This is my first picture thread and I have alot of pics to follow, sorry 56kers.
I had originally wanted to post a worklog, which this will be of sorts. I ended up working on this think none stop everyday after my classes were over though and never did that. I will attempt to leave comments of what I was thinking at the time and why I chose to do things that I did. If you have any questions about what I did or about your own mod on a V300 that you want to ask feal free, and I will do my best to give you a quick answer.
I was originally tired of my gigantic Gigabyte 3D Aurora and wanted to downsize my pc because I like to have it on my desk. I was browsing around the forums when I saw a postthat said LianLi had was coming out with a new matx case. I had never owned a Lian-Li but new of their incredible quality. I was originally going to buy the Silverstone SG01, but once I was the V300 I knew what I had to get. I love the anodized black finish it has, and the perforated front with silver accents just looks amazing.
I watercool all my pcs (my new project is somewhat of an exception, that will be a future thread), and the V300 was not going to be an exception. I set out to find a radiator that would fit. I stumbled upon a new series that Black Ice had put out; the gt series. They are very thin and have flat end tanks. I found a diagram of the dimensions of the gt240 model and decided that it would fit (barely as I would soon realize). I searched out all my other parts for the build and went ahead and placed my orders.
Don't confuse the timeline of my purchases as hasty. I drew numerous drafts of what would go where and how to fit this or that. Somethings that I did happened on the spur of the moment, but the parts I chose were entirely intentional.
My parts list:
V300 case
slimline dvd-rw (slot loading)
slim ide converter pcb
4 fan controller
2 x 120mm vantec ball bearing fans
1 x 80mm vantec ball bearing fan
1 x silverstone radial fan
Radgrillz Brick 2 x 120mm
1 sheet of AC Ryan modders mesh
1 Blank black Lian Li V2000 side panel
4ft 7/16" tygon tubing
hose clamps
DD GPU block
Alphacool DDC Ultra pump
Swiftech Storm CPU block
...the rest are normal pc components (cpu, mobo, etc...)
