The main idea of this mod is just to mod my current V1000 Plus II to suit my WC unit..

Gonna start-off with some pic of my casing..

After some deep cleaning of Mr.Dust




well the plan is to hang the raddy on this 120MM fan with a customize fan shroud.. as i still not ready to chop a hole for the tubing to go thru.. i will b using a U-shape alu n cut it to fit my raddy + fan.. teh probs is.. where cn i get it in kajang...

My WC Parts..
Self-Made Reservoir.. Currently still not yet drill any hole..



Swiftech Apogee on the run..




Raddy..
From this..


To this.. Sanded off those paint..


Undercoat with white.. Gonna do more sanding..


Please provide me with lotsa lotsa suggestion n point of view to improve my project..
This project will take a long time to complete.. as i need to plan out everythin properly so that i wun spoilt dis casing..

i need a suggestion here..
i hav 3 way in mind on how to mount the raddy :

1) to mount at the bak of teh 120MM fan holes..
2) to mount above the casing + add on a rad grilzz
3) to mount at the place where the HDD rack is..

if i using mounting opt 1 i need to drill 2 hole at d bak.. end up making the PSU cacat abit.. else if i m using mountin opt 2 i need also to cut out a bigger piece of alu n since my mobo placement is BTX-style.. the raddy placement will disable me to plug in my PCI Tv card.. lastly if i m usin mountin opt 3 i need to mod a HDD cage for 5.25 and if there is future upgrade to the PSU.. e.g like the size of enermax noisetaker 2.. teh raddy will come into the way..

hopefully sum1 out da cn gimme a better suggestion though..
thanks.

whooo... i like the name.. V-licious.. hahah

a lil update on the HDD mount location. btw.. i hav oledi decided to put d raddy at da ori location of da HDD..
mount it in da 5.25 Bay.. sori bout d blur pic.

Great idea there. There's also another way to do it but it requires more cutting n delicate work. U can mount the radiator right on the front panel. It involves using the lower 3 ROM slots n existing front 120mm intake. U hafta cut away a lil bit of the divider plate between teh 3 ROM slots n front 120mm fan. Then u can fit the 2x120mm rad there. That way u'll b getting lotsa nice fresh air from the front.

yupe u just not cool d rad but at same time regain nice air from it...
nice idea there....
or u mayb hav another ideas?

thanks 4 d complement.. i've tat plan in mind too.. but i'm not tat pro la.. i scare later teh cutting results will really look bad.. btw.. i saw tat idea from hollowbean v2000 wc mod..

hahaha the current 1 is da best i can have..

i have a question here

how u do avoid dust accumulates in your psu? this type of case got holes below the psu slot for the psu to suck air in, for sure dusts will be suck into the case as well, rite?

what are your method to prevent this from happening? any filter for it with specific dimension (Length X Depth) to cover it?

this is the only thing that holding me back from getting this type of case (which places their psu at the bottom)

don't tell me to put fan filter on the psu's fan because although dusts can get into the psu but it still can get into the case

so tell me Thread Starter/any other forumer using/any other forumer once used (i'm waiting for Ianho ) this case

common convince me to get this case

Eh? Hollowbean's V2000 is using the rad at the front like how I mentioned? Cool, I totally forgot about it. Lemme go dig back in the old threads to haf a look.






Dont worry about the dust in PSU thingy ler. Just get urself a can of compressed air. Then jsut blow out the PSU every once in 2 months or 3 months. That's all u need for keeping teh PSU clean in the V series. zer0717 now owns the Red Enermax I used in the V series, u can ask him how clean the PSU looks like when I passed it to him. Like new, and that's only with air cleaning.

Abang Ianho how much a can of air compressor cost and usually u got it from where... ??

