Project X-343B-WC (Lian Li Cube) Completed [WARNING: Lots of Pics! 56K Beware]

[peebee]

Got the Case right now

How did you get the rad mounted with the 3-Slot Fan-covers? The cages are very deep and a Rad is standing very deep in the case, not close to the front! Do I have to modify those?

[~aoe~]

Hi Peebee

Happy to hear you finally got the case

I modded the fan covers (I believe we all did) by cutting out the top and bottom off each. Here's a pic from page 1 of this thread:



And on page 6, he explains where to cut:



It's not necessary to cut it all - you can leave up to 25mm (width of fan) to provide additional rigidity, although this is not necessary.

As you can see, mjassbong attached the front fans to the covers - I personally fixed them to the radiator and then slid the rad into the slots.

Good luck with the build. Hope you are planning to provide us with a build log

Well, I already cut the first one. I saw, what I had to do *hrhrhr*
I also took all parts out of the case. Maybe I will shorten the mainboard-Tray between the 5,25 Cages. For more space.

I polished the bottom a little bit. But it musn´t be a mirror, just a little bit more shiny.

I cut the mobo tray to allow more space between the cages and built just a small bracket to remount it to the brace that attaches the front part of the tray to the right drive cage tower.

Sounds complicated but when you look at it, it isn't. Only issue was getting a good cut near the bottom of the case scuffed the bottom a tiny bit. But that's not a concern to me. It could be a concern to you.

I just decided to cut out a bigger hole. That should be pretty stable and deliver enough room between the cages.

Impressive build, it's hard to make tripple loops look that clean.

Good work.

Nice job. I was wondering what the ambient temps were when you gave those Temps. For all the rads and loops they seem rather high for idle . I would expect all temps @ idle to be in the 26c-29c range.

That one hell of a badarse RIG!! Good job and my respect but i think your temp is a bit on the high side with all those hardware. I guess it equally costed a fortune(hi hi). Keep it up

[RADCOM]

Fantastic job, I gotta get me one of these

Hi mate

Its me again. I am still stumped about the fittings you have between the two GFX cards. I have the same board and cards as you but for some reason there doesnt seem to be as much room between them.....it looks like u got an inch of pipe there between the two cards, my fittings actually touch there is so little room. Can you tell me exactly what those two fittings are and the size of the tubing (ID) you used?

Very nice clean build, love the different colored loops. I love this case I plan to use it for my newest build. Sweet rig keep up the good work!

[Eddie3dfx]

This is my favorite build of all time

[Eddie3dfx]

Why bump it...???

Just send a PM to mod to move it, too many bumps lately...

This setup is what inspired me to do a triple loop!
must show appreciation lol

[Mr 326]

1 word - awesome

[Asgard_thor]

can I have it?

[twwen2]

Well now it's been bumped imma take the opportunity to say what i should have when i first saw this wonderful build. I'd have to say this is probably my favourite build ever on XS!

Now let it rest in peace..
