Lian-Li X1000 Watercooling Project (lotsa pics)

Agreed with the other posters, that's a very nice looking build. The case looks like it's nice to work with. Great job!

Thanks! It helps if the radiator is nicely painted and all, and once I get the mesh made for the back it'll look even nicer.

Excellent thread man. I'm planning to watercool an X1000 myself and had arrived at a similar design - including the XSPC bayres! I hadn't thought of drilling holes for the rear 140.1 hose fittings, though - genius!

A few of questions:

1) that radiator mesh cover that you're planning; why not just use the fan cover that came with the case?

2) I see that you don't have any spacers between the rads and the fans. I have heard that putting these in improves air flow, by avoiding a dead spot between the rad and the fan hub. It looks like there might be room to squeeze these in. Any reason for not doing so?

I don't think there is room for any type of fan spacer with that sweet GPU right up against the rad!!! Sweet build I just ordered mine powder-coated black on the inside. Can't wait!!!

Awesome build man. I really like the cable management you did for the hard drives and such. I'm about to start working on my Lian-Li case, might have a question or 2 for ya at some point, keep an eye out in the watercooling section for my WIP thread!

Again, sweet rig and looking forward to the rest of the modding.
