Project - Blueboy - Watercooled Lian Li v2000

when you say blue fan, do you mean blue led fan? if so, I imagine it would be barely visible behind the vented plate

JeffyB · 17 Aug 2010 at 19:20

Yeah the same fans as i have already used. I'd imagine that it would be as visible as the one thats already in the bottom of the front of the case

TheCenturion · 17 Aug 2010 at 19:29

In which case, yes I'd get the bezel with the fan, extra cooling, looks nicer that that single bezel and makes use of three front slots

Now what could be done with the other two?

JeffyB · 17 Aug 2010 at 19:51

I'd probably just use the vented bezels on the remaining slots.

TheCenturion · 17 Aug 2010 at 20:08

Yeah go for it, it'd add a touch of wonder to the case

madindehead · 17 Aug 2010 at 20:49

I would also add the fan mate. Maybe bezels in the other two if you don't have plans for those slots. Would look a LOT nicer. Might steal this idea for my case too

JeffyB · 17 Aug 2010 at 22:42

I can't think of anything else i would use the other bays for. I think i'll get the fan bay and put vented bezels on the remaining bays, thanks guys

Sounds good mate

Look forward to it

I wish I could find out what it would look like in my case

haha.

JeffyB · 17 Aug 2010 at 23:26

Found this, looks like it'll neaten up my hard drives and add the fan bay all in one

Nice one. That would be ace! Wonder if you can clean off the Lian Li icon

It's a bit insane how many case accessories Lian Li make!

JeffyB · 18 Aug 2010 at 00:12

There are loads, Lian Li keep the same dimensions and fittings for a lot of the areas on thier cases so all the accesories fit on many different cases. It's probably the most comprehensive amount of accesories made by any manufacturer.

TheCenturion · 18 Aug 2010 at 00:21

I LOVE Lian Li

It's a nice way to support their cases really. Wish more manufacturers did it! The 5.25" bezels and bits will at least fit in any case which is good

The combination front fan and hdd cage is only a few quid more than the fan bay so i think thats the way to go. Going to look into removing the lian li logo from it, i think it's just stuck on anyway and should come off easily.

PaulyD · 18 Aug 2010 at 11:40

Yep its just stuck on so should come off easily enough mate - used one in my build, works really well

JeffyB · 18 Aug 2010 at 13:50

PaulyD did you make your psu plate yourself? I still need to make one as i also had to flip the psu on it's side to fit my rad in. I may use some of the spare meshed steel i'm going to use for my rad cutout area if its strong enough.

rjk · 19 Aug 2010 at 00:12

you can get a plain mesh front hdd bay [without the lian li logo] and no flat spot where it sits

im sure i saw it somewhere

edit, my bad looks like they dont do it anymore

JeffyB · 19 Aug 2010 at 01:28

I saw that aswell but i think your right that it's not made anymore

madindehead · 19 Aug 2010 at 01:57

I noticed, that Coolermaster have something similar too

Must admit, the Lian Li one does look a lot sleaker

TheCenturion · 19 Aug 2010 at 11:11

that coolermaster thing looks exactly that: a coolermaster. That's the kind of brand name I'd expect for a freezer or something. Lo and behold, their products look like fridges.
