This is my computer i am using on a day to day basis so i must do everything in steps. Please Subscribe to see the end result! ;-) It will eventually have Dual loop water cooling with two internally mounted 480mm rads. Oh, and this is also an OCN exclusive work log. ;-)

This is a log of the work i am doing to my sig rig.

currently i have all of the following goodies:

Case: Lian li PC-V2010B
Motherboard: EVGA x58 Classified 3x SLI e759 Limited Edition
Processor: Intel Core I7 920
Memory: OCZ Platinum DDR3-1600 (6x2gb)
Power Supply: Corsair HX1000W
Graphics: 2x EVGA GTX 280 + EVGA 8800GT for Physx
Hard Drives: 2x WD Velociraptor 150gb in RAID0 and 2x cheap 160gb 7200rpm drives in RAID0
CPU Cooler: Corsair H50 w/ 120mm Delta High Speed PWM Fan
Case fans: 2x Scythe S-Flex G

Ultimately the overall plan for this build is to create a very clean and elegant look. I intend to have a black and red color scheme keeping the Brushed black anodized look on the outside of the case and painting the inside red. I am considering doing some pinstripe detailing on portions of the case.

I already have done most of the cable management which can be seen in the Step 1 post. I intend to further that by single sleeveing the psu and sleeving the fan wires and front panel connectors. I will also be adding two liquid cooling loops, one for CPU and motherboard, the other for the Video cards. The CPU loop will have a 480mm Radiator mounted in the top of the case and the GPU loop will have another radiator mounted in the bottom of the case. both radiators will be mounted internally to keep the clean look of the build.

I will also be modding the side panels of the case. on the left side i will be adding a window looking into the upper portion of the case and on both sides I will be putting modder's mesh panels along the bottom section of the case for airflow through the graphics loop radiator.

ultimately this is the hardware i have planned for this case:

Intel Core I9
Nvidia GTX 3** (whatever combination of cards proves to be best)

enermax magma 120mm fans
Black Ice GTX Xtreme rads
watercool heatkiller 3.0 lt
EK classified motherboard block
bitspower 3/8" compressions
swiftech MCP355's
xspc black pump tops
koolance inline res 80mm
mnpctech black fan grills
primochill blood red dye bomb
tygon 3/8" clear tubing
primochill black anti-kink coils
bitspower g1/4" plugs
VGA full cover blocks

lots of sexy black and red :-)

Unfortunately I do not have the money to do this all at once, so this project will be spread out over a period of several months. Thanks for checking it out, and if you are interested in how it is going to turn out please subscribe! :-)

Nice.
I need to do this on my v2000/BP. TBH the stock cable management sucks. You'd think they'd have more space behind the mobo tray in such a huge case.

Thanks guys! it took me like 6 hours to do everything. (i am really slow and a perfectionist)

I posted the rest of my pics in the reserved post. :-) (stupid 38 pic limit)

Looks nice and is a good improvement, good job.

Well they aren't very fat so you wouldn't get much room. There's like a half inch with my new atcs 840, great case.

Truly, nicely done. I am nervous about hitting my V1000 with the dremel, but I know it needs it for proper cable management. Seeing yours makes me feel a little better.
Plus one to ya.
