Its here! My first Lian Li....
It really is diddy. Its about 15cm shorter than the Cheiftech its replacing, but its deeper and wider.
The obligoratry internal shot
Where the radiator is going to be mounted. As far back as possible, so that it touches the PCI slot, but still gives me enough room to route the tubeing and the IDE cable etc. It fits nicely.
Todays workshop. I managed to drill the holes for mounting the radiator and grill, and then swapped to the dremel. It died after about 5s...
So its going to be cut by a local metal fabriator for me tommorrow (we don't own a Jigsaw etc.)
Low Speed Yate Loons and 12v to 7v resistors arrived. At 7v, they really are silent.
The front of the case as it will be. I'm debating about wether to get a 3.5" bay card reader.
And finally, a quick mock up to see how the drives would fit.
A quick little update, I'm hoping to start leak testing the loop tonight
So, I took the case down to a local metalwork shoppy called "Ting-Ama-Jigs" who were very lovely and did the cut for a £5 which I didn't think was bad at all! It required a little filing and some sanding to get a nice finish.
I enlarged the holes on the rad-grill to 4mm so that it was easier to fit. The drill is older than I am.
And it fits! Wahoo! I quite like the silver bolts, but they might have to be swapped to black hex ones...
Lots of clearance to route the USB, Audio and IDE cable, which is nice.
