This will be the Extreme Lian Li II

Phase change and water cooling will come in the case.

what model is that?

looks a bit like a g70 with a different front bezel and drive racks to me.

Is it a new model?

I like....A LOT (then again I like all Lian Li cases). I wonder if they'll have an inverted color scheme--it'd match my phase perfectly....

woww :D another case :D

good luck with this ;)

Wow!!! Tuned again on your thread Ediejo :woot:

are there any top vents, what does the side panel look like?

what model is that? It seems the G70

good luck Ediejo :)

It is a new model. The continuator from de G-70. So far as I know it is not in production now. Only the midi tower PC-7S

Theme from the case. Extreme. Same as the Extreme Lian Li. But than the cooling in the case.

Wait... how did you manage to get that as a gift?

That’s my secret. But the lady was nice.;)
Maybe it’s ready for the computex in Tampei. Than it will standing in the stand from Lian Li.

Good grief Eddiejo this seems to be another interesting project ahead ...

groetjes van een zuiderbuur

The case looks beautiful, and I can't wait to see what you're gonna do with it!

That case is exactly what Lian Li needs in their product line up right now!

Good luck Ediejo. I'll be anxiosly waiting every pic, like the rest of us....:toast:

But I'd really like to see you incorperate power connections soldered to the board. That'd be extreme.:banana: :banana: :banana:

That would be motherboard mod, not case mod.
Ediejo, if it's as good as CarbonLi i expect more gifts from LianLi coming for you... good luck!

Before I can start with the Extreme Lian Li 2 I have to dismantle the first one.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/5.jpg

After one hourers it looks like this..

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/6.jpg

And 2 hours later like this.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/7.jpg

I need to clean the water cooling parts. But this is the place for the 2 tanks.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/8.jpg

Also remove the hard disk bay. It’s a nice place for the dual radiator.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/9.jpg

I have to fix a little thing than it fits.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/11.jpg

Now let’s see where I put the power supply and the 2 pumps.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/10.jpg

It’s a big case so I can change something.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/12.jpg

But to much empty space at the top part.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/13.jpg

This looks better. Where the hard disk bay sits. There will come an air tunnel to the top of the case.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/14.jpg

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/15.jpg

The power supply must go upstairs because the phase change.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/16.jpg

This times not a feet but wheels under the case.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/17.jpg

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/18.jpg

Starting with the drawing for the cut out.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/19.jpg

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/20.jpg

I put the whole case under the saw.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/21.jpg

Not a saw broken.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/22.jpg

After some work with the vile.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/23.jpg

And it fits.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/24.jpg

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/25.jpg

Next part the radiator.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/26.jpg

This time with the Dremel.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/27.jpg

It also fits.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/28.jpg

No problem with the screws anymore.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/29.jpg

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/30.jpg

The lower part from the case.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/31.jpg

Now it’s waiting when my Canon 350 work well again. It’s broken.

Hi ;)

Just one question.. In this project you'll not use the same hardware of the old extreme lian li, right?

Probably you've to mod the prommy to handle the "power" of the new rig..
;)

[]s

hmmm... FRESH MEAT!!! hope they make it a production model. Looks like it would work well for water cooling.

Always a pleasure to read your threads..:up:

QFT

and i like this case a looooooooooooot

can you mount the psu @ the top, this will be awesome for fitting a PA120.3 with fans @ the bottom and still have big space between it and the mobo

Wow, extremely ace.

.......wow.......

I like this case quite a bit. :up:

I'm pretty sure my next case is going to be Lian Li with room for a lot of HD's and it has to have wheels too.:yepp:

Thats going to be amazing, keep us posted.

Rob

This case is awesome! Can I get one?

What are the dimensions of this case?

that case looks nice. :)
Looking forward to more pics

My camera is broken. :shocked:

I hope it will be back next week. Updates enough but no photos

Anyone have a towel? I seem to have made a mess over here ;) :yepp: :up:

wooow.. great so far...

I font some time to work on the case again. ;)
There is the possible to place two psu’s in this case. One at the bottom I and one in the top. I gone use the one in the top. So I start to make a whole new back. From Plexiglas and aluminum.

First part is from paper.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/35.JPG

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/36.JPG

In the bottom part will come 2 x 80mm casefans.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/37.JPG

Making the First part from acrylic

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/38.JPG

Some sanding work.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/39.JPG

Cut out the inner part.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/40.JPG

Also some sanding work.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/41.JPG

Last part by hand.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/42.JPG

That’s fit.

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/43.JPG

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/44.JPG

http://need-modding.nl/Foto/ELL2/45.JPG

Ready for polishing.
See you soon.

