long time since our last posting .
here's one of our quite recent project.


Major job is top cutting for the 3x 120mm Radiator.

Water cool for CPU & GPU.

E6600 @ 3.6ghz stable

8800GTS 320mb


I luv this roomy case, the top still has plenty of room for additional mod to house harddrive brackets 10harddrives confirm no problem but ..this job just for normal gaming & 2x harddrives.


However, i'm unable to post a super long list of around 20++ images of our work in progress thus, u may have to click on the other link for even more detailed pictures & contents.

Good fun modding this one. Especially the case, being the grandfather of Aluminium casing !! Lian Li PC-71

grandfather of aluminium casing
Lianli PC-71 full tower. so roomy inside, infact interior is bit more spactious than the bit too common TJ-07 we've setup nowadays.



mask out the radgrill's cutting area


mark out the radgrill's cutting area


rotary tool cutting, dont ask me why i dont use jigsaw.
i'm better with rotary tool as more detailed cutting is required for tight corners


cut out. b4 we file to more precise shape.

filed down, then smoothen with sandpaper, finalize with black marker to touch up the exposed original aluminium color ( silver )


last few images here show the 360mm radiator mounted inside.









fitted with 3x Delta 120mm 3bladed fan. rated at 0.45amp, around 3000rpm.


the back of casing with the extra extra extra lot of cables from the silverstone fan controller & temp monitor, psu cables, chasis front intake fan cables, etc.


done with some wire management. if u've better ideas how to manage the wires coming from every direction then pls tell me ... if not cable tie is the best solution.

8800GTS

ceramique applied on gpu core. not fully spread out yet anyway.


this is the super hot memory controller. is this called memory controller ?


8800GTS 320mb pci-e vga card
ramsinks on the memory & a custom sized heatsink for the additional memory controller.


i couldn't get something with more fins, and so this is the best i can find.
thick base, though lesser fins.



here i slap on plenty of mini heatsink on every possible hot chips as this entry level P5NE-SLI Asus mobo doesn't come with heatpipe design like the more expensive models.



mini heatsinks all around ..


additional 60mm fan on the nortbridge heatsink. NB gets super hot !


Front sidepanel open for clearer view.
Sidepanel was custom shape cut & not yet ready at that point of time.


really luv the top view myself. the radgrill has big gaps, excellent exhaust for the chasis & radiator.
