HOLY ... look at all the dvds in the background
Nice case, big collection of DVDs, but I don't see any water-cooling
Anyway, very interesting:
unrelated picture, big.
empty lian-li from side with dvds in the background.
empty lian-li from side.
empty lian-li from side with boxes underneath.
empty lian-li from side with boxes and mobile underneath.
empty lian-li from side.
etc.
Better than watching paint dry
Just being sarcastic

Two days have been spent polishing the case to that reflective finish. That's mostly what the pics are for, before & after. Just finished, now on to mounting hardware.

Wow! thats awesome polishing! Nice legs...
For the record I am not sick, nor am I a gamer, nor am I a sick gamer. That name just sounds really cool to me but dont put me under that stereotype at all.
nevermind... addicted to COD4 and Free Online Games baby!
I can't seem to decide which I admire most. You DVD collection or your leg
Just kidding. Very nice case you have and excellent work on the polishing.
where's the worklog???
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
Yeah, really! Put up some awesome photos of one of the best WC cases out there and then leave us hanging. Nice legs, err polishing job BTW
Don't listen to these guys. I'm working on polishing my TJ07 in the same manner, and I can vouch for it being really hard work to get that kind of mirror shine out of aluminum. I look forward to seeing more pics.
It's also quite messy so it has to be done outside for the most part b/c the aluminum bits stain the tub black when using wet/dry sandpaper.
What grit did you go to?

Graet..... it's a pleasure... see that kind of lapped

Glad to see other people taking pride in their Lian Li-ish cases. =) It seems as though polishing the deck plate is getting popular for some reason ...
OP<--- Nice start but don't half-ass it. If that's the type of finish you want then fine, but if you want mirror quality then you need more than just polishing solvent. Take your time, wet sand and polish, use microfiber cloths... and you'll get this:
I even have a thread about it in the 'Computer Cases' forum when I was first working on my build. Not hijacking, just trying to offer some friendly advice.
Amen to that brother. You couldn't pay me to do it again....well almost
