Very, very nice mod but it's only practical for those already using a Lian Li. Coz if u buy the aluminum ROM cover itself is already rm20-30. Then another rm20-30 for the electronics it'll b about rm60 for the mod. For rm60 u can buy a ready made fan controller d. But this is an excellent mod for all Lian Li owners coz they dont need to buy the alu cover.

ay, can't i juz use my silver plastic 5" bay cover? any pics dat i can refer to ar?

yeah . u can use or plastic 5" bay cover...

maybe i will post up mine, when my battery is fully charged

here is mine

Yeah sure you can. Any ROM cover should do it....either aluminium or plastic. You just need some creativity to make it work. I dont see why this mod is only practical for Lian Li owner.

Doesnt necessarily need be silver. Black & silver even nicer match for me

Or if the cover is white, can use black. Functionality is more important after all, rite?

No lar. What I meant was that everybody was loving how it looked. The only reason it looks so nice on hollowbean's mod is coz it's using aluminum ROM cover n aluminum knobs mar. So what I meant was that, for it to look as good it's only practical for Lian Li owners. Otherwise, if u like the alu look then it's better to just buy a ready made alu fan controller. Sry for the confusion.

oho, thx 4 straighten things up.. i tot itz not advisable to use the plastic plates compared to those alu plates.... since itz a DIY kinda thingy, anything goes ryt? well, i'm aware dat the plastic ones wudn't look as MACHO as the alus... i'll try to slave my plastic ones later on then..

guys. you all can actually buy those alu plates from ATE its abour RM5/piece, i bougth once b4.sometimes they got extra plates took off from new installation, try drop off there and ask them. RM5+RM20 still a good deal for a cheapskate fan controller. ^^

Wah so cheap 1? On the ATE price list, they list the covers at rm18! If really rm5 then it's damn worth it.

Making a fan switch on a plastic bay should be easy enuf as long as you got the right tools. Have to be a even drill among all holes.

@ hollowbean

Wow, didnt see this b4.....really nice mod

aww.. need to built fan controller like dis to my vizo and delta fans.. too noisy..

Wohh...

Can those alu plates be used in other brands of casing?
Such as my Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570 casing?

The original 5.25 cover plate is plastic...

wow.. looks like straight from the retail box..

hmm anyway can you give the list of items you bought.. the resistors , pcb and stuff... i wanna try out..

nice.....can give the item spec. . that will be helpful.

i think it won't fit cause Lian Li's 5" bay cover is different from other casing, their attachments method is different unless u the kind who like DIY, can make ur own holes on em
