Horizontal Lian Li 343b

[Matias23]

Hi
This is my new case.
My inspiration was Virtualrain's Lian Li 343b, im sure everybody remember this great thread.

[Big_Daddy]

I loved Project Rainmaker so much, I designed my case after his. Course, I added a few things that he couldn't modding the Lian Li. Namely room for 3 120.3 rads in the front (either vertically, or horizontally) And room for one in the back, if you were so inclined. Also, the front can be rotated 180* if you want the drives on top.

Good luck on modding your 343b. Hope it comes out nice. Oh, and you can put the 120.2 on top. I believe they make a replacement panel for 120.2's.

edit: hahhaha removed pictures, darn you R3.

[Matias23]

thanks i know i can put rad on the top but dont want to do that, coz at the end there will be a window. HDD case is from my old case TJ07 i will give to my sister:D
Im waiting for more hardewere like (foxconn 790i, intel E8600, new NVIDIA card hope will ROCK:banana3: if not will get Foxconn BlackOps and
Ati 2x 4870x2 or something else.
I want also 10 pci mobo tray but dont know whete to get it from.

[BlazinTiger]

if i remember correctly, only lian li had 10 pci slot cases, but i dont think there were mobo trays, they were part of the case

[Matias23]

Thermaltake does them as well but dont know where to get them from

[Matias23]

Update soon when new stuff will come

[Matias23]

Me too!!!

I know wht will go into case

1: Silverstone DA1200
2: 2GB Super Talent 1800Mhz
3: EK Supereme
4: 2x 150GB WD Raptor Raid0
5: 2x PA 120.3
6: 2x Laing Ultra Petras Top

Rest will come soon i hope so till then i have to pacient it's not easy.

[septim]

The boards are borked until Fugger can fix them. Try uploading images to an external site like Imageshack, then you can post them here.

[HaCKs]

Your fingers are going to be VERY numb when you're done with all that sleeving, I am going through it right now on my build.

[RADCOM]

suscribed, this looks like it's going to be a stunner!

[Matias23]

Update:

I have started cutting back panel its not that easy as i would imagine.

and that how it looks half naked hehe

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6042676800x600.jpg

this is whats left
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6042690800x600.jpg

HDD Drive Cases are from my Silverstone TJ07 will find space in the bottom but have to cut little piece off coz they need to slide to a side to take them out from the case.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6042643800x600.jpg
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6042650800x600.jpg
Like this
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6032589800x600.jpg

I will cut the rest of the back and then will start to mount mobo tray.
so more update soon.

[Mankz_91]

Slighty off topic, but where in Surrey are you from?

[Matias23]

horley

[Serpentarius]

placing the mobo on top horizontally .. but wouldnt the heated air goes up?
but then accumulated heat air on the mobo? wont it affect your temps?

[Matias23]

no coz there will be 6 fans in the front on thermochills blowing in and 6 fans taking air out so there will be a nice circulation of air inside.

[septim]

proper ventilation should take care of warm air inside. nice updated.
how would you deal with wiring, maybe you'd do it like virtualrain's another shelf to hide the wires...

[Matias23]

No i will try to cut all the cables to a minimum lenght so there will no need to hide cables :D same with SATA cables i recon 20-30 cm will be more than enough.

I managed to cut all unneeded back panel but i tell U this is hard work besides my dremel overheat every 4 min of use so i had to wait till gets cold again but success.:)
I use a very fine file to get rid off sharp edges and now its like it meant to be.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6052980800x600.jpg

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6063019800x600.jpg

that is it for today more soon when new parts will commin, hope monday.

[RockfordFosgate]

I dont like horitontal cases but your project is looking good.

Keep going ;)

[Matias23]

With a good ventilation should be no problem.
i think some cases have a problem with rad and fan placing coz if u want to have a low water temps should never push out air from inside case just push in, allways u have colder air outside case than inside.
So in my opinion is better this way and have a good fans to take a warm air suck outside.

