Planning a lian li cube 343b

[RADCOM]

The mods I've seen here are so great I've bitten the bullet and ordered one :D I want to run two loops one for 8800GTX SLI and the other for Northbridge, southbridge, CPU and mosfets which loop should I add the PA120.3 to. (other rad is a PA120.2)
I also have a question re windowing the sides. Is it okay to just cut out the desired shape and rivet in 3mm perspex. The last window I had that wasn't premade was an Oval window with the rubbery surround bit back in 2000:rofl:
mjassbong and peebee's great ideas will be incorporated but is there a resevoir that can run two loops and is this a good idea anyway?

Right 1st update: case has gone to my work colleague to remove all the rivets and replace with screws and nuts. Inside will also be painted black and anodised.

Nearly ready to Start..."The case is altered" (pub in Ealing) here's some of the choice bitz

I hope this turns out well. Cube cases are really cool.

:off: I like your rug :)

[peebee]

subscribed! :up:

rug = Bobtail? :D

ok well, a lot of months ago, when you started your plans.
Hoping that your chief engineer will be back soon to get the stuff started ;)

[peebee]

Hey this is getting boring in here! Where are the actions in your plans?

Come on dude! Go for it! :cool:

Congrats! :) That case is going to look beautiful! ;)

I'm also doing a 343B build but am keeping the case pretty much stock, except for the 1080 rad mod and windowed side panels done by Performance-PCs. Looking forward to seeing your build! :yepp:

[matttehman]

Subbed! I recently purchased a MM ascension and am working on new ideas for the build. I ordered my case CYO and had it anodized. So it has that brushed appearance, though I hear lili's have a much nicer finish. It will be interesting to see what yours looks like after the anodizing is complete.

And what is this steel reinforced 1/2" tubing? :confused: :eek:

Sounds extreme! :up:

You are a braver man then I, I could not hack into such beauty.

Hehehehe Funnily enough the project was just put back on "live"......... it's been an extremely busy time for one of the UK's busiest sites but I can relax a little now:cool:. Some new parts as listed In my Sig too........
I have everything that is going into it; I just need some get up and go and time. I'm seeing My Mech Eng this weekend for some radiator luv. I'll need some help so be prepared for a barrage of questions:up:
Oh and we got a new rug too :)

[Spankyfart]

So Shazza bought your Polar bear rug then, always knew she hated Polar bears.

Hehehe It was sheepskin honest guv. I wore out a corner much to the disdain of her who must be obeyed.

To say this build is going slowly is and understatement but I suffer from "Naekuhism":ROTF:
This arrived yesterday ( thanks Nils) I struggled to see the subtle differences with other braiding at first, after putting it under the microscope I am happy now. Pity the £ against the euro is in such a bad state :( I commence operation room tidy today then the build can continue.

[jadeskye]

ha looks like you're suffering from the same problem as me RADCOM. my 343b has been in it's box for nearly a year now XD

[RADCOM]

Right I'm really going to build it now...my Naekuhism ( the inability to resist constant revision of a build to include newer and better technology before the build has been finished ) has been cured, I even have some Koolance parts for the 1st time ever :)