Besides that how long usually it last before out of breath (gas).... ?

ya i also wanna know

c'mon tell us

The canned air can get from Ace hardware. There's 2 brands available locally. Ace brand n Ambersil. Ace is rm20, Ambersil is rm40. I prefer Ambersil as it's twice the size of the Ace, also a lot more air pressure to clean better.
How long it lasts? Loooong time unless u got like Incredible Hulk fingers that simply press the trigger.

specifically?
the last time i tried finding in mid valley cannot find, maybe i dig not deep enough

ok ok thanks Uncle ... will look for one @ midvalley there.. .

well actually.. to be frank.. when i disassemble completely my casing.. i cn c dust accumulation all around the casing.. but d funny stuff is that.. i dun c any dust accumulation at the PSU fan


This post has been edited by inteluser: Jun 10 2007, 04:46 PM

dat's bcoz ur casing is full of holes la, easy for dusts to get in 360

Cutting the divider plate let the 240 rad fits in really save up lotsa space. but the front cover must do some mod, make it to a mesh hole type like ianho did, really help alot increasing the airflow
Here's a closer look.

yo bro thanks for d input..
now i get the real idea ady.. gotta take out the rack n redo it.. i saw ur pic thinking od doin it.. but dunno how.. nw wit da pic.. i think i noe wut shud b done d..
thanks

Ya, dats exactly what I had in mind. Then just add sum ROM slot cover mesh mod like what I did last time n u'll haf lotsa air flow from teh front.

btw uncle.. u noe ar wer cn get those rom slot covers.

if u mean rom slot cover mesh... it's modded ler..
normal ones can get at ATE

if got dis type 1 gud la..

nice front panel all mesh mod all fan into the mesh area

Yeah, more mesh, more dust.

The single slots u can mod like what I did for my V1200 last time. If u want to buy then can get the 3 slot size HDD cage at the bottom of the pix. It's called an EX33. Can get from ATE at about rm150 IIRC. Just remove the HDD cage n u can use just the front plate as an intake plate.

thanks 4 d idea.. but i think i'll try to mod like wut u did b4..

Hehehe. Yeah it'll b much cheaper to mod urself. That EX33 expensive.

All finished or active worklogs bumped to avoid deletion.

Well after a long while of delay.. finally i've get myself started to cont the mod jobs.
After having the right idea from unc ianho & hollowbean, i finally decided to mod the raddy in front of the rom-bay. after weeks of planning on how to cut.. finally..

The case being wash-out-all-clean after undergoing a rather V-licious makeover - the cutting & filing & sanding jobs.


A lil' peep into the bay that i've cut out.


Goin down under..


Angle from inside the case..


Guess wut.. dis was d front divider tat was cut out.. the left side was cut out using saw till my hand bengkak.. .. then later i gave up n decided to use an angle grinder on the other sides. .


On the other hand.. i had modded my DDC pump top for a better performance.



Lastly.. a teaser of my work area.

ohh .. god

there goes the front divider and hdd cage ...

hahaha .. nice mod indeed .... anyway bro the edge cannot sanded down to perfection ? I know there's little room within to work with ...

but it still looks good ....

Ur pics r too big. Pls resize.

thanks bro.. i tried to sand. but it's very hard to get into those edges.
there do hav a lil room but my hand's fat.

resized. Sori

Neway. few more picture updated. thanks

Holy cow! U cut the divider plate with grinder? How'd u get that monstrous thing inside that small area man?

i cut d plate from d front of the rom slot there. whereas i invert d grinder disc to cut d plate tat is joining to d back 1..

LOL! Crazy lar u. Using a grinder on a Lian Li is like using Atom bomb to kill a fly.

ur topic title states "Updated 23/7 Post #39, V1000 Plus II on WC"

23/7 is my bday...and today is NOT my bday. wrong month la bro

and why does ur work area table looks as if its bengkok downwards?

lolx.. paiseh2..
hahaha tat is a table or my old skool P3.. since d pc was oledi MIA.. so i use it as my workplace lo..

great job u did
no reservior, using a open mouth pipe to fill water.

btw, where's ur home made reservior?

This post has been edited by diners: Jul 10 2007, 05:19 PM

hehehe.. d reason y i change to a t-line instead of a reservoir becuz i need more room to work with.

But why the length from pump to block so long baaa?

This post has been edited by almostthere: Jul 10 2007, 07:48 PM

cuz if i shorten it the 3/4 tubing at d pump there will kink..
tat d shortest i figured out so that the 3/4 tube wun kink.

inteluser... wher u bought the T-join??? is it 1/2" ID??? looks very nice

uglyvamp. during his last bbs. it's 1/2" OD.

search for tubing and piping supply shops. I saw one which has embedded steel coil to prevent kinking and is meant for oil tubings. Tokawa brand I think. Costs RM12/= a meter in melaka

thanks bro 4 d info..
mind to tell me which in melaka tat selling those tubes ar ?
thanks
