Well... finally a proper build for myself!

I was scounting eBay at some stupud hour last weekend and happened to come accross a bargain on a case... i'm sure you can guess what it is from the pictures!

As the thread title suggests, the name of the build is un-confirmed at the moment so I welcome all ideas / suggestions!

I've put a poll into the thread to find out peoples preference on colour schemes so please vote and comment if need be!

To get the ball rolling.. here are my "teaser" pics!






here's my new sexee fans!

@ Mods
Has the "Polls" option been removed or am I just being numb and can't see it?

I am subbed.

For the name maybe " Liquid Li " . As in Liquid for water which is associated with blue.

Got a lot of prep work done last night, haven't even been to sleep yet and its nearly 7am!

I made a start stripping and cleaning it (in prep. for coating) the actual overall condition is really good it just needs some TLC to make it look pretty again.
It was covered in glue residue presumable left over from sticky cable holding clamps etc, so i've made a start attcking it with my awesome cleaning fluid... I swear it'd remove my head if I gave it half a chance!

I should of taken pics before I started but couldn't be bothered at the time, just wanted to crack on.

As you can see it's just dirty really, but i'll soon fix that!!




Hard drive cages all cleaned and prepped for coating next week, probably gonna use the Silverstone one instead of the Lian Li as it uses a 120mm fan instead of the weedy 80mm one.



My finger tips... buggered from the glue!



*minor update - 1 hour later*

Well it's fully stripped down for powder coating but I think I might hang onto it for a couple of days so I can rack my brains for mod ideas prior to coating it.

I defeated the glue though, i've attacked the ENTIRE case with the special cleaning fluid to remove any grease / dirt from it so it's good to go.






PS: Ice_Owl - I like the names Aquarious & Atlantis!
