As a few of you know I'm making a switch to a new case (as soon as I get my mobo back that is) and here are a few pics of my baby as it progreses...

    ah no wonder ...no front case fan right?
    I almost got one but I got the 6077 instead.
    If you get time shoot some more pics please ...I really like that case.
    Also ...what wc equipment are you using?

    It has front fans, 2 to be exact, the inlet is on the bottom. I'm using a TC-4 CPU block, Maze4 GPU block, ViaAqua pump (for right now), 2x80mm Swiftech rads and an Xoxide res.

    I've mounted a Delta 120mm 129cfm fan in the roof and it runs off the fan header on the PSU and I've got 2 CoolerMaster 80mm blue led (not so) silent fans on the rads blowing inwards and I've put filters on the rads to help keep the dust down.

    If you'll look at the rads in the first pic you'll see the foam in the front of the cores.

    Oh yeah now the case is totally familiar now that you post the front of it. That's the only color it ever came in if I recall and quite pricey generally but not compared to most lian li cases of that type. I always wanted that case.

    Looks very schweet I might say. :thumbsup:

    So why are you sucking hot air from the rads into the case ...seems like you should do just the opposite? :scratch: Idunno just seems illogical to me and you wouldn't need the filters except for maybe noise reduction but it is more restrictive. I think you have an awesome project going there.

    I'm pulling cool air into the rads to stop from pulling warm air into 'em, besides with the restrictive nature of the front fan setup I'd be pulling quite a vacuum with the rads pulling case air out and with the blowhole.

    I'm running the filter material to help keep the rads from getting clogged with dust and to promote case cleanliness.

    Thanks guys and Thrax, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think these cases are super sexy but I'm happy you like my wc rig though :D

    Watercooling is a surefire way to make me begrudgingly like even a p4 rig. ;D

    You should redo some of those out of focus pics. Good looking case though.

    Well, it's done...finally.
    There are different versions of the oof pics, some I can't redo because I'm not tearing everything back down again but I did get some other closeups.

    That's about it, I've got more pics but they're just different views of the same areas.

    Thanks...after waiting since the 23rd of December to get it running I'd have to say it was well worth the wait.
