Project Capella (Lian Li PC-P50R)

Gorgeous.
I must say, even though I am a Swiftech fan, I love these new EK supremes (I have one, check my sig (not trying to steal thread views, but I'd rather not post a picture in yours)).

Can't wait to see the white top and what it looks like on the board!

Btw, I can't find a component list.... And I have a strong suggestion for your backplate depending on what your platform is...

Thanks Wezly, I did consider the RED Supreme. But in the end, 1) I wanted to try out the HF version, and 2) I am a ROG loyalist and the Classified will probably not have a role in this build. I can't wait for white acetal tops to come around!

No component list? Yeah that's because there isn't one...yet. Like I mentioned I have vague directions in terms of hardware: Gulftown and DX11, but Gulftown is not available yet so there's no point buying a 5970 now when there could be something better around the corner when I'm ready to shop. I be playin' the wait and see game for now yo.

What's your input on the backplate?

Nice work on the rad!

How bout Black with a tinge of red?

Or Vice versa

Thanks Greg! Black/red huh...not sure I have the skill to pull that off to be honest though that would look pretty sick.

nice parts!

Thanks GK, you're damn handy with a can of paint and if geography allowed I'd probably pay you to do all the painting for me!

Primer'd. Again!

Two coats of primer done, lightly wet sanded with 1200 grit. Maybe it was the way I was spraying but I ended up with a very gritty surface. Sanding took care of that and now the sides are all yummy smooth. I'm a fan of Rustoleum, this primer is pretty solid stuff. Recommended.

I'm fixing to put on the color coat this weekend so please vote! Gloss red is leading ATM but I'm leaning towards gloss white for the novelty...time will tell.



I vunder if it will be raining...
Hitler...iz out of ze vay.
Time vill tell. Sooner or later...time vill tell.
