Project Insomniac

[Colossous]

So i've been threatening this one for a while - its time to go to work on this Lian Li V2100, taken the ugly door off (and thats where its staying lol) and stripped some other bits too. I'm going to replace the upper/lower partition with a new idea and the 5.25" bays will be no more either !

Thermochill PA120.3 in the base and a double rad sideways mounted where the 5.25" bays are and that lip at the bottom removed, :001_cool:

There will be a new front plate where the bays used to be courtesy i hope of Toms (Chilled Pc's) cnc machine !

This door will be totally different (other door too ;-) )!

Next stage - strip more out and fabricate !!

Looking forward to this build, as i got exactly the same case (except for the colour, its black) here kicking about, thinking of some mods i could do too

 

[ionicle]

looks like a good start you have

will be watching this unfold..

So, i have 2 days off - first time in ages and i do loads of plans for my case and drawings for the machined parts - i have to cut some holes out of the beast with the Dremel - off sets i with a bag full of dremel etc in one hand and the case in the other and as usual its raining outside and the rather slippy fire escape out the back of my gaff mixed with some **** luck means that i need a new case for my project

Lots of other damage and the chassis is so twisted the doors wont fit on it - bah !! :nono:

Look on the bright side... Least there was no hardware in it.

Agrees with brooksie lol. Shame about the case mind... they are expensive too.. ouch.

Completely irrepeirable?

Brooksie??

Ye - nobody got killed hehe - Its screwed guys - even if it straightened out it would be kinked - theres loads of scuffs too - would cost more to repair than buy a new one then theres the tidying up !! I'm going to fit a triple rad internally in my old friend below without being in the front top or bottom !

 

[Mullet]

Nooooo!!!

I'm sure you'll come up with something to resurrect the case

 

[Toxcity]

Brooksie??

The insult!

It is a shame when things like this happen. Hope you can find another case to replace this one.

 

[Mr. Smith]

Chop it up and make a ssf case from all the bits? Or jump on it. Lots. I find breaking irrepairable things quite satisfying.

Seriously I bet you'll find a use for it

 

[Colossous]

Change of plans again, Mr Smith you're right - the V2100 is back on - i woke up at 4 30am and thought i have to use this case ! I have a plan that is that crap it might work out well hehe ! Updates later !

 

[Pat123]

haha sorry i just looked at the B.. Bungral.

Yesterday - disaster - today i woke up at 4 30 (its called Insomnia as thats what i've had for 2 months !!) and i looked at all the comments on the forums and thought " i have to do something with this mess of a case so here goes hehe !

How about a case/test bench style with a different colour idea ?

This is what i took away

Red, Green - kinda terracota colour and black in various stages -

Then after the soft shades and shadow effects i cut up a plastic file seperator for some jaggedys !

Tried it on the base 1st (would'nt be seen lol).

From yesterdays mess to something completely different hehe kind of case/test bench methinks ? yes, i think i have gone mad

Cool paint work, not the norm

 

[Toxcity]

Loving the red camo!

 

[monkey7]

That's some cool untraditional painting ^^

I like the idea of making it an open benchcase, puts the case to some good use. And the paintjob's just fun

 

[Mr. Smith]

Gotta be honest - wtf have you done!!!

 

[Colossous]

Gotta be honest - wtf have you done!!!

Hehe - i realise it wont be for everyone but its like a test bench come case and i really like the way it turned out after the mess that was yesterday !

 

[Mr. Smith]

Hehe - i realise it wont be for everyone but its like a test bench come case and i really like the way it turned out after the mess that was yesterday !

If you like it thats all that matters, plus a few people on here like it, just not my cup of tea