It's a PC-A70!! The case I'm looking to order right now. Could you take some measurements for me? Please? I'm trying to figure out how much room there is for a Thermochill 120.2 behind those two front fans. I figured to remove the HDD cage and that fan pillar like you did. I hope I won't have to cut the bottom to fit it in. Here are the dimensions for the 120.2.

http://www.thermochill.com/guides/PA120-2.pdf

I've been touting this case all over the place but haven't actually seen one yet.

Thank you! It would be nice if the darn screws lined up!

You are the Man! You live in the NL? I have always wanted to see you're country.

Wolf:up:

glad to see this project back to life

@CyberDruid, ;)

@Etherwolf, the first screw. 21mm from the bottom from the case. Sorry, only cut out the bottom to place the radiator like I did.

Continue with the backside from the case. I think the out take at the back make some noise with all the holes. So I take it out.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/46.JPG

Out is one part. To vile is the second part.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/47.JPG

It must be straight so I need a line to see how far I can go.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/48.JPG

And than sweating.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/49.JPG

First part ready.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/50.JPG

Next part the acrylic.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/51.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/52.JPG

That’s something to handle with care. I won’t broke the small part acrylic.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/53.JPG

See you soon. ;)

Thanks Ediejo! Maybe I can find a radiator that will fit without cutting the bottom. If not I can mount a 120.3 in the top panel.

Thanks again!!

Do you think this might work up front?

http://people.delphiforums.com/ether...IC-708X749.gif

And are you going to place a simple grill over that exhaust you cut out?

Wolf

Continue with the Plexiglas. Drawing the holes for the PSU.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/54.JPG

I saw it a little bigger than the aluminum. So the last part by hand and Dremel

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/55.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/56.JPG

Then polishing the edges.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/57.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/58.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/59.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/60.JPG

Same story only this time aluminum.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/61.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/62.JPG

I cut the part that I need with the dremel.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/63.JPG

The last part with the scroll-saw.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/64.JPG

Looks much better than with the slots upstairs the psu.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/65.JPG

It’s not 100% ready but it fit well. There is some work to do.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/67.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/68.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/69.JPG

Sanding the aluminum.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/70.JPG

Also take of the anodized part from the aluminum.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/71.JPG

The First part what been polishing.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/72.JPG

After the polish pasta, I do the same with AlU belgom.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/73.JPG

After that the same again with metal polish van autoglym.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/74.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/75.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/76.JPG

See you soon.

wow nice.

Another amazing case mod. Keep up the good work :up:

Yes, it's a PC-A70. I just recently got one myself, after they finally became available in Australia.

Though it is a little different to the one Ediejo is modding; the rear fan port has a wire grill, and the back exhaust port next to the PCI brackets has long holes, instead of round holes.
And it's only either silver or black (unless you paint it)

here's the rear of my PC-A70, so you can see how it's different:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...PC-A70rear.jpg

I've cut 3 fan holes for a PA120.3 at the top, and I'll be putting some holes in the motherboard tray for wire management:
http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f10/ca...72/index2.html

Though the mods I'm doing are not nearly as major as the ones Ediejo is doing. This is the first case I've started to mod.

Quote:

---

What are the dimensions of this case?

---

it's approx 22 6/8" tall, 23 3/16" long, and 8 5/8" wide. That's what I measured.

@troisanh, thanks.

@bball4ever39, i hope so. It’s only the beginning. A lot can go wrong. ;)

@Apokalipse, there is some different between your case and my. That’s why lian li give me this one at the Cubit. It was not in production at that time. Good luck with your case and mod. ;)
I forgot to post a picture with some light behind it. Just for the idea. This are ccfl’s but I go for led’s.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/77.JPG

2 parts to go. One big part for the case and a part for the promo. ;)

looking good, nice idea for the illuminated panels. I liked it ;)

@leo bsb, I like it also. I hope I can make the back part as I want.

Today starting with a big vile and sanding job.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/78.JPG

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/79.JPG

That’s fit.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/80.JPG

Some drawing for the part I must saw.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/81.JPG

This is not so hard to saw.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/82.JPG

But this is really exciting to saw so close to the edge.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/83.JPG

Last part of it I will do it with file and sanding paper.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/84.JPG
Remove a part from the case and place the Plexiglas on his place. It fits nice with the side panel.

http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/85.JPG

The left side looks terrible but it’s so close to the edge to saw. So I keep that part for the file and the sanding paper. When I saw it so close to the edge, I think it will break when I do some work at it.


http://ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/86.JPG

See you soon.

wow thats some beautiful work your doing there.
im pretty new here so i havent had a chance to see your old extreme build but so far this is amazing!

