Awww... you should have sawed off the video card rather than the beautiful case :p:
Don't you hate it when stuff is made for the lowest common denominator instead of compatibility with the high end stuff? lol :)

looking good bro! too bad you had to hack a piece of the lili case
I think I'll go for this case in my next build, and this log surely has given me some great perspective!
Nice work :up:
Looking forward to some more updates when you get back:yepp:
Nice job! Yeah once you start cutting the crossbeams, you begin to realise how light and easy to damage aluminium is. =X
Taking off the mammoth GT200 heatsink took me some time. It was hard to get the top and bottom to actually split. A flathead screwdriver was my saviour =D.
Never!!!:shocked: R3 would have had to shoot me :ROTF:Quote:

FULLY SICK SUBWOOFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome work twenn2!!!
loving the pics. Natural light seems to work well with your camera.
hopefully i'll get some work done on my mod! Have a uni assignment to do that I have been putting off!
you on WCG yet? I just signed up.
emu
Yes those dreaded uni assignments =XXXXXXXXX
Prepared to be diagnosed with a new disease. Also expect a phone call from someone around your dad's age if you slack off crunching.
ha, never!!!! They're too expensive anyway :eek:. This case only cost me $150AUD, it's gotta be the cheapest all-alu Lian Li on the market i reckon.Quote:

Don't mention Uni assigments, i have four due the week after this, three on the friday. :mad:
I'm so glad the pics turned out ok. I've said before that it's just a POS (translated as Piece Of :banana::banana::banana::banana: or Point and Shoot. :rofl:) HP camera, but as you say it needs the natural daylight to produce pics of any real quality.
I wish i could, but i don't have intraweb access in my room. The only PC with net access is the lappy in the lounge, and it struggles just running IE in windows XP! :rolleyes:Quote:

OK, you fixed that little problem, but what if the tubing is attached?
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...d/tubing02.jpg
That's a very valid question.
The 4870 is gonna be in the furthermost PCI-E slot, so on the far right of that picture. I'd hope that the tubing could be pushed down to clear the frame. Note that this would only be an issue when i want to slide the mobo tray in or out of the case. In both these scenarios the loop would be dry/drained, thus reducing the risk of a leak due to my fiddling/pushing on the tubes.
However, if worst comes to worst i'll just have to install the card with the tray already in the case. I'll see how i go.;)
Thanks for ruining my evening! :(:p:
Lol, J/K:up:
I was just reading through all my sub'd threads for the 1st time a a week or two and was really enjoying seeing everything you had got done so far, then that 1st shot where the card with block on it wouldnt fit it in appeared and i shouted nooooooooo! I felt real empathy for ya at that point.
Glad you got it sorted, excellent pics with lots of nice details. really looking forward to more.:up::D
haha. these onesQuote:

I wish i didn't have to hack such a fine case, but one must do what one deems necessary, for the greater good.:yepp:Quote:
