LiLi Tower

[kier]

@kier: have you thought of doing one big single faceplate for the front instead? it might actually look much cleaner. but nonetheless, everything seems to be turning out great!

thank you,
I did have tought about that. But when i do that, the glostring cant be seen.
Now the line runs horizontally and vertically around the case and is connected to each other

nice work mate, you should really use some mayhem die to spice your rig up!

You think so?

I dont have good experiences with colored liquid, gives a lot of colored trash on the blocks
dont know ive mayhem is giving the same?

Update:

The LiLi Tower is of course not on hold. Was only in doubt whether I would let the custom side panels to be laser cutted
or do it myself. Hmm, gonna do it myself.
Measured it 3 times before cutting




Holes for the jigsaw



And after a lot of cutting and filing, 1 x side panel. Others also made but of course in reverse



For the front panel also drawn two pieces



Panel 1



Panel 2



Side has been made and fit. It has the same angle as the reservoir



The part below, only needs to eliminate some cables behind



The right part



And the front panel placed



The display of the aquaero is blue now, I have been using dark blue filter
Other one is still off, still needs to make the cable



And some pictures when it was dark



The front with ........ a blue cross



Line passes through nicely





Total shot



He already runs now for two weeks very smoothly. Needs to do some small things before the final pictures
But these will certainly come.

Grtzzz.

Hi Y'all on this very sunny day (in the netherlands)
Just one small addition to the previous update.

I was hoping my sleeve for the McMod was coming in this weekend, but no.
So cleaned the BBQ after one year of standing still.
In about an hour I'm gonna put half a cow on it, and the feast can begin. In the meantime,
I was still brainstorming about the LiLi tower. I just miss something ........
I know...........the top.
With the last aluminum i have, made some nice pieces.

Can can afford to mess it up because the plates are EOL over here
The two plates measured and marked, holes made for the jigsaw


After some cutting and filing work got everything nice and straight.



And the other panel, slightly different. This for the line around to continue



Still need to drill the holes and the countersunk the bolts.



Now, there's nothing more to do with the outside appearance of the tower (I think)
The inside can still use some light, so tonight's gonna play with loose LEDs and LED strips

And I'm thinking hard to put a blue color in the water.
Think it is very nice effect. I've Looked for Dye Mayhem Deep Blue,
I think one of the better color additives. But nowhere in the Netherlands to obtain.
Belgium either, and I am just told that the dye is EOL.
Now I have no experience with Feser Feser Active UV dye or blue dye active clear / blue entries,
so if anyone has used it already once, please let me know!

Grtzzz.

[kier]

Update!!!

Today I've got my blue dye so I can finally show you some pictures of the case closed, and especially for the Motm nomination this update

Feser View UV Dye



It was transparant



Add a little bit of dye



Some more



Add about 3 ml



Power up the pump



And everything turned blue







One more to go



Some more





And everything turned blue









It's now the some blue color as the illuminated glo string in the middle



Other side





So I can finally close the LiLi



The upper right part





The lower right part





And the whole right side





The back with the Coolermaster turbine







Closed the left side













And from above





It's a lot of blue, but I hope you like it
Just need to do some more cable manegement and put some nice lights in it
So to be continued

Grtzzz.

nicwe job kier! Always love your builds

[martensch]

Amazing, is all I can say... I love the Lian Li V35X Series (got one for myself at home) but you`ve done with the 2 is stunning!! There`s not too much blue, it just fits together very well, for me a very complete mod!! I really like it!!

[kier]

Almost done with the lightning, here some preview pictures, but...............more to come
I used white SMD led strips













Need to make one flatcable for the aquaero, then LiLi Tower is finished

[ScottALot]

It's like any mess you have up top is made up by the epic-looking bottom half.

[RCG_Bex]

Seriously dude, 1 of the nicest, sexiest builds I've seen. Loved your last work. Love the latest.

*bows before you*

Messy and clean at the same time, didn't hear that one before

Have made the flatcable for the aquaero and the Lamptron dots connected



Gonna make some nice last pictures, so one more update to go

Maybe busy is a better word than mess. There's a lot going on up top I agree but it also does give it that unique cool factor.

Very nice project!

That's it folks, Hope you like it

Keep on modding

[OC Maximus]

Love it!

[Havokator]

amazing! great work

[kier]

thnx you guys

Just one small addition due to questions about aquaero
The flat cable for the display and aquaero

The Aquaero (old one that I had lying around)



This old versions can not be separated I think, and do not want it demolished. But those who are in the LiLi I could easily be separated



For the cable I ordered 16 wire ribbon cable



female connectors



And headers



One side connected straight





Other side, crossed the wires. Careful split the wires with a knife



And cross it. wire 1 on pin 2, 2 on 1, 3 on 4 and 4 on 3 etc.



Almost finished



Header pushed in



And the cable is finished



Still needed to make one so a good reason for this mini tutorial



Grtzzz.

[theseeker]

Beautiful work and the internal pics are gorgeous!

[disruptfam]

Wow amazing work!

Only thing i would comment on is the power buttons not sitting flush with the case.

Amazing build regardless.
