Lian Li V1000 - Quick Mod

I have a customer I just finished a mod for.

Thought you guys might like to see the case. It's a real simple mod.

Customer wanted the inside of his case to be satin black, needed coolant line holes in the back, a little shaving here and there for wire management, and a flush fit window in the top.

So here goes -

The case in it's stock form. Pretty nice and clean. Really well built.

As you can see, the outside is anodized but the inside is natural.

I made a template for a window -

And ripped the guts out of the shell. Drilled out a LOT of rivets for this.

I popped in the holes, cut out the window, and sent the guts in for powder coating.

For the window, I made a template out of plywood and clamped it to the top and used my router. I didn't really plan on doing a huge work log for this so I didn't take tons pf pics.

I used a .250 acrylic and cut a step all the way around so it would sit flush once I glued it in. That way it's flush with the top of the case. It took a little hand work to get it perfect.

I bought a ton of black rivets to put it all back together. They were cheap and well worth it. I had to touch them up a little once compressed.

So here are the finished pics. I have a ton of stuff coming real soon that will get your attention.

Cool

Thanks for checking it out. Smile
