Lian Li a05 project of fail.

[Jeddy]

Well big news! Case back from powdercoat! It is absolutely beautiful.

Chilledpc Delivaaarrrs!

And the case- gorgeous! Tell me it doesn't make you jizz

And the first of 5 yates sleeving!

And final progress pics outside with a camera rest, enjoy!:

I'm sooooooooo tempted to have a A05B as my new case

Pure sex.

 

[daniSAUR]

Very impressive on such a small case. Excellent job, Jeddy!

And that powder coating is VERY drool-worthy!

Ty guys

Its been a bit of a struggle but I am on the home straight I reckon. There are ofcourse 101 little tiny jobs that are optional that would make the build even better but I dont think I have the time nor the skills to do them. Custom PSU cable lengths and "murdermod" style sleeving is one of the things that I'll have to drop for now, as I dont have a spare PSU and I would atleast like to keep the rig running if I was to mod the psu. Custom cable harnesses etc would all be awesome but I dont think I can do those at the moment.

man im soo jelous! fancy selling it? :worship:

 

[Socks]

who did the powdercoating dude???

im thinking of having mine done next week...

 

[Jeddy]

@ Socks it was tom @ chilledpc.co.uk- gave me a great deal- £43 returned for the powder job. All you gotta do is remove the majority of plastic parts etc, tom does the rest

Might be slightly more as I got mine done as part of a big powder run.

@ Ghosthud- I might be persuaded

 

[Socks]

mind if i post this just to show the amazingness of these cases???

this is mine with a full watercooling loop in it and 1 360mm rad...

I will remove if you want dude...

 

[Jeddy]

Nah its np mate.

A05's are mega flexible, mine is a pretty "standard" A05 in the overall scheme of things.

i think thats where they rule..you can simply gut it.. takes 2 min..and do whatever you want with it...its amazing...a nice neat little box..i think people are fed up of HEWGE cases...and something small like this is perfect...

EDIT: *thinks of starting a A05 club... XD

Thanks, always wanted to be fat

Nice case though Jedd, love them! The all black look is really nice.

ty all, leak tested the loop a little last night, after my mate played with my block the baseplate was off canter so 500lph of distilled was coming outta my loop lol.

All fixed up and appears to be fine, no leaks even with just a single cable tie on the barbs

 

[Jeddy]

Loop is fully tubed and leak tested.

Bit more progress:

Converted the slim yate to open corners :

And sleeved another yate and 3pin Y splitter :

If my heatshrink arrives tomorrow I can sleeve the last yate and a few other bits and bobs.

 

[Jeddy]

Another update- luckily post came today, so I got the few bits and bobs I needed

Got the top fan mounted with m3x14mm bolts from modelfixings.

Feet also came:

and mounted along with dust filters

Fans mounted using m4x30mm bolts from modelfixings:

And now some final progress pics:

Thats all for now.

Looking good jedd, would look better with black feet though IMO!
