Lian Li PC-Z70B Custom Mod

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Lian Li PC-Z70B w/ Wrinkle Powdercoat

YyNWF.jpg

This is more of a appearance mod than a construction mod. This case has been powdercoated using a Wrinkle Coat. Later I will install a custom window design into the side panel using waterjet cutting. The pace will be slow since I'm waiting for the new AMD 7900 cards to be release to add a WC loop. So I will bump the thread as I finish each phase.

Unboxing:

Strip Down:

Removable 3x120 fan bracket, can be mounted to the left or right of the HDD holder, but I will mount it in the rear for direct air flow.

Here's an example of the rear fan mounting.

Back from the powder coating Shop. Thanks to Patty of Innovate Power Coating in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Was done in a beautiful "Wrinkle Black" finish. I got the inspiration from truck bedliner that another member used to mod his case here at [H].

Re-Assembly:

More to come (PC component assembly and front panel sleeving)

The current camera I have is cheap and struggles with taking photos without flash.
I'm in the market for a new cam so I should have more and better photos soon.

Phase 1 Completed:

Still not done, I have two more phases in order to complete the project.

Next Phase: Custom Window with 5.25" bay cover.

Last phase: WC Loop

Cable Management. When the wires are sleeved next month, this will look a lot better, but for now it's clean enough.

Any update about to pull the trigger on this case myself... Do you know if there is enough room to put 2 x 360 rads side by side with 120mm fans on them have the fans suck air from the left side pushing out the other side etc?
It also looks like you can mount a 280 rad at the top?

Thanks

I cringe when I see the words "LianLI" and "powdercoat" together... biggrin.gif
however, I have to admit, powdercoating just the inside looks awesom. thumb.gif

If I had the money and energy, I'd strip down and send all my LianLi frames to an anodizing shop and have the insides anodized too.
A bright red to match my love of AMD/ATI...LoL

This looks absolutely beautiful. All the components match the color scheme very well, especially with that powder coat. It gives the case something most other case modders don't give: texture. Well done, sire.