[Scubar]

Looking good so far, will be interested to see how this comes along.

PS where abouts in Surrey are you ?

[Matias23]

Horley near Gattwick

[septim]

nice. i like updates...

(2 rd30s could fit in there nicely, hehehe)

[Matias23]

Hi update again today a nice parcel has arrived from Performance PC and i can say im happy coz i can start doing my case again.

Thask it for now

[disruptfam]

very nice project and pics :)

is that the danger den fillport acetal?

[Matias23]

Yes is acetal, is really nice.
I hope that water coming out from radiator will not comes out through fill port some how.
So just under DD acetal T fitting will be a laing ultra pump going to EK Supreme and then back into radiator so it will be v. very short loop. so there will be no loose any of flow.
I just ordered Bitspower compression fittings they will go onto EK Supreme
This looks awesome on EK block

[disruptfam]

Update again

So i have my back panel, and now i can conitnue my project
Some essential tools (priceless)
I decided to go with normal mobo tray insted of 10 PCI coz it looks better, but 10 PCI i would have 3 slots unused and empty space, so no more 10 pci mobo untill we can buy such motherboard

Tomorrow i will cut out holes for PSU and fans in bottom compartement.
More update soon

[Pedalmonkey]

Very nice looking, you could begin to rival Virulants build with this if the quality continues.

[septim]

question, why did you put outside those filters, from the fan orientation (exhausting from in to outside), so filters should be inside if ever...
just use some grill out side to minimize air restriction...

[Matias23]

Fan filters are just for now after when this all will be powdercoat i will put normal fan grills to cover holes.

[Anemic]

Looks really awsome and I WANT MORE PICS!! Hurry up building ; )

[Matias23]

Be patient

[Anemic]

Im trying the best I can but it looks so nice :D

[Matias23]

Hi
This is how it looks bottom panel with cut out holes for HDD ventilation.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6123183800x600.jpg

And this is how i can unscrue a HDD cage from main chassis to get drives out.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6123185800x600.jpg
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6123191800x600.jpg

There will be another hole for PSU, but waiting for Silverstone PA 1200w to coome so i can mesure and cut out this properly. I dont want to just cut this out not beeing sure where exactly should mount this.

Mounting a mobo tray there was a gep between back panel and main frame like this

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6123195800x600.jpg

So i had to put another pice of aluminium to fill this gap like this

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6123197800x600.jpg

So after its done look like this not bad i think

More update soon i have to go to work :( so this will delay some future improovements, but only for few hours hehe :D.

[Matias23]

last few day have been trying how to mount pump and Tubing into my system.
Problem is i dont want a reservoir just T line so i can easy empty my system,
costs less and do not need much space.
Here is picture
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6143357_edited-1800x600.jpg
Is there enough space to fill fillport and not to have a water comming out through, wile im trying to fill this up.

And another thing i think i have to cut out a 1cm from fillport coz is a bit to tall and not fits inside the case.
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6143362_edited-1800x600.jpg

any ideas how to mount LAING DDC ultra with petras top?????

[disruptfam]

the blue green combo looks great :) i would do that.

nice work mate keep us updated.also nice pics what cam?

[septim]

nice updates. mount the pump with a universal stand, so you can orient it anyway you'd like.

[Matias23]

Camera

[NoobCake]

Dam looks awesome... I love the compression barbs..

are they 1/2" ID 3/4" OD ones? or are they the 3/8" ID 5/8" OD?

[disruptfam]

1/2" Id 3/4" Od

[septim]

nice camera... i would probably read up reviews for it before buying one. or choose the proven brand...

[Matias23]

Camera is great, i read tons of reviews before i bought it. still need to lern how to take great pictures, but have all the time, and i want ot buy a macro lens.

[Sparky]

That's what I want is a macro lens or at least one that I can focus closer than 1.75 feet away.

Nice pics!

[Matias23]

I was thinking more like this one
http://www.olympuscanada.com/cpg_section/lens/dea/products/lens/50_20M/index.asp

[manyga]

Nice build!!

