Okay so most of you will know i had to put a hold on my previous project due to me losing my job.

i had then sold all my gear to pay some bills for the time i was without any income. now im back working again it calls for a new project.

i think most of you will know its a Lian Li Case with some pretty decent watercooling in there.

i chose the name because its the opposite of what i would usually do with projects but i have a mac mini at the moment and quite like the silver/white sleek look.

i'll leave it at that for now and let you try and guess what i'll be doing.

Budget is around 1.8-2.0K
its now going to be I7 (since i found a nice board)
it IS going to have a 4870x2

the case at the moment is being bought which will then be ripped apart and and have the internals powdercoated and a few light mods to accomodate my rads.

thats all for now. keep an eye out for any updates.

Update:

Case, Mods and Powder ordered. should be going out to powder monday / tuesday.

the case is a Lian Li PC-A70a (silver) but will be coming out a totally different colour. both the insides and out are being coated but the colours i'll leave that as a surprise.

im currently waiting on some more money coming in with which i'll be buying the Feser Quad & Dual rad to go into the case along with all the other watercooling parts.

after that i'll be looking at about the 2nd week in march to get the rest of my gear so should be finished by the end of march i would have thought.

i'll keep the updates coming once i have them.

The board cpu and ram all work fine. waiting on the PSU and HDD coming today so i can get my 4870x2 in there aswell and get some testing done on that :D

my case is on its way to the powder company so should have it back within a week or so.
