[LL V1000] Crystal Clear

[Laine]

Ugh. Your LianLi builds make me want my old case back. AH!

Haha, Lian Li's are always nice to have around.

Looks good Laine.
Are you able to lift that 120.1 up just a bit.
As it looks likethe air flow is blocked a bit by the other rad.
I am not sure but from what I can make out there seams to be some room above it?

Yeah, it will be/is raised up a good 3cm to ensure a nice air flow.

Man the skills involved in this build(and photography) is amazing

Thanks man!

Can't say it any better!!

BTW just came across this thread so have a question that goes back to your plex parts. Would like to know the what and how of the cutting and how you've managed to "polish" the cut lines? I'm a big fan of lexan and would like to do few things with but have never been happy with results. Seems to the only way to really do it right is with a milling machine or laser.

Also argee with your statement about the window "showing what you want to show". What else is needed in a window!

It's just some basic dremel work, it you want really clear cuts you can use a blowtorch, it will remove alot of cloudiness.

The only other tip I have is to be steady on the hand and letting the dremel do the cutting in it's own pace.

Thanks!

I'm still keeping track of this, loving it

Thanks!

those EK rads look a little thin, is there a big difference between them and the thermochills? I'll need a couple of 120.2's in the future, when I finally get settled into my pappaledighet

Yeah the EK's are out, they are really nice but too thin for this build.
I've got a nice new home for them though.

Pappaledighet is a underbar grej, I hope you'll have tid för ett nytt projekt very snart!

There's definitely a big difference. Although the EK rads look pretty good, they perform a bit worse than the Swiftech MCR, which should give you an idea of their performance. So tbh, I'd recommend going with the Thermochill or the MCR if you're looking for bang for buck.

Yeah, I'm going for some nicer rads in the future.

Laine, your photography has such a unique and interesting quality to it. Your use of DOF and lighting technique creates a warm result that really makes the subject matter and ultimately the images, very compelling.

Keep up the great work my friend.

Thanks man, to hear this from you is a truly great thing.

Laine, any chance of getting a closer look of how you mounted the himuros?

stunning work as always.

I just used the mounts for 5,25 and basically piled them on each other, since I havn't made a mount yet.


I'm both a bit sad and happy to inform you that this project is put on ice for now.
I will be back soon, and I promise you a build with more of everything, I'm making this into a monster among HTPC's.

I want to thank everybdy for participating in this build with our suggestions and comments, it means alot.
