pase?

I still say do it internally, that case is lovely. Don't go spoiing it with an mdf lump underneath it.

by the way the swiftech mcw30 definitely definitely fits the dfi expert with 2 cards in sli. Did it myself last week.

You could try to find an old disused shuttle case (Chris1712 has one) and put all the stuff in there! Would look ace.

i think he may have meant the phase change kits that u can get, you are able to get a lian li kit for them.

Yeh i ment the lian li metal shells that the phase units come in. Can i get just the shell on it own

I don't think you can get a shell on its own.

The Lian Li kits for the Machs attach to the existing frame of the Mach itself via some rails.

If you could build yourself a simple frame then you'd be able to mount it pretty easily I should think.

yeh i got a old case lieing around can just chop it up and id bolt the kit to it with some black bolts just need to get one of the shells

Seen one on auction site going for £250 for the whole phase kit but dont want it all just want the shell

Theres a fella on here Philstanbridge and he can make rad boxes out of Lian Li cases if you ask him maybe he could do you a quote

Heres a sample pic

iirc kinggost has a v1000 so all this stuff would look a bit daft..

Just try to buy someone's knackered old shuttle off of them. I'm sure there are a few with buggered motherboards flying about. It'd be class if you did it.
