can't wait to see what you'll do with this :O

I have a Lian Li V-351B myself. One tiny case!

Good luck man, looks like you've got everything ready

[prava]

Where the hell are you going to mount the two dual rads? I know you can put one on the inner front fans but, two? plus 4 HDDs?
I'm really curios and looking forward to your build as my has been idling for a loooong time...

Allways been a Fan of SFF cases, Specially of the V35x Series. I Never had the guts to get one because of the lack of skill and time to get all my stuff (e.g. 4HDDs + 5870) into one of these so I got myself a case on the other side of the "size/weight" scale => 800D

Got some stuff in!

Watercool Laing Top

EK Coolstream 240 + Noiseblocker BlacksilentPro fans



The NB Fans are really great as they come with detachable Cables; great sleeving and are very quiet (inaudible under 1000 rpm; much better than my old S-Flex which were VERY noisy over 800 rpm on a RAD

finished my first cutout 2 days ago:



Slimline Slot-In



more pics will follow tomorrow

small update; added a slot in dvd and mounted the front radiator

[nlancaster]

Sweet.

Where did you get that slim sata adapter? I have only ever seen the kind that come with cables already.

[generics_user]

i got it from a local store here in vienna; the Sata drive is mounted with some velcro tape

mounting rails for my HDD cage:

igus Drylin Mini-Gliders

i hope that they arrive on monday or tuesday together with my Bitspower rotaries and the new motherboard so i can get my testloop up and running this week

[Baulten]

Nice stuff. I'm building my GF a computer with the V351... but I'm not going nearly ambitious as you! Just a single 120.2 in the front with some GT's and a watercooled CPU (Athlon II 620) and GPU (HD 5770). Looking forward to seeing how you do this all!

[generics_user]

first try on the HDD cage:



stainless steel plate wasn't cut properly so i'll have to do another one (3mm too large on each side)

[SSN774]

Clean cuts, perfect fitting, waiting for more updates. 2 XT240 are more than enough I think.

[generics_user]

did the frontpanel cut and some minor rework on the backplate + internal layout:

i also managed to squeeze in a 2nd 2.5" disk for a total of 4x 3.5" and 2x 2.5"

[Wezly]

I like this. Dual-rad mATX cube with loads of hard drives....

[Oli4v]

nice work, this is lookin' interesting, everything depends on how big you see the space you get !

[generics_user]

new mounting rails for the HDD cage:

new board + rest oft the hardware used:

Original Backplate retapped to M4 threading:

just finished the HDD "cage":

HDD + PSU test fit:









i'll ditch the second 2.5" mounting spot to get some more room for cable routing

[eKirts]

lookin good so far

will be interesting to see everything packed in there....

with all that small space you should try "hardmount tubing" (.....i think that's what its called....) with some rotaries,
that would look stellar... just an opinion :P

will be following along

[sniperbob]

very neat sliding HDD mount you have going on there.

i'll stick to tygon 7/16" ID as i dont have 100€ to burn on fittings; this money is better invested in a new aquaero to control the pump and have a hard shutdown ability (in case of pump failure) and 6 more noiseblocker fans

[Red-5]

I like these type of builds with loads of gear packed into a small case. It must take a lot of careful planning just to work out where everything will go in that limited space.
I really like what you have done so far mate. This is going to be an excellent build.
