Just a painted, watercooled, poorly cabled Lian-Li Rocketfish........



Started by drilling out the exhaust vent.


Painting done.....awaiting parts.


Most parts installed....leak testing just finished on WC loop.


First boot after complete assembly.


Windowed side panel installed.


Bling pic #1.


Bling pic #2.


No longer a Rocketfish.....something else instead......


Looks like....could be.....


Yep, it's now a Jaguar.......of all things!




Not much of a mod......just paint mostly. But it's pretty quiet, fairly "neat", and somewhat different....maybe.

@ Jessica, simply beautiful.

Very nice work indeed.


Guys i should have the final stages of persephone done. Finally got my 2nd ATI card back from RMA. So i should be posting soon.

 

[Jessica69]

Thanks aigomorla! I do greatly appreciate that! Wasn't a lot of "work" involved.....but in the end, it sure seemed like I did a lot!

 

[DaQuteness]

Small question: Jessica, when you painted the motherboard backplate, did you fill in the screw holes or did you just forced them back into place? I'm modding an Antec Sonata III, actually i think i'm the first idiot to cut this case model I couldn't find any mods for it except that acrylic side panel on another thread. It's not just paintjob for me, i'm developing a new way of storing the hdd's. I'm trying to earn my way here through hard, unique work.

By the way, superb job with the case! Love it, honestly! It's the details that make a great work, not the chopping! Great idea with the golden interior, 9/10 for that idea and since i am a detail-freak, new things count for me (clean up the wiring and it becomes a good honest 10).

 

[Jessica69]

No, didn't cover the holes, but it wasn't difficult at all getting the mb standoffs into their proper holes. Then again, Lian-Li provides this neat little nut driver for screwing in the standoffs, and that made it very easy. But the paint isn't very heavily applied, so the holes really didn't get filled up much at all.

I'd do more with the wiring, but there's like no room or place to hide them.....no space at all behind the mb tray.....so they're pretty much where they're going to be......alas.

Oh, and thanks for the compliment....I tried!

Hi, no TJ06's....? Here is current rig minus PSU after build with spec's in sig.

Inside

Just about to pull the trigger on upgrade

Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP

Corsair XMS2 DHX, TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX, 2x2GB,
Asus EN9600GT/HTDI/512M Video Card, GeForce 9600 GT
Artic Freezer 7 Pro

The ASUS should bring the CPU socket to centre in the tunnel for the AC7 nicely!

Might have to put in some neons, the other boxes look real sweet tricked out with light!

Water cooling is awesome! I have my E6750 OC to 3.6 GHz with idle temps of 25 C. After 2 hours load my temps don't go past 44 C. The best part is that it's very quiet!

The water cooling newbie guide by Aigomorla really helped. Thanks guys for your help.

I love sleepers over the big bling bling, well, most of the time. Good looking case there
Can I ask what you have in that Mazda box in the corner of one of those pictures there?

those force flex cables suck for trying to do a clean build, but the rest looks good.

You must be refering to Brody's, In his post he mentioned that the pics weren't finished product, I love the flex cables, done right they look like Ruby's. I was going to link her pics but they ain't there!