Awesome!!

Regards!

[Matias23]

I figured pump orientation,

So pump outlet will go strait up into radiator through DD angle connector, and inlet will be horizontaly. So i can still put a fillport for easy bleeding, and filling insuficient coolant. Loop will be very short that is god coz there will be a lot of water pumped through system hoping for better results.

Update

Just small one today
i have my acrylic top, radiator mounting brackets and sunbeam fan port has come today.
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6193459_edited-1800x600.jpg

And small preview how pump will be hoocked up to this system along with t line.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P6193494_edited-1800x679.jpg

So this is just old top to show u how this will be mounted but at the end there will be petras top so this will be a bit better.

[virtualrain]

Hey Matias23... it's great to see another challenging horizontal mod of the 343 coming to successful fruition!

I like your approach. I'm keen to see the result.

I noticed that the QC on the Thermochill's is not great... I have one where the top tank is welded on at a slight angle so the outlets and inlets are not perpendicular to the radiator... which makes it PITA to align stuff like your fill port with the top of the case while the radiator is mounted vertically. I'm really disappointed with Thermochill QC.

Unfortunately, mounting the pumps like that is going to hurt water flow... outlet directly into a 90degree. It will also hurt air flow through the rad. That's why I went with the Alphacool tanks. Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of options. Perhaps orient the pump so the outlet of the rad feeds directly to the inlet of the pump and then your pump outlet is pointng directly downwards towards your mobo tray? It depends if you have the necessary clearance above for the pump body to the roof of the case.

The other (probably better) option is to run the pumps on their side so that the outlet is pointing directly into the rad inlet and the pump inlet is horizontal towards the middle of the case... both pumps inlets would be pointing right at each other this way but if you attach them to the rad inlets towards the outside of the case, you should have lots of clearance. LOL! :shrug:

If you haven't considered this already, one thing I would do next time, is to drill holes in the bottom of the case to access the rad bleed screws so I could use those for draining the loop without having to tear apart the loop and risk getting electronics wet. Just a thought.

Cheers!
-Chris.

I have a couple of new brackets coming out that might help you out. Petra's, sidewinder, and Performance-PC's sells the absolute bracket now and the new Absolute rev.2 and the new 3G racket will be out in about two weeks. Hope this helps and maybe gives you some different ideas.

10 pci mobos? are there even any? i must have missed smth...

That top one looks familiar.. Looks like something I suggested a little while ago. :) Now all I need to do is get rid of the 2 that I have, and get those.. <sigh>

[septim]

hmm new absolute bracket should also help give airflow to the under side of a ddc...

matias, poor ddc outlet may hurt performance. maybe you could try some other mounting orientation?

[Matias23]

Do You really think that this will hurt flow and performance that much??????????
Coz i was trying different pump orientation and only this one looks great and do not need much more space to mount. and i dont want a reservior!

[Matias23]

hi today i have being dooing some sleeving
PCI-E cable it very difficult but it looks just great

I don't think i'd ever have the patience to sleeve my own stuff, I get too anxious working on things. Awesome job so far!

[Matias23]

U just need a lot of time to do this, it takes about 1h to do PCI-E and i dont konw how long will take to do Mobo 24 PSU cable hehe.

[Jowy Atreides]

This thread is pure custom build :banana::banana::banana::banana: heaven so far,
Awesome work and design! :)

i did the sleeving on all my psu molex and sata connectors, started to do the 24pin , took me an hour to get 3 of the pins out so i put them back in for now.. So i know exactly what you mean about how much time it takes..

im probably going to get a new psu soon so im certainly not going to do the 24pin twice now that i know how time consuming it is

Well I do listen to customer feedback!! I had been kicking around the idea but ya reading all the forums I definetly saw a need for the horizontal bracket.

Matias23 the Absolute bracket does give it more airflow and keep the pump a bit cooler. I have it mounted over a fan and the airflow helps out alot.

@Matias23...