Absolutely amazing so far man, hope it turns out as well as the first.
Subscribed, I've always wanted to get an all-in one setup like this.. stupid college.

Very nice mod...
I'll wait more pictures!!!

@lazy, here you find the first one.

@Fujimitsu,I hope it will be better than the first one. And it lost weight. The first one was very heavy.

@BND|MOD, I hope tomorrow today is was to late home from my work. ;)

You might be able to shave off some weight but I don't think she'll ever be light by any standard :p:

Since people have been asking about it that seems to be this case that they recently released in two tone, with wheels, and the card holder removed.

No it's an evolved iteration of the PC-70 and PC-71 cases. But you got the case right on NewEgg. It comes in black or silver. The PC-A71 has a front door and the PC-A70 doesn't. Here is a video review:

Now if only it came with a window panel.

you can make one.

now that's something new... so basically any plexi, you can use to give nice even lighting along the edges?

so if i sandwich a plexi under the MB tray and pop some light into it, then the entire bottom edge of it will light up?

wow Ediejo, you sure put in alot of work on the original Xtreme case..


now really looking forward to this build!:up:

@Apokalipse, exactly. Make one. ;)

@kinghong1970, yes I can give light along the edges. And also yes as answer for your mobotray.

@lazy, here it is. ;)

Today I started with the file job. It’s a job that takes some time. I must be careful. It’s small and Plexiglas

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/87.JPG

This is not so hard.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/88.JPG


This part will be exiting. I do it step by step. Maximum peace of Plexiglas between 2 grips 5 cm. File that part. Move the grips and do the same again.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/89.JPG

And not broken. :rocker:

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/91.JPG

Also for the other parts that I must file. I use the iron (Dutch name angle line) When I hit the iron with the file. It’s ready. ;)

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/92.JPG

Some close up photos.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/93.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/94.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/95.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/96.JPG

Next part for tomorrow. ;)

ediejo, some advice here... i am very curious and want to try the plexi sheet under MB tray thing... question is, how much light source will i need?

i will be cutting holes in the MB tray for cable management but was curioius if one light supply via led at center of plexi is enough to supply light all around the edges of a plexi sheet size of a MB tray PLUS carry light around the cut holes and such?

thanks!

I want to put a window in the side of my case, which is almost finished.
One question I have is, how can I mount the window on the side?

I have:
a piece of plexiglass
several drills (including a cordless)
a jigsaw
rivets
one of those things you put rivets in with (I don't know what it's called)
plenty of screws, washers etc
lots of files of various shapes and sizes

I'm also getting some rubber trim

@kinghong, you need about 20 led’s to light up the edges from Plexiglas MB tray thing.

@Apokalipse, drill some holes in the side panel. Keep the plexi bigger than the holes in your side panel. Place the plexi. Drill the holes again but now in the Plexiglas. Like this. Clic

@crash5s, I think the side panel is the same as from the pc-70. ;)

And continue with the file job from the backside.
First lock up the Plexiglas again.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/97.jpg

Almost nothing to see but I am try to file here.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/98.jpg

And straight.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/99.jpg

Next part. ;)

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/100a.jpg

First part done. Only the fan hole to go.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/101.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/102.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/103.jpg

But that’s for tomorrow.

Checkout how the light is transferred in this side window.
Snapper cut a thick piece so it's rebated through the opening.

Jedda that window is cool, relatively minor change but it looks soo much cooler sticking out like that.

Looking good ediejo, I'm following this closely.

thanks for the input guys... i think i may have to find alternate solution as i fear it will interfere with the cables that will go under the MB...

but thanks again for the input.

great build ediejo!

Great stuff again Eddie, jeez man you rock !!!, I love Plexi but damn it's so fragile, you do much better than me hehehhe I only tend to break stuff

And continue with the fanhole.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/105.jpg

The worst part is coming..

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/106.jpg

When there is 2 mm of aluminum behind the Plexiglas it’s much.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/107.jpg

And now way to use the iron to clasp it.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/108.jpg

I keep it a little bigger. I think when I make it smaller it breaks.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/110.jpg

Use sanding paper for the edges and I like t this way.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/109.jpg

It starts to look something.
http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/111.jpg

Next part same story but this time aluminum.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/112.jpg

Drawing the contours from the plexi on the aluminum.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/113.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/114.jpg

And sawing the aluminum.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/115.jpg

Still some file and sanding work to do.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/116.jpg

And polishing but that’s for next week. ;)

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/117.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/118.jpg

It will be a worse job to put some led’s in the small plexi but I try it.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/119.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/120a.jpg

See you soon.

wowwwwwwww

Looking great

amazing work Edie!

