Nice paintjob! That makes it look so much better. I had no idea Lian Li even made one of those, looks nice.

thanks BlueAqua!
yeah, i found those in ppcs while i was getting acquainted with their huge (and tempting) inventory. i've been looking for something like it for quite sometime. :)
Gotta love your patience with the camera! :bows:
Great job also! Why do you needs those 'microcool chip protector rubbers' for?
I like the paintwork bianco, very nice!
Looks like it's coming along nicely :up:
thanks Jor3lBR!
you can't imagine how hard i work on getting the cam steady with my damn shaky hands for those shots that i can't use a tripod. hhaha. your compliment makes it all worth it. :D
the microcool chip rubbers are for the chipsets. i put it on the microchip area before i mount the waterblock on the motherboard's northbridge and southbridge. prevents the accidental chipping of the chips from uneven pressure from the heatsink/waterblock above it.

thanks twwen2!
i was actually aiming for a 2-tone. black on the outer shell... red on the inner compartment. eventually decided to go with all black:
1, must finish painting immediately because my wife will be working from home as well, since she's on the final phase of her trimester (one more month and i've got a son to play with! haha)
2, the red inside the compartment would be too overwhelming! haha.
i'm a bit confused with the Lili Expansion box...the heat from the hard drives is sucked & then blown to the inside of the case?
looking good :up:
thanks bro. i really love the red Dominator fan mod & awesome sleeving on EVERYTHING hehehe
Wow so much attention to everything
This is one A+ build.
I admire your patience for sleeving everything.
Loving the pic :)
post pics later...?????! some of us can't wait that long! haha
it was a pretty hectic last week. my wife's checkup, my mother-in-law was in town, my bday mini-celebration, the singapore f1, my sister flying back to manila for holiday, and best of all... getting some work done on the project. :D
finally got to upload the pics and have the project log updated:
