Project: Lian Li PC-71 Rebuild



Introduction:
I've been a long time luker on this site for years even though I barely finally decided to register on the site. What started as a simple project to replace an aging video card in my primary machine to support a new 30 inch monitor turned into a full blown rebuild of this computer. I was running a Pentium 4 in the computer so I figured it was time to refresh it with some new parts.

Usually in my impatience to rebuild my computers in the past, I've usually rushed through the process and not really taken the time to do it properly the first time. Hopefully with this build I'm gonna take my time and build it up as time and money permits.

This is my second time watercooling and it went smoothly the first time, so I've decided to watercool this system also.

I've decided for now just to keep this a CPU loop with the possibility of adding NB/SouthBridge cooling also.

(I'll be editing this section as I acquire the parts)

I'll try to update this build as often as I can when parts come in and I start piecing her together. While this probably won't be as extensive as some of the great builds I've seen in this section, hopefully it will inspire others to document their builds and share with the community here.
