan on the bottom radiator.

Am I the only one modding this case?

i'll be doing a watercooled build in one of these cases so we'll see how that goes. should be starting the log in a week or 2.

Keep us updated, I'd like to see this.

Update to build added hiper blue led fans 80x80x15cm to gtx extreme rad, looking forward to steveG keeping peace efforts apparently based on the same case.

No, theyre' pretty different really. Fail, epically.
