[LL V1000] Crystal Clear

[Laine]

And here we go, this is going to be my second mod and first attempt at watercooling.
I started out with a stock Lian Li PC-V1000B Plus II, and did the standard V1000 tinkering, as making a cut behind the 5,25" rack and enlarge the standard cut in the tilted part.

Then I found MurderMod and the MDPC-X gallery and thought "That's what I want!", why not give it a try?


Hardware:
MB - XFX 780i
CPU - Intel Q6600
GPU - XFX GTX260
PSU - Fractal Design Newton 500w
HDD - WD250 and Samsung 500
RAM - Not decided/dead Corsairs XMS'

Watercooling:
Full EK 780i setup, 3 blocks - nickel with plexi
EK Supreme LT - nickel with plexi
EK FC-GTX260 - nickel with plexi
Feser X-Changer 240
Feser X-Changer 120
Laing DDC 18w
EK 100 restop for DDC
EK 250 multioption res
XSPC White/Black tubing (Sleeved)
Destilled water
Various bits and pieces

Goals:
Getting a stealthy V1000 which seems stock and aircooled on the outside but is a totaly different story inside!
Getting a compact build!
Making something beutiful!

I'm starting this thread almost half way in to the project, might be a bit confusing.
Anyhow, here we go!


Testing the mockup floor, liking the outcome.


Shiney! :-o


I was bored, went out and made a set of shrouds just for fun.


Made a cut for some light emitting diodes.


Test mounting the reservoar, loving it.



Some wierd sketching?


Going to be the other way around.



The Laing DDC and Feser 240, new paper revision.


XFX GTX260 without the childish stickers. MB is a mockup only.


About 60 meters of sleeving, but the PSU is for another project of mine.
The extenders are for the Lian tho, 50cm ATX24/70cm PCI-E.

Cheers.