Thank you all for the compliments.

Some more file work to do.

This time I do not using the iron with the file job.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/121.JPG

That aluminum from AC-Ryan is very good to handle.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/122.JPG

First part done.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/123.JPG

But enough to do.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/124.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/125.JPG

I like t.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/126.JPG

Sanding and polishing is for tomorrow.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/134.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/135.JPG

See you soon.

Today some sanding and polishing to do.
Starting with dry sanding.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/136.JPG

And ready with dry sanding.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/137.JPG

Continue with wet sanding.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/138.JPG

Than polishing.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/139.JPG

Almost ready, but it’s too late to continue. Tomorrow I must work early.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/140.JPG

Here you can see the difference between the two parts.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/141.JPG

Here even better.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/142.JPG

But that’s for tomorrow.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/143.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/144.JPG

See you soon.

It's gonna look so good once all lit up with that polished aluminum and the green plexi... :eek:

Finishing the polishing work at the back side, that’s for next week.
Today I start with the front. First thing is taking out the mesh part for a moment.. Sorry Lian Li.

Drill a hole.

And then with the jig saw.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/146.JPG

Don’t look good.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/147.JPG

Take the file. (again)

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/148.JPG

It’s not 100% straight (right corner at the top)

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/149.JPG

But that’s for later.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/152.JPG

This is the beginning from the front there will come more plexi inside and some mesh. The color black will also disappear.

But that’s for next week this weekend I go to Zandvoort A1 GP.:rocker:

Have a nice weekend all and see you next week. ;)

God damit this is some awesome modding there!

Another great mod, as usual. Great goings Ed :)

@Patriote, thanks.

@TRG, I hope I can beat the first one. ;)

And continue with the front panel. It starts to looks boring. Again file work to do.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/153.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/154.JPG

Between the file job. I have some time to drill.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/155.JPG

And file it again.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/156.JPG

Only the sanding part to do.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/157.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/158.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/159.JPG

There is also some plexi behind the holes from the buttons. Now you think maybe why?

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/160.JPG

These are really nice buttons. Because they have an edge on the bottom.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/161.JPG

Now you can see the plexi. And the buttons are working well.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/162.JPG

I put some light behind it to see the effect.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/163.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/164.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/165.JPG

See you soon.

Looking brilliant. There a great green glow of it too.

@cian1500ww, thanks

And continue with the front. Make a copy from the first part.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/166.JPG

And that one will come here. On the case.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/167.JPG

Marking the holes for sawing and drilling.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/168.JPG

And the saw job is done.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/169.JPG

On the case.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/170.JPG

Still some work to do.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/171.JPG

This time complete by hand.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/172.JPG

That’s fit.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/173.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/174.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/175.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/176.JPG

Maybe I use this radgrill.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/178.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/179.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/180.JPG

See you soon.

You're brilliant at the filing, hard to get good square and even edges. Well done !

@cain1500ww, thanks for the compliment. ;)

Looks nice, but I think the radgrill without the heatkiller logo's will look even better :) will give it a cleaner/sleeker look.

Everything else looks great :D, this is going to be another eyecatcher, superb modding Ed :)

This morning I visit Point of View for a cup of coffee. No cookie at the coffee this time, but a nice suitcase.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/182.JPG

Some people will remember it from the Carbon Li.
1100Watt straight power. I love this one. The cables are no problem I go for quality. ;)

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/183.JPG

Only the Point of View edition this time.. Tagan make good powersuplys.. I think it’s a good decision from Point of View to cooperate with Tagan.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/184.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/185.JPG

No mod update this time. I was too late at home.

great work so far!

@illidan, thanks for the compliment.

And continue with the front. I make some plexi to mount the 2 reservoirs.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/186.JPG

I need the edges from the original front. So I can place the reservoirs exactly in the center.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/187.JPG

I use the standard mounting plates only for drawing.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/188.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/189.JPG

Dan saw the plexi.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/190.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/191.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/192.JPG

Filing and sanding.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/193.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/194.JPG

That’s fit well.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/195.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/196.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/197.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/198.JPG

Almost the same as the plexi from the front. But this is to hide the plexi for a part.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/199.JPG

Again filing.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/200.JPG

Also the small holes.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/201.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/202.JPG

The black anodized will be removed. And it will be polishing.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/203.JPG

http://www.ediejo.nl/Foto/ELL2/204.JPG

See you soon.

I guess that Deamon Tools and a fileserver could do the job, or a USB/Firewire external DVD drive placed on the desktop...

But nice to notice that. That thought never crossed my mind, as I'm stunned by the quality work of this mod :up:

USB DVD?

What about the expansion slots at the back?
