[Work Log] Lian-Li PC-101A [56k Warning] Updated 7/19/08

Parts List: To Be Detailed when i have time to type it up

Highlights: DIF
So, I love this case, its not too huge but still has space for everything. its from the "silent" series so everything has extra thickness and there is rubber vibration killers all over the place. enjoy the pictures, ask any questions, I'll be posting regular updates to this first post as the parts start rolling in. Mainly I'm waiting for the yates from petras and my video card for Extreme PC. once I get those I can take the pump and Fuzion out of my current rig (Sg-03, in sig)

PICTURES (what you looked at this thread for ;))

My advice is not to put the pump directly onto the gel. You should make a mount for the pump.

I think he means that if you put the pump on it directly it could get to warm. So it is better to create a mounting for the pump and place that on the gel pad. So the bottom of the pump can have fresh air too.

I already run a ddc 3.2 stuck directly to a piece of double sided adhesive foam and have no heat problems. Maybe this was an issue with the ddc-2 ?

any who, I got more parts and ill be added a few pics in about an hour or so.

I have seen a couple of occasions where someone puts a ddc on the gel stuff directly and it overheats and dies.

Just peel the sticker off carefully. No need to repaint.

-its done !

delrin parts look sexy, and no the 90 degree bends don't kill my performance, it is a single block loop anyway.

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6...01a0718nj1.jpg

-the pump is in a different spot before so that it works with the t-line

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/6...01a0720ij9.jpg

-power button lights up and the reset button is the hdd light

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1...01a0722ax5.jpg

-the floppy molex power connectors plugged into the board, the next two pics show these

Hey SNiiPE_DoGG I loved the project.
But why the rad fans pulling air inside the case ? they should push air outside.

the idea is to bring the colder air from outside through the radiator, this means they need to blow into the case.

Very neat job.
These V series are better to LC than folks think. The v2000 isn't the only one, if you think a bit.

omg, yes the radiator heats up the air, but the air colder going through the rad. I dont care about the air once its in the case, I only care about the coldest air possible going through the rad.
