Hey guys,
I was able to pick up the Lian Li PC-V600 for a reasonable price and since I really look the look of it on the outside, I'm going to try and mod the inside so that it pleases me also.
About the case:
It is quite an old model and isn't very easy to find (here in New Zealand anyway). Since then Lian Li have released the PC-V600F which looks very similar on the outside but only has an mATX form factor.
Here's the image of a stock PC-V600:
Mine isn't quite in that condition since it's so old, but it's not too shabby either.
Plans I have for the case at the moment:
- Move the Power supply to where the 3.5" HDD bays are. As you can see the PSU is currently sitting right in front/above where the CPU would be (depending from which angle you look at it).
- Replace the bracket that is currently holding up the PSU with a custom made one that will allow me to fit an exhaust fan on it.
Being a CAD student, I have the opportunity to use AutoCAD and other software that will help me (hopefully) with this build.
So here's what I did today:
This is a better view of the old PSU bracket modified to accommodate the exhaust fan:
And here is the old fan bracket (at the front behind the HDD racks) modified to accomodate the PSU:
That is all for now, feel free to ask any questions or suggest anything.