I like that EK Supreme... Dumping my FuZion v2 for the EK Supreme myself... Should have it next Tuesday...

What pump are you planning on using for it???

Laing Ultra petra's top.

[disruptfam]

nice color combo!! :)

[Matias23]

I hope one pump will be enough if not i will remove internal plate to have more flow.
I run martins flow estimator and said that flow is excellent so we will see.

Today some more sleeving but this time power switch cable, HDD LED, front USB and front panel cables.

First need to take off original sleeving coz is to thick and is gray looks bad

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P7033783800x600.jpg

[leo_bsb]

what size is that BP fittings? 5/8 or 3/4 OD?

[Extigy]

you are braiding mad!!!

I am just going to put sleeving over the grey insulation on power lights and front usb thingy ma jig ;)

Nice job tho, keep it up!

[Arni]

Nice pics :)
btw Polakko ? ;)

[Sparky]

Need more pressure on that EK Supreme.... If not, your temps won't be that good...

I'm going to run (2) DDC's in series, on my CPU only loop. One with XSPC Reservoir Top and the other with XSPC regular acrylic top...

I think for a CPU only loop one should be just fine. A DDC with Petra's top handled a storm well so I don't see why it shouldn't handle the supreme.

[skinnee]

I've gotta do a Lian-Li 343B build next, this thread is really making me want that case! :up:

[MomijiTMO]

Yummy. Things are moving on nicely. I hope the sleeving doesn't drive you insane ;)

[Matias23]

No not at all, i like it i could do that all day.
It looks so different from stock sleeving im happy with results, so im enjoying this.

Anyone for sleeving ??????????????

[Sparky]

My past experience with sleeving wasn't so great. The sleeving kit I got has mismatched heatshrink and sleeving, the heatshrink is one size too big so it doesn't fit right :(

So maybe today evening i can repply to this post from new machine.
:D:D:D:D:D:D

more update to follow

[disruptfam]

fantastic work mate!!!!

love the sleeving super clean job!

[Mankz_91]

Some lessons in sleeving can really be taken from this thread!

[OT] - Where are you located in Surrey? I'm just outside of Weybridge.

[cool_dude]

looks really good mate - got to say I had a fairly similiar idea and looks like I may proceed with the idea because I wasn't sure how it'd look but it sure does look good :D

What size sleeving are you using for the diffrent stuff? (i.e: what for molex, what for sata cables etc) (in mm)

@ mankz, hes said at least twice where he is located! :p

[Pellepel]

insane sleeving :D looks awsome.

[manyga]

AMAZING Sleeving bro!!!

Very good clean work!!

Cheers!

[Okda]

i like the custom 24pin very much

awesome work

[rafwlkp]

Any updates m8 ? :confused:
I can't wait anymore :banana:

[HaCKs]

I don't know how I have never noticed this tread before!

+1 for same mobo as me
+1 for same PSU as me
+1 for very very impressive sleeving.
+1 for very good taste

This has now become my favorite project in progress, I wish you lived in southern California so I could take sleeving lessons from you

[just a noob]

wow, very nice work on the sleeving, now i have something else to do this summer :D edit: what gauge wire do you use, and what connectiors for making the wires/connectors

[Matias23]

Hi i have been away for a few days so no update but now im back so small update is comming

I have put my system together and is fully working.

This is how pump is mounted and a small T-line is not to small to bleed but is difficult to fill in.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P7043872Medium.jpg

And my favorite PSU looks like a monster.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P7043879Medium.jpg

And a few photos of system build

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P7053896Medium.jpg

More update to come soon and next tuesday case is going to powdercoaters for 30GBP i think that is cheap as chips.
Is going to be semi gloss
I cant wait to see results.

[Logos]

really, really nice build :clap:

right angle connection between the pump and the rad must be very restrictive though...

[CCC]

that is a really cool way to setup the pump/tubing.. just curious if you have run water through it to see how much, if any, the right angle effects the flow..

I really like it though as its very neat and tidy, takes up alot less room than using a res..

