...and whats the budget?
you can low end (still nice but less expensive) with the case and put your money into the rest of the hardware. I have built several SFF PC's into the APEVIA X-QPACK $60 after rebate right now. It is not my favorite case but it is easy to work in.
I like the LIAN...
my cable company laid new cable this month to where I am. to make it "faster" supposedly...
anyway we got new IP addresses, went from 12. whatever to 173. whatever. I live in California and now show up as being from France. lol, this sorta messes with the net, google / amazon /ect were all...
I got the SATA cables from Voyermods.com
Everything else from New Egg :)
The cables are wrapped in cable sleeving from the local automotive store. Not tape - it is plastic.
tho...have used tape before :) but this plastic sleeve stuff is cheap and looks good IMO.
TY I had to order those long Sata cables too :) When I made it I realized that .. um, there is no way that the standard cables were going to reach all the way to the bottom of the case....the long cables are cool anyways, they are sleeved black in stead of those red or orange ones :)
EDIT: as...
Upgraded from my smaller LL case to the bigger one. Have 2 Raptor drives and a storage drive in the bottom. Replaced fans with blue fans....and upgraded to the new CPU fan and a second video card. LL is still my fav case :) I still need to add the case handles but have been busy at work :(
I...
Not so much of a Mod as a FIX.
So my wifes Pc had this 5950 Ultra in it....and the fans stopped working.
I (and my friend) did this to fix it, and was happy to see it works!!
I ended up buying her a 6800GS to put in her PC (it is mucho nice) and I guess I will put this 5950 into a PC...
Hella better than a square tan PC !!!!!!!
1. You built it = awesome
2. You like it = awesome
3. Maybe each time your GF sees it she will get horney? ....tricky
Oh and thanks :)
It was sorta scary doing it....once applied, it would have been a major pain to pull off and reapply if it went on wrong the first time.
I don't know if it was really needed, the system was so quiet to start with, but I do like having it mostly black inside instead of...
The graphics card is wonderful, I went from a 6600GT to the 7800GTX, and oh boy the diff is great.
Did I miss somethings about Ballistix Ram? Is it bad? I have built 8 systems with it over the last year. No issues with it so far. I had thought the Ram was pretty darn good....
I spurged...
Really? Dang, I have three computers using Ballistix Ram, none of them have had any issues? This one has the Tracer version of the Ram, to the touch with PC on, they are not hot. I leave my PC on 24/7 (various reasons) and when I touch each part inside - only the 7800 GTX is warm.
I am off...
My Lian Li Case:
AMD 64 3500 - 2 Gig Ballistix tracer ram - 7800 GTX - MSI MB - 74 GB Raptor ect = 3DMark03 score: 16752
The whole thing is uber cool (temp) and I love the case!
I did a so-so job with the sound dampening pads IMO - but she is pure quiet :)
Still want to put in a...
Been what 6 months since I was last here :)
Yes I did water cool the FragBox, used a aqua gate mini, and it is all inside of the case.
Only the CPU is water cooled, lost interest in the project :)
I mounted the aqua gate inside - cut a hole in the top of the case....
It works fine...
Oh, well, I am still going to try it. :)
Worse case I put it into a different PC if I do not like results.
I am also going to cut the face plate and add my "handle" to it, so it looks something like this.
I just ordered this:
Cooler Master AQUAGATE CPU Liquid Mini Cooling System - Mini R80 (RL-MUA-E8U1) with 80mm Fan for Socket 939
to put into my Frag Box. Cost with tax and shipping: $114
When you are looking at the FB from the front.....I am moving the hard drive holder to the right and...
I updated my site showing you where I put it in the case.

Did it in hurry sorry the pictures are not better.
Also:
I have had no luck finding them (the fans) on line today either. If you want one I can send you one...
Kay, just finished building another Frag Box 2!
Went smoother, each time goes better. Built the hardware side in under 40.
Looks good. Only I finally broke that blue light tube thing...just put in a different neon light.
I acually built one with all red neon lighting, last week. Looked...
1. Chill out on this thread, the posts make you all seem .... anyway....I had hoped to see Pictures and PC related remarks, not this sorta %$^&#$.
2. If you have one, show pictures of it!
3. Some one tell New Egg to get them back in stock so I can get one!!!!!!!!
4. I love all you...
Yes, and I added a cross flow blower into mine, really loud! But stays cool!
I have put 6 together so far, all were pain in butt to assemble since they are small, but end result is ...so nice!
They seem to really get hot inside!
Thats why I added a crossflow fan.
And I am kidding with you.....
.......those who bath more often do not have to clean glass much. :p
Honestly, I have had these desks for about 2 weeks? now, and I ran a cloth over them a few times. I am real picky about dust and such so it would not matter the material of the desk...I wipe...
These are the desks I got:

Hey now that I see it, I like the mod. It looks perfect on the PC.
You see where the connector for reset switch is on your motherboard?
Run wire from it to front of your case and cut a hole in your case if you want, connect wire to reset button. I'll edit in a sec with a picture.
You have old system with wire in it that you can pirate for new system?
EDIT...
Hehhehehe, last time I was in auto shop store I saw one of those and thought about doing that. It looks cool, does it really help?
They make smaller filters that might work with 120 or 80 mm fans.
Nice.
Can you have too many?
:D
I have 5 desktops and one server in the works = 6
I also have 3 laptops.
Total for now = 9 computers.
We (wife and kids) all game, and I host games alot, and...hell I built them....this is what I spend my money on, building computers....
:D
