Default [Project] Velocity **56K no**

**Project: Velocity**
Intro to Build

A big hello to all OCn members! You may not know my very well but I am a case modder. In my signature is my first project, Ginsu, and I worked on that while Repo worked on something similar. I communicated with him and it turned out great. That is my current system too.

But there comes a time when you just need something bigger.

Welcome to Project: Velocity

This will technically become my first every build. My current system started out as a build from my dad a long time ago. I have gotten tired of upgrading. After going through 3 generations of upgrades, AMD Athlon 3800+, AMD Athlon X2 4200+, and AMD Phenom 9500, I have decided to make the switch to intel.

Build Contents:
This build will contain a custom water cooling setup, full tower Lian Li case, Intel's Nehalem CPU, and DDR3 memory.

OK, so I finally got to ordering the case along with some other parts. Check it out!



Once I get the case, I'm gonna start installing the grills.

Update I
OK, so my case finally arrived today. I got the boxes and started opening them like it was Christmas all over again. Opened the case box and was like Oh, My, GOD! This thing is beastly. Very high craftsmanship.


Love the front door.

I', gonna have to do something about that floppy drive.

Plenty of room.



Stock Fan system.

Removed stock fan system.

Installed fan grill.

Grills to be installed later today.



Window side panel to replace stock one.



Lovin it.

So , very, very big.

Sound absorbers.

Also on window.

More.





Changed out the stock button for a nice blue ring one.

That case looks epic. Its so big. And as for the HDD space at the bottom...wow....looks nice, who could possibly have (or be able to hear above) so many HDDs. I'm jealous. Good call on the power button too . I really like understated cases and that case has a nice sleek design . Its up to the compnents to be brash, bright and loud, not the case IMO. Plenty of space for a decent sized WC loop too.
Moar

Why is nobody posting .
