Project: Watercooled LL A05B

YES! You like answered a bajillion technical questions I've been trying to work out with just two pictures! 1. How exactly does a triple rad affect the top panel and upper 5.25 bay - ANSWERED! 2. Could you mod the lost IO shield into the front panel - ANSWERED (athough I was thinking moving the flippy door onto the front panel, not just install the inner IO ports to a side vent - GENIUS).

:clap:

EDIT: Did you just relocate the IO ports from the top or is that a special IO breakout? I don't remember the A05BN having a fireware port actually installed, even though the flippy door had it labeled so.

oh my I'm gonna steal your idea for mounting the I/O plate when I do my build!!!

next level of my mini pc :

i950

Where you mounting the 360 and with what size fans?

i 'll mount the triple rad in the same place, it fit perfectly match the swiftech one :D same dimensions
motherboard is small so i can put a bigger rad ( the feser one ) fans are same Yateloon 120x120x20 ;)

Are you gonna cool i7 and GTX with this Feser 360 or are you gonna keep the small rads as well?

Great work so far! I love to see WC in small cases. Anybody can build a WC setup into a cavernous monster case like the TJ07, but this takes real planning and measuring and re-working. It is a much bigger challenge, and it takes a lot longer to build a WC setup in a smaller case than a big one, I can tell you from experience.

I can't wait to see if you get that Feser 360 to fit in the top of that case. I don't see how it will fit, but if you say it can, well, I still don't believe it. :shrug: So please give us some update pics, soon?

noobzed I hate you.......in a good way :p :p :D jeejeje

Nice motherboard dude......congratulations :D

I want to see you rig with all stuff!!!!!

any news here?

hey, any news? did you finish this project?

YEY!!! UPDATE !!! Are you still gonna use that 120.1 rad with that new 120.3?

i'll use one feser 120.1 and one feser 120.3 ( 360 if you like )

probably 'll take one single pcb gts295 with koolance wblock ;) not sure but I like the dsigne of the koolance block

tomorow take some pics of the 360 seated, it fit and there still room for doing many things in this case ;)

great update! I'm looking forward to see that huge rad installed in your case.

;) no problem my friend you 'll be surprised and not only you i think :D

Love the A05! Very interesting to see what you do with it! :)

http://free0.hiboox.com/images/3709/...fbe6d818b2.jpg

Very nice! :) Clean and tidy installation I have to say. I've seen few A05s with 120.3 rads and this is the best looking one!
So that is i7 950 and GTX 260 with Gene's NB in the loop? What temps do you get? Idle/load for cpu/gpu/nb? Are you gonna change it to GTX295?
