Saved myself £50 :)

Day03 · 3 May 2006 at 22:53

I saved myself £50 by making a side window in my Lian LI V1000. I can't believe how expensive are all the accessories for the Lian Li. Here is a pic of how it turned out, perfectly straight and smooth edges, used rivets instead of glue or sticky tape. Need to work on the inside of the case a bit more now, planning some UV stuff.

Looking good sir! Nice and clean lines.

Waw, nice work there. Well done mate.

What did you use? (If a dremel what bit)

Day03 · 3 May 2006 at 23:35

I've used an electric jigsaw with a metal cutting blade and a dremel just to smooth and polish ot the sharp edges. The aluminium is 2mm thick and it's too much to cut with a dremel.

That looks great and neat! It looks like the real clear side panel to me :eek:

Looks like you did a good job there!

Although windows are not my style at all, the rivets make it look ok; maybe a little to much going on but I think would be better in person. Still not to my taste.

Really nice,

Looks great, very well done.

Rivets > rubber seal stuff

look very well done.

although I fail to see the point of having part of the window to show of the 5.25" drive bays :confused:

Don't use rubber seal as that would spoil it. You have done a good job there.

Very nice, any chance of finding some of those nice little hex screws/bolts would finish it off better than the rivits

Dont think this webby would be classed as a competitor - http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/
