Project Capella (Lian Li PC-P50R)

[Kibbler]

Gonna try a Shazza-style SAAYA.

@whuzabi
Thanks for your input whuzabi, I'll keep it in mind. I also like the contrast between black and the aluminum.

@aka_GK
Thanks ala_GK, it's not painted yet, that's still bare aluminum, but it looks a bit like white because of the lighting and contrast.

I wrote a poem. I entitled it, "The Most Awesome Poem":

Roses are red
Pirates are cool
This poem doesn't rhyme
I really like the mesh
like a lot

I quoted your poem to show just how awesome it is.

Thanks a lot man. Another vote in for how it is now.

(how's B_F coming along been waitin' for your next update...)

@woffen
Thanks woffen.

@RCG_Bex
Thanks RCG_Bex, will keep in mind your input as well!

@Alexandr0s
1st of all, thanks!. 2nd, I agree about the light at the bottom, noticed it as soon as I uploaded the photos from camera to computer. That light is coming in through the PSU opening so it should not be a problem once the PSU is in place. I hope...

@kgtiger
Alright thanks a lot Graeme, in response to some of your points...

-The front panel design stands apart from anything behind it. They're not supposed to match up to the fan hubs. The fans are not supposed to be visible.
-As for painting the fans to make them stand out, again...not the intention. If anything I'm considering painting them black. Blue is not in the books either as there is no blue in the entire rest of the build.
-Other than that, the front panel is still subject to changes. Since I will be laser-cutting a few more parts I have been tweaking the design aesthetically + functionally. It may be another week or two before I will have the design finished and the final panel in place though, so apologies in advance for the hiatus.

@nlancaster
Thanks nlancaster, the 6 holes are for LEDs.

@Liderc
Thanks for your inputs Liderc, in fact please leave those photochops up and I wouldn't mind if you made a few more. I have an easier time visualizing different colors with them.

@Wezly
Thanks as always Wezly, you have a good touch for being cognizant of the builder's intentions and aligning your suggestions to it, so your suggestions can sometimes be exceptionally helpful.

Fans...will not be painted. At least they won't be painted to stand out. Black maybe, just to make them NOT stand out.

The controller panel is coming along just fine...I will be able to show it soon and I think you'll like it.

@callen_1
Thanks man, your input logged and of course appreciated. I'm still pondering the color...or lack of color...

@Xion X2
Thanks Xion. I'm leaning towards your opinion. As it is now (well, not now now maybe, now it's only bare aluminum), or white, should fit nicely.

@C-J
Thanks C-J, like I said I'm leaning in that direction as well.

@dreamaxx
Yup white waterblocks wherever possible. I already have a Supreme HF white top. Whatever GPU block I get (only EK offer white, so it'll be EK) I will also pair it with a white acetal top.
