My New Build Lian-Li v1200

[malkiewicz]

My old case



This build is replacing my 6 month old Antec 900 w/ the Thermaltake Big Water Cooling System... I'm not a photographer so my pictures will be limited..



As you can see my window broke I guess something heavy was placed on it while it was being shipped..



This shows you how lazy I am... When I printed out the template it scaled down, and I used those measurements for my initial markings... Instead of replacing the tape I re-measured, and marked over my old lines... Worked for me... Wow took 6 dremel disk to cut that hole - Took about 2 hours to cut & smooth all of the edges...



As you can see I installed a Koolance heat exchanger on the top of my case… I like the way it looks and I would have had a few issues if both the fans / rads were on the inside of the case (I’m going to replace the radiator later)… I also installed an additional radiator beside the hard drive tray… OOoo and it takes a very long time to polish aluminum – It took about 4 hrs to hand polish it... That dull finish looked terrible IMO… Well that’s about it for now… I’m waiting for all of my other parts to arrive… (Extra barbs, fans/controller, thermal paste, EK CPU back plate, ECT…) Damn I spent $1200 on this upgrade which included my Case, DDR3 Ram kit, pump, res, and so on…

I guess I’ll spend a few days trying to decide where to place my tubing…
