Project Capella (Lian Li PC-P50R)

[nlancaster]

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

@nlancaster
They're not from Pad2Pad. I ordered them from Mouser, Digikey or similar should also have them. You need to go in and look for what you need.

I understand that part. What I meant was where did you get the info for layout inside the Pad2Pad software? Did you layout all the connectors by hand?

[gmat]

You should think of submitting your front plate photos to Lian Li. If i worked there i would totally sponsor your whole build, so many people will buy P50R's just because of it.

Updates updates!!!!

[dreamaxx]

Definitely the best build ever.

[Ajhayter]

Sweet mother of balls thats awesome.

I was just going to watercool one of these but now I realise I could do so much more while I'm at it...

Damn you Kibble my bank balance is not going to like you :P

[C-J]

That Looks Amazing BroO!!!

[Ajhayter]

Just an idea,

If the HDD is going towards the back under the top shroud, is there room for a slimline slot loading optical drive? Cut a slot in the plastic shroud just above where the red lcd screen is.

Could be an interesting effect (might do on my own case later) but as far as I can tell you aren't planning on an optical drive anyway :P

(p.s. whats the 3 way adapter on the pump? I don't recognise the symbol)

[Kibbler]

Thanks guys.

Here are some photos I forgot to update.

I like how the red from the ASUS Maximus is very similar to the red on the case... you can see the difference between the reds by looking at the Dominator fins. GREAT choice in motherboard!

[Kibbler]

Thanks Scott, actually it's a Rampage.

[ScottALot]

I always get the two mixed up... I just say whichever word comes to mind (Rampage or Maximus) when I see one of the two.

[penguins]

i just read this whole thing and OMFG!!! this is possibly the coolest and most thought out build i've ever seen. I like your style i'm similar in my aproach.. well not as cool as you lol not by a long shot. keep up the hard work, looks ****ing awesome.

+1 to this...I couldn't said it better

May I ask where you got those allen head bolts?

What size tubing are you using?

[marxviper]

whats the purpose of PCB?

[ScottALot]

Give me an M
Give me a D
Give me a P
Give me a C

What does that spell?! Freakin' Project Capella!!!

[josk1]

whats the purpose of PCB?

i'd say better cable management!?

[juanP]

how much have you spent in this project till now

awesome setup!!!

[Torks]

Hey Kibbler,

I've been admiring your build since the beginning, its coming together so well. Congrats!

Are you anodizing the pieces as you go? How did you find a place willing to anodize small pieces in small batches?

You mentioned refinishing the brushed anodized pieces yourself to match the Lian Li finish. Did you just use a fine grit sand paper in one direction? How did this effect the anodizing?

[Fyrelith]

Awesome build you have going here, I see MDPC in the near future lol

[h20xide]

Sorry if I missed it but where did you get the white Acetal top for the HF? Looks so nice

[shazza]

I think the white acetal top is available from EK - not sure if it was a special order, but I think I remember seeing them a while ago.

Kibbler - I'm behind in catching up on worklogs and missed the last few photos you put up. I continue to be in awe. This is coming out so well - your planning and patience is really paying off. Also, your photography just gets better and better as well. Truly inspirational.

[Ced-G60]

Pfiou, 20 Pages later, am done ready (serve me for not keeping up to date :p)

I love you work ! So many great idea used in this, am so going to steal that PCB (if I ever figure out how-to lol)

Keep up the nice work

[Rukks]

Love the ideas used here. I really like the color scheme, Im gonna do sometihng similar just without the white. Wish I could afford a R3E.

I might use the wiring scheme for your circuit board but dont know were I could get a red laminate like that...only got green, yellow, and black available to me.

I couldn't have said it better myself


I've been following this build since the start... logging on every day just hoping for an update.

Hoping for more updates very soon, can't wait to see the 100% finished product.

[CptDreadFlint]

With all the innovation you bring to the playground and how you manage to capture that beautifully in your photography has made me a really big fan of your work. Arr and Thanks as always, Kai.
