Looking to modify this this fine Lian Li Case to fit a decent water kit in there.

Project Started - Rad being fitted to the case.

First time watercooling and all parts have been recommended.

Shopping List: (ALL PARTS BOUGHT/ORDERED UPDATED SPECS!!!!!)

Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R MATX
Intel Q6600 Quad Core
OCZ 4GB 2x 2x1GB 9200 Flex RAM
XFX 8800GTX
Seagate 7200.11 500GB 32MB
Samsung DVD-RW SATA
Corsair 620W Modular PSU
Lian Li V300b

Water:

Laing DDC 10w (Alphacool Top + 1/2" Barbs)
EK Supreme CPU Acetal
EK FC8800GTX
D-TEC G1/4" 1/2" Barb x2
Yate LOON 120mm D12SL x2
1/2" Tube Clips x10
Feser One (Purple dye)
Repack-cooling Slot Black UV Res (no longer being used as it may conflict with the placement of the gfx card)
Masterkleer 7/16" Tubing 4'
AC Ryan 2x 12" Blue Cathodes
Laser Cutting Click for Design or Read On
MagiCool 240 UV Radiator (Only one that fits in the case same make as XSPC)

With a total cost of about £1,100 this should be an interesting build.
Trying to fit a double radiator in a normal case can sometimes be hard,
so this Small Form Factor case should be a challenge.

Be sure to watch this space for updates.

Thanks

Rad will go at the front of the case, means taking out the floppy bays, moding the side panels with the blanking plates, making a custom bracket so the rad fits at the front. will look something similar to the exising bracket but taller :)

Should be good build. but ocuk just put the case price up today and they only have one left i hope they get some more in :) if not i'll have to hunt around for one.

This sort of mod has been done before in germany that i could find. but the case looked a mess so i intend to do a better job
If the budget allows i'll be getting something like this cut into the side.

what you guys think?

As his gf
I dont think he should get that on the side as:
1) the budget doesnt stretch that far
2) I dont know if I like it why have chilled on the side???
 
My girlfriend... she knows how tight the budget is, but theres always room for a little more lol.

im struggling for ideas. i really want something cut into the side to show off the fact that its water cooled (it'll show the gfx block with the UV water inside it)

Ideas???

whats wrong with my graphics? there only ideas at present so theres no point in doing them really decent as they might change.

trying to think of pictures that might look good here.. cant think of any. possibly a drop of water? i dont know. maybe i should start a new thread with Panel Ideas?

i dont think i like the v350b as much as i like the 300. yeah its less modding and they've fixed the origional problems with the 300 but then if i wanted easyness i'd have chosen another case or air cooling.

by the time january comes around i expect that my build wont change that much if at all tbh, happy with the parts ive chosen and i think i'll stick with it.

each to their own i say. i think the v350 looks a bit like a big square block of aluminum. just my 2p

As with the panel i think i'll do something to do with h2o and ambient. Watch this space for updates around the time.
