Thread Starter 
Here is my new project , I am using a Lian Li PC-X1000 and adapt it to my style and taste.

It started by making a new midplate:

pcx100020.jpg

pcx100019.jpg

As you can see the midplate can be iluminated but i still haven't decided wich coulors I'll use so it is temporarely without lightning...

Then it was time to make an SSD mount, it was placed in the place of the bottom front fan wink.gif

Borrowed an SSD just for testing, I need to buy one xD

Case needed to be black so, it was powercoaded...

A cover for the powersupply or another power supply, it depends on the money I'll receive...

New fans.

Sleeving.

Maybe another GPU...

I am back, and now I have some time to give to my project wink.gif

So I received some material today to re-start the project smile.gif

My new 2500k together with my Asus P8P67, I am hopping I can get 4.5GHz from them.

The board is very pretty and the build quality is as good as my 990FXA-UD3.

I revised the MDPC-X sleeving and it is still beautifull.

Excellent work made by Soul smile.gif

I will change the PSU, I think I will go with a Corsair AX because of the black cables. I really need to get a SSD to make use of that beautifull SSD mount!

89547871.jpg

The top of the case, where I have my HD and my Lamptron FC6, I am not sure on where to put my HD, but I think that when the new PSU arrives I will make use of the original case bays.

Two pics of the work made today.

53262187.jpg

The front bays aren't as I'd like them to be, I think I will try to make a acrylic cover or maybe some original lian li 5.25'' covers

I am going on vacations so now only hardware news, I will buy a new graphics card as soon as I sell my 1055t and my UD3, a Corsair H80 and a Corsair AX, the precise model will depend on wich graphics card I choose to buy, maybe a HD5970 or a GTX580 smile.gif

Hope you'll like it, and I will try to post regular updates smile.gif

A little update smile.gif

Lian Li sent me these plain aluminium covers I couldn't find. Now the front of the case will be much more beautifull biggrin.gif

baycover_525_b.jpg

Now I need to choose bettween a HX-1000 fully MDPC-X sleeved or a AX-750 brand new. I like the HX-1000 better, but I don't think I need that much power :/

I've got some news biggrin.gif

The new board is a MSI Z68A-GD65(I needed the SLI/Crossfire and the integrated GPU)

And a HX-1000 is comming with MDPC-X sleeve and now I need help to choose between my ND-H14 and a H80, which one would you choose?

Keep your psu... its sufficient for your needs right now. It might not be a brand name, but it does provide enough power for a single card set up or even the newer 600 series in a SLI.

I would just keep the money saved from getting a new psu and get a GTX 670 or 680.