CCC

[eXa]

Wow that is really neat and short tubing.

@Mcoffey
As long as he fills the system(will be abit of a hassle) before he starts it, it wont be much of a problem. And when the system is fully bled it wont matter at all.

[Sparky]

Well there is water going to be coming back along the return, so it isn't like the pump is having to "suck" the water through to feed itself. Plus, there is that short T as well... Is it really going to put that much more stress on it?

[Extigy]

considering there is one component in each loop? so long as the pump isnt starved and he doesn't run into any relaibility problems, the flow will be more than adequate. The powdercoating for mine was very reasonable (about same price). Is pretty standard really, i think we are used to seeing computer retailers offering powerdercoating at double/tripple the price! so think we are getting a cheap deal, when it is them that are overpricing!

[Dangals]

Very impressive work there Matias23.... I really like what you did with the sleeving.

Can't wait to see some more pics once you get that case painted!!

[septim]

this is probably better mounting for his pump, rather than what he previously had in mind.
i also don't know about having the pump suckin for feed, like sparky said, in a closed loop, water flow is supposed to be continuous right? ...

filling up loop: couldn't you add another barb to that fillport and add some extra length tubing?

[Matias23]

System is all blead and running.
CPU Temps are 29-32 at idle not tested at stress yet
GPU Temps are 25-28 at idle not tested at stress yet

[manyga]

Ambient temp?&#191;&#191;?

Nice build! Very very clean!

[eXa]

Oh yes it will if the pump has to fight up hill for it's feed. It's not exactly, but close to the same thing as running the pump upside down, or inlet pointing down to the flow, which by Laings standard is a no no. And it's hard to imagine you could fill that loop without short bursts where the pump wouldn't run dry.

Like I said, I really appreciate the imagination and original thought it took to come up with the idea. It's just I'd worry about the strain on the pumps.

I hope I'm wrong, just something to consider.

andyc

I dont think so. Upside down u got gravity pulling on the impeller itself. But this is a closed loop, so it wont have to suck water.

[Matias23]

Update

My PA120.3 with fans installed

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8064935Medium.jpg

This pumps look so good with BP fittings

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8074958Medium.jpg

So after some advise from U XS users i decided to change idea of pump mounting and i come up with this.

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8074972Medium.jpg

This little support the pump and holds everything together

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8074974Medium.jpg

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8074975Medium.jpg

Also the case was de assembeled and went to powdercoaters so in 2 days i hope will be finished

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8074964Medium.jpg

So soon more update

[disruptfam]

This will be powdercoated as well so it should look nice with case internals.

More update soon

[0xdeadbeef]

Very nice pump stands! Drill a ~50 mm hole in the middle just under the pump for better ventilation. These pumps can get pretty hot.

[Jtrain43791]

This is gonna be one of those really good builds, love how the pump/res turned out, also who makes that cable sleeving it looks amazing!

[majestik]

Did you use existing temperature probes that came with BigNG or did you buy specific "water probes" that already have G1/4 fittings?

[HaCKs]

I LOVE the pump mount! I am going to be building something similar to that to hold an EK res.

This is one of my favorite builds right now.

[Matias23]

Very nice pump stands! Drill a ~50 mm hole in the middle just under the pump for better ventilation. These pumps can get pretty hot.

I think i dont need a hole coz rad fans blowing strait onto the pump, and between pump and bracket are 2 rubber washers so there is a space in between so air can go thrugh.


This is gonna be one of those really good builds, love how the pump/res turned out, also who makes that cable sleeving it looks amazing!

I dont know who makes it but i buy them from CPC Fernell in Preston UK
They are nice and quite thick so they cover wires niceally


Did you use existing temperature probes that came with BigNG or did you buy specific "water probes" that already have G1/4 fittings?

I didint install BigNG probes Yet but will do that today.
And yes a bought BP water probes they are great and looks amazing

Thanks for comments.

I have ordered a new one so more update soon

[manyga]

Very good powder coat! And Nice loop colour!!

POWDER COAT...FTW!!

[MomijiTMO]

MDPC it shall go.

[Jtrain43791]

i agree its MDPC worthy

[disruptfam]

did you have to protect your holes? when it got powder coated

that orange is very dissapointing tbh

[Uppy]

hello Matias23
as you fill the reservoir?

[Matias23]

did you have to protect your holes? when it got powder coated

that orange is very dissapointing tbh

Got case from powdercoaters yesterday and i was impresed, for me its perfect.

Yes Orange is little dissapointing but will buy one more orange dye and i hope this will boost the colour


hello Matias23
as you fill the reservoir?

Like this

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/maciejodelga/P8145139Medium.jpg

[manyga]

And then? How you do for quit fill tube?

[Matias23]

i have a fillport to go on yhe top so i can close the loop, tube is long just to fill loop and then i will cut it.

[cobra_kai]

Those pumps look great. Are there any performance numbers for the pump like that vs. the XSPC top?

[Matias23]

Everything U can find here.
http://www.martinsliquidlab.com/DDC32PumpTopTesting.html

[leo_bsb]

I had an internal leak in my DDC and after a bath of isopropyl alchool it started to work again.
Just leave in in open air to let the alchool dry and try it later

[Matias23]

I got my new pump today and i have managed to finish my case. Will post some picures tomorrow.

Well I do. It's almost done. :D

[Uppy]

wow :eek: thats my Dream Case i like it

[drbhatti]

looking very very good - im beginning to think i need to do something to color my internals black too!

[Matias23]

Thanks for comment I will try to take better pictures later on.

[cobra_kai]

Wow very clean loops- you use very little tubing! Looks great

[Matias23]

there is only 85cm of tubing for 2 loops

[Rise]

are you planning on leaving the case open? or will you be putting panels to cover it?

[OdinEidolon]

really that is an incredible mod!. you completely reworked out the case! Good job!

[illidan]

so beautifull!!

[Matias23]

are you planning on leaving the case open? or will you be putting panels to cover it?

The case will be closed, I will have all panels back.

Thanks for comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tile]

I like it. The waterloops setup is the cleanest I saw here.

[*Alex*]

wow dude that is awsome and so clean :up: love it :clap:

[Mick64]

What a craftsman! :clap: Fantastic attention to detail! :up:

[Rise]

man I keep looking at this build... I love the rad/res/pump setup :) looks badass!

[just a noob]

I like the fact that the black sleeved cables blend in with the rest of the case, I think that gives it an even cleaner look, great job

[Pellepel]

nice and clean good job :up:

[twwen2]

Wow looks sweet! I'm not sure what i think of the orange(?) fluid, but the case and hardware sure is impressive!

Good job :cool:

[aspire.comptech]

Would be perfect if the orange loop was also green.

Are you going to do something with the front of the case where the rads are?

[Matias23]

I might change to green or yellow but for now i will keep orange

[.Logic]

Fantastic work :up: Looks stunning.

Personally, I like the orange (the green is a bit of a let down if anything, not 'acid' enough in my opinion)

If there is just one thing I can critique, it would have to be the use of the AC ryan fans. They are just too bright for this build and (again, in my opinion) it would look much better with some black yate loons, especially considering all the time you have spent sleeving ALL of the cables black. Apart from the that, a very nice build.

MY FAVOURITE ON XS :clap:

[Matias23]

Thanks for comment
I was thinking about NANOXIA fans they look so great but for now i will stick with AC ryan fans.

Matias, how did the bleeding go with your coolplex/ek reservoir? I've done bleeding with same combo but with the 100 mm res tube. Thinking of going to 60 mm tube like yours.

Matias23 you have done yourself proud, the man who put the "S" in sleeving:up: We have very similar components but you have modded your case more. I haven't finished mine but it pales into significance with what you've done. Where did you get the BP flow sensors? I need more stuff lol Excellent temps, is your house cold or do you live on the Downs lol
