[Project] ||| Phantom ||| in a LL PC-P80

Hi all! :D

So as you see in the title, I'll be doing a rev.1 of my watercooling system. I chose the LL PC-P80 because of its gorgeous size and design.

I'll obviously be modding this case, as it has a lot of possibilities. ;)

I have access to a laser cutter and engraver, so I would like to do a nice design for the side panel, but no ideas as for now! :(


Computer hardware:
> ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution
> i7 920 @ 4GHz
> Corsair 12Gb 1600MHz CL8
> EVGA (obviously! :D:yepp: ) GTX 285 (later an SLI)
> Be Quiet DPP 1200W
> 3 HDD


Watercooling equipment:
> 2x Swiftech MCP-350 w/ Ek topv v2
> 2x TC PA120.3
> EK Supreme plexi CPU block
> EK FC-GTX285 plexi GPU blocks
> TFC red, purple, black and green cooling fluid :D (still don't know which one I'ma gonna use :rofl:)
> TFC 10/13 Clear non-UV and white hose
> Koolance 10/13 fittings
> Some Tacens Ventus 120

Don't know how it happened, but the TC isn't straight! :eek: I measured like 10 times, and it was all OK, but only after the cut (of course, the action had to be done), I realized the error. Anyway, you don't see it from the side ;)

Thanks for reading! :)

Look around this category in some topics, there are many cases with plexiglass sidepanels ;) YOu will see many designs and get the idea.

Also, wish you best in working :)

HelloOo D0BR0 :D
Your black connectors are on the way ;)

Haha lol rob!!!! :D :D Thanks

And thank you too VANO :up:
I'll edit my first post and add more info. :D

Do you guys know the exact dimensions of a LL's P80 side panel?

I need this info to design the engravings on the side panel.
Thanks:up:

(H)550mm x (W)565mm ;)

In my experience your gonna want to keep 1.5" away from the edges of the panel as to avoid issues with the panel going on or off and such.

I have 1" on permafrost and the door is a trick to get on and off ;)

Okay thanks guys :up:

Yeah I saw that it's quite a piece of art your door SNiiPE!! :clap:

Now that I know the dimensions, I'm gonna try and design something.
SNiiPE > Which program did you use to design your panel? I was thinking of doing it in CorelDRAW, as it is the system installed on the laser's computer. ;)

I created .dxf drawing files using solidworks 8

Oki :up:
I'll have to do it anyway in Corel I think. After it might be weird to move it to Corel (if I do it with solidworks 8)... :shrug:

So here's my first design of the side panel. I'll post more maybe tomorrow :up: In red it's the engraving. ;)

Hi all, I'm back after a long period of absence on XS! Maybe some of you passed here, when there was nothing.... But now there has been quite a lot of work so.... Go post 1! :D

DOBRO hello, this is a great project that you we are there.
I want to see more ... :up:

Haha mais lol hitachi :lol: J'savais pas que t'étais aussi sur XS :D
Okay then, thanks! You've already seen this on Nokytech! So nothing new for you :)
More pics comming maybe tomorrow....

on est tous sur Xs je pense :)

Nice to see you here guy :)

Good luck for the next step :)

Ps : Copy/paste From Polish' Forum is bad :rolleyes:

heya dobro! nice to hear from you again! what're your next plans? it'd be nice to see whole rig together with all the stuff on it :)

Hi all again :)

Yeah well, I see that there's a lot of people that I already know that are on XS! :D

n3xT : Well yeah i forgot one sentence from polish, in fact, I copied all my log from ppc.pl.

kvadzio : I haven't got all the components yet, but in a week, I hope everything will be in place! :up: My other plans are the following. Finish black painting, finish painting of all accessories, mounting the liquid cooling components in the case, mounting the blocks on the mobo, and powering everything up! Oh yeah... and sleeving the whole PSU... That's gonna take quite a while I think, but I'm planning some white sleeving, because all black won't follow my B&W theme ;)

Great job on the case, well done.....will def keep an eye on this one :clap:

Very nice mate.

its coming along really great man, I'm impressed :up:

about your PM (my internet cut out before I could respond before) - the shroud on the pa120.3 in my build is just a standard thermochill shroud, you can buy it at sidewinder computers :D

Okay thanks SNiiPE for your reply and thank you all for your nice comments! It motivates me to continue, but now it rains and it's the night here in Europe, so tomorrow I hope that I'll finish painting the case! I'll let you know ;)

haha yeah I am in paris ATM so I know the rain :(

I thought you might be in europe - you can probably pick up that thermochill shroud straight from the uk @ thermochill direct:up:

What areyou doing in Paris??? :D Great city!! I've been there like 2-3 times, fabulous!
Anyway, what's the web page what you're talking about? A TC retailer? I'm actually making an order with another guy on a polish forum on performance-PCs. You got a lot of stuff there! Quite impressive, nothing of these in Europe! I was thinking of taking Koolance blocks for ma P6T6 WS Revo. What do you think about them? And about Koolance? I've only fittings from them, never had a block, but I heard that the GPU blocks are very performant. Any advices?
Thanks ;)

Love your rad placement, very cool.

Nice job! :up: The white theme looks awesome.
