[Project] :::Flow::: (SNiiPE's V2110) - Resurrected

[PradaG]

WOW Snipe - NICE JOB

the flow (cable & tube) is true to its name it was given


sorry to quote your pics -

in the above pic, are there rivets missing from the panel along the right side of the pic?

also...i would have loved to see black rivets rather than the the silver ones - they would help hide them from view - they kinda pop out when they are the only thing in silver

this looks awesome!

I would change out that white fan connector & get a black one

[dualbrain]

Probably should sleeve that 8 pin extender so Dualbrain lets it in S_D

Sure it would be better if sleeved, because plastic cables have no "sex". A cable is like a woman (sry Shazza and Dreamaxx) and with some clothes on they are just more interesting
But it's "I would do different" and not "I would do better".

Therefore: If it's free of too many compromises (PradaG already counts ), I guess it can be taken into consideration. Every addition gets immortal so I always hope for not too many compromises. What gets on it will be there forever (even longer than MDPC-runner-man's life or all of your lifetimes), so the selection needs to be free of too many compromises - because it's a decision that can't be taken back. Less is more in that case.

Very nice to see how modding has evolved in the last 14 months

[Blizzy]

How is performance of parallel compared to "normal" on the VGAs ?

This gotta be on MDPC !
Congrats

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Great guys - I will break out the sleeve and heatgun one last time for this build... that 8-pin is the only one not sleeved and you guys are lucky its only about 5 inches long
also Prada THANKYOU I totally forgot to put those rivets in due to some order of assembly confusion when I first got it back from paint I have the perfect black heatshrink to go over the fan connector that you guys see these are all easy fixes and I greatly thank you for pointing them out to me

you all have seen the preview video (www.dennishelmar.com/video) and when the final one is done I hope to be the first MDPC on video!

also the countersunk rivets do not exist in black, believe me I searched for ever but they must be countersunk and they are hard to find in the first place, never mind in black

[hale88]

So tight

[bullydog]

That 24pin is an absolute Beauty!!! Very very nicely Done!
What sorta sleeves are those ?

[jois21]

[pingpong1455]

wow awesome might i ask where are the hds ?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

one SSD is on the back of the 5.25" and one ssd down in the basement under the PSU

no prob...happy to ...i was just hoping you did not take it the wrong way

with the caliber of PC you have created, these little "odds & ends" take away from the details you want the eye to be drawn to - especially w/ minimalist approach to things

re the rivets...i have many lian li's in the stable (not a V2110) but your case appears to have similar construction to some of mine.. the V600 & V2000 have recessed rivets to attach the door guides

these have worked just fine (when you squeeze the rivet gun, the little bubble that exists in the pic @ PPCS squeezes in to the recessed groove & ends up flat & flush for my doors to close) & they are black

hope it helps

looking forward to the final pics

you mean on the hidden part of the PSU 24-pin? its nylon multifilament - not as nice as MDPC but it got here in a day which was what was necessary - I wouldnt really use it as my first choice for individual wire sleeving, its too flexy and shows the wire form too much. The only reason i decided to stay with it was that the 24-pin cables are completely hidden


Prada I have those, but my door wont go on when I use them in the countersunk holes on the v2110 - tolerances are too tight because of heavy paint :\

[Osterman]

SniiPE great as always, its sounds repetitive now, after 25 pages, your work keep being amazing and the mos timportant thing, without trace of lack of creativity.
Now if you dont bother, I would like to know what is that smal line with, seems to be, white leds on top?

oooh...heavy paint.....never even crossed my mind...

well...maybe mcmaster has em...

http://www.mcmaster.com/#pop-rivets/=319s1j

but you would have to get them anodized (not sure if painting them would turn out right)

(fingers crossed) maybe will solve it

[bullydog]

What sleeves?

So are they?
Colored wires?

[zanzabar]

yah, look through the work log they are just wires

I was just considering it, I sprayed some black paint in a cup, and brushed it on with a brush - perfect, you can even see them anymore

NICE

& away they go

[dreamaxx]

What SATA plugs have you used from the SSDs? I can't see them at all!

[Laine]

I just saw this, and I'm stunned.

I simply don't get it, how can a build with that amount of hardware be so clean?
The wires melt into the case so well, and the LC-loop must be one of the cleanest I have ever witnessed.

Guess I'll be sitting here a while trying to figure out what, exactly, I am looking at.

[charles_h]

Very clean Ian, nice job!

As for your photos - please ask your dad if he'll adopt me, hehe.

Seriously though, please give him my congrats on another round of stunning shots!

[warlockza]

Damn thats a great mod. Well done dude!! and thanks for the thanks to the Lian Li team. We are watching and we love what you are doing.
If you have any more projects lined up, please feel free to contact me directly. I'll be able to arrange a sample quite easily for you or any other Modder Master (with credentials).
Please PM me.
Cheers

SNIIPE!!! What a wonderful thread to come back to! Ive been out of the loop for a bit, and just saw this build.... Incredible build once again. Keep up the good work

hehe, I have worked hard create that effect of the wiresand it worked perfectly - this build would be less in anything but black I think

as for the loop, I was half insane @ 4:30-5 am when putting it finally together (after 18hrs of straight modding/sleeving/assembly previous to that) and I was pleased to see when I got up the next morning that my psychotic-obsessive counterpart personality had done a good job on the tubing....

What SATA plugs have you used from the SSDs? I can't see them at all!

90 degree blue sata cables are in the motherboard ports and the rest of the length of the cables is obviously hidden behind the tray.

Very clean Ian, nice job!

Cheers Charles, I wish I only had chosen the ST 1000 like you - Nils is giving me crap () because this enermax PSU has Y splitters and non-modular which makes the wires tangle

you cant see any of that though

as for my dad, he reads your comments charles, and all others here on XS and he thanks you I am sure

Thankyou warlockza, I didnt know there were any Lian-Li employees on this board and it is nice to meet you, give Hank C by best regards

Hey lyl, glad to see your still here! thank you for the kind words

[Xion X2]

Sniipe, I can tell you're tired.

Go get you some sleep and rest up from that masterpiece.

I know it's probably a little frustrating to have such a fine work critiqued after all the blood, sweat and tears you've poured into it, but it's only because you're in an elite club where perfection is the new standard. That's a major accomplishment, and you should feel proud of that.
