I also mounted the rad, there's some awful pics of that but they'll have to do for the meantime.

The UN pump brackets are teh bomb i tell you! :yepp:

And now those horrible out-of-focus photos of the rad mounted

And lastly a shot of the case in position! This will be it's home for the next year or so. The EK res may well end up in that exact position, i'll have to experiment:

It seems that the new BP rotary fittings are finally making an appearance, so hopefully i'll have mine soon...:shrug:

Those D-plugs on the rad, they're friction fit? You're not worried about...you know...the rad falling over and the fittings pulling loose?
Yes they're only held together by the force of the o-rings against the wall of the female plug. Thankfully that force is large! :rofl:
The rad won't be falling over anytime soon, as can be seen in the pic it is bolted to the side of the desk. ;)
Edit: Then again, the pic is so bad i don't blame you for missing it. In fact i wouldn't be surprised if i'm the only one who can see it! :ROTF:
Don't accidentally move your case too far or . . . . LOL.
Nice job and I like where you stuck the rad. Maybe if it was under your desk .. . . .. heater?
Looks great! You will barely notice that the rad is there (just don't forget it IS there!) ;)
Ah yes, you see i have a ducted heating vent under the desk, so the whole area under there is nice and warm in winter. :up: Not quite the location for the rad, i'm sure you'll agree! By having it on the outside, it doesn't suck any warm air.Quote:

Have you thought about mounting the res on the side of the case? I just think those reservoirs are so much easier to work with when vertical.
interesting way of mounting the pump & the res...tho i'm not that crazy about mounting the rad away from the case. but anyhow, everything still looks good! :up:
Great ingenuity! Cute setup, although one wonders why you would put yourself through the pains of a small case lol
Don't bring that up lol. Never again! :rofl:Quote:

I am eagerly awaiting the next set of pics! Looking very good twwen! :up:
Looks great twwen2!
Some of those pics look like I took them! lol ;)
I think I now have an idea on how to use my "spare" PA120.3 while I wait for the AUD to settle down and let me afford a Ascension BDS-Extension.
emu
P.s. I do have to wonder what the thinking was for SFF and external rad not mounted to the case.
Cheers Emu :)Quote:

So as you can imagine i was not in a hurry to part with it, nor put it aside. I had to make it work. I'm sure you'll understand ;)
Edit: 1000 posts!!!! YAY :D
BTW
Got my learners permit today and first lessons tomorrow!
did you get it when the Xchange was 98c to the USD? Cos that was a much better deal than now (71c)
I do understand! I'm looking at mine wondering If I can hook it up for use when I am at home and disconnect it when I go to a LAN? That way I can have low temps and low noise at home and at a lan who cares about the noise!
More pics please! ;)
You got PM!Quote:

I thought i better clarify something. A few have made comments to the tune of "why didn't you mount the rad on the case". I completely understand that this being a SFF case, people presume it to be a LAN build. However this is not the case! (sorry, that was real lame)
I have never been to a LAN and probably won't in the forseeable future, so the case will most likely never have to move. Thus, portability is not a concern. Hopefully that clears things up somewhat. :up:
D= not a lan build. Blasphemy GRRR
I have been to 2 lans in my life, the ones were you pay and use their pcs. It was long and I was tired at 2am and my reactions were soooo bad. So yeah. Not too keen on lans but that's just me XD.
although i LOVE what you have done here. That has just confirmed my choice for the TJ-07!Quote:

twwen2's hacking of precious Lian-Li case continues...
You guys should remember from a few pages back that i removed the HDD cage. I then mounted the HDD in one of the drive bays using a Scythe barcket some of you are familiar with.
However unbeknown to me, the bracket actually stopped the drive-bay cover from installing properly. This meant that when i put the case side panel back on, there would be an ugly gap.
So i had to do some more metalwork! :D
Here's the HDD installed in the bay. Note my sweet MS paint skills!

This one shows the bay cover unable to go in properly

The customary masking tape to protect the lovely aluminum

And the final cut

Now watch it slide in

I can't believe i actually did it without stuffing it up. :ROTF:

Looking good. Keep it coming :)
