my little lian li project

[funkysnair]

well ive bought my self a lian li (secondhand) case with the intentions of doing a few mods-some pics

with some new liquid cooling stuff

the black tubing is what ive ordered

gloss red anti kinkcoils

dual rad

2 single rads

there are also 4 red led 120mm fans going in along with some red cathodes

the idea is, im going to mount the dual rad on the top which means i have to cut out some of the case (already done) and purchase a fan grill (already fitted)

then the interior is going to get painted black (going with the black and red theme again)

there will be a dual loop going in there, one loop for cpu and other for the 2 gpu's....

ill update with pics as i progress

naked and ready for degreasing and sanding

3 coats of primer and a quick spray of black to test, followed by more light sanding

run out of paint now dam it

You using a mcp-350 or 355 pump? And what kinda waterblock you gonna be usin?

 

[funkysnair]

pump is the laing ddc1 12v but i will also be using my swiftech laing d5 vario mcp655...

the ddc1 pump is known for the preasure it generates so i could use that for my 2 gpu blocks

water block is a d-tek fuzion with quad nozzle pack

 

[just a noob]

be sure to get an aftermarket top for your ddc 3.2/3.1(thats they're called in america)

looked into it but its not a necessity, would consider it if i had multiple blocks but i think it will be ok for time being...

Looks good man!

What did you paint the inside with?

Looks good man!

What did you paint the inside with?

full tin of grey primer, 2 tins of matt black and some of that clear stuff to protect it from scratches...

the case was second hand and its not in the best condition but it will do-

look at the modded side panel the dude sent me.......

pure tragic attempt

 

[Ramodkk]

Hahaha, it happens.

Did the paint stick to the aluminum?

yeh, what you do is

clean the metal work
sand it down
prime it
paint it
plasti-coat it

 

[Ramodkk]

Oh, you even said it in the first post. Nevermind, lol.

Did you use regular sand-paper? Must have taken a lot of time no?

just light grit sand paper to make it a little rough for the primer to grip onto then you sand the primer down and give it another coat...

its easy really!

 

[Ramodkk]

Ok, cool.

I sanded the side panels on mine, I just thought that the inside would be harder since it's not a flat surface.

 

[funkysnair]

been waiting for a week now for some "1/2 tubing from overclockers.... dam it!!!!!!!!!

everything is painted and waiting Grrrrrrrrr

 

[funkysnair]
