Default Project Insomniac

So i've been threatening this one for a while - its time to go to work on this Lian Li V2100, taken the ugly door off (and thats where its staying lol) and stripped some other bits too. I'm going to replace the upper/lower partition with a new idea and the 5.25" bays will be no more either !



Thermochill PA120.3 in the base and a double rad sideways mounted where the 5.25" bays are and that lip at the bottom removed, :001_cool:



There will be a new front plate where the bays used to be courtesy i hope of Toms (Chilled Pc's) cnc machine !



This door will be totally different (other door too ;-) )!



Next stage - strip more out and fabricate !!

Hehe, it is rather a large case - was considering living in it for a while !!
That bottom partition should look not so giganticus with the idea for a new partition i have ! Must admit, its a right pain in the hoop standing upside down to put the mobo in !!

So, i have 2 days off - first time in ages and i do loads of plans for my case and drawings for the machined parts - i have to cut some holes out of the beast with the Dremel - off sets i with a bag full of dremel etc in one hand and the case in the other and as usual its raining outside and the rather slippy fire escape out the back of my gaff mixed with some **** luck means that i need a new case for my project





Lots of other damage and the chassis is so twisted the doors wont fit on it - bah !!

Damn! I guess you could always hack it with a power saw and get a bench out of it.

I used a specially adapted gerbil shoe !
Its screwed guys - even if it straightened out it would be kinked - theres loads of scuffs too - would cost more to repair than buy a new one then theres the tidying up !! I'm going to fit a triple rad internally in my old friend below without being in the front top or bottom !
