New Lain Li modded up

I just purchased the Lain Li V1000b black case with the premodded window heh.i added a new 470watt OCZ Powerstream powersupply in the case.I had to do some modification to fit it in but it worked.I tried my best to hide them wires but ill be getting some wire sleeving in the future and more uv reactive stuff. I like the more simplistic look so i think this case looks very clean. These are the first mods ive done to the case so tell me what you guys think.


these are high resolution pics(sorry 56kers)

The wiring isn't terrible. What I might suggest for a future mod is painting the drive cages, they look out of place next to everything else with their plain silverness.

niiiice! I wanna get a case with btx layout eventually.

BTX style is a waste as it does nothing, but I do like the setup.

Is that BTX? I just thought Lian-Li was being clever and flipped ATX on it's head. Or maybe I'm just an idiot and that is what BTX is all about. :confused:

i just wanted something new and different and plus its a lain li so im happy with the quality of the case.I dont really care if btx is going to be good or not i just like the way the layout looks.I also got my powerstream to fit so thats a plus since everyone was saying how it wouldnt fit in that case.

yeah btx is weird. but thats a nice looking setup anyway.

Is the Zalman touching that dividing plate? :eek:

Heh, it does look close...

ya its touching a lil bit but i didnt have to force it to fit so im sure its ok

So what is the difference between BTX and me flipping my antec over??

That's not BTX, but it is a nice case.

That's what I thought!

It's just ATX flipped upside-down.

even tho the case isnt btx my powersupply is still btx ready :)

I like the idea of having PS on the bottom, its just weird having the right side of the case open instead of left. I would have to rethink my whole desktop but of course that case would stay on the floor. Nice Case read its review awhile back. Damn that Zalman is huge.. :)

If that case weren't so damn expensive... !! :(

thanks for the replys guys...i should have updates up later this week becuase i just ordered some more stuff for my case.Yeah the powersupply on the bottom is really helpful when your tryin to hide all the wires heh.As far as the price of the case it doesnt really concern me becuae i split the cost with my brother :D
