I thought id post a thread,
seeing there is so many people buying these cases.
there is so much room inside this case, i was actually thinking i would try to disassemble my Xbox360 and mount/cool it in there as well as my PC ;)

I havent actually "modded" mine yet, but i will once I get my watercooling items.

Reaper memory, 8800GTS, 500G hdd,audigy platinum EX, neoHE 550w AS5'd mosfets and IC diamonded northbridge.
I had a spare E2180 i got to 2.8GHZ in there with little VC change, it kept under 50C load too :)
Anyway, here is a pic of mine so far, still pretty bare, because i am waiting on a Cheap Q6600:

I changed out the 120's with some spare Sanyo Denki 109R1212H1011 fans i had been saving.

Post up with what you did/plan to do with your LianLi Rocketfish :burn:
 
I already changed out all of the stock fans with the Zalman ZM-F3 fans which I picked up for $8.00 each at a local shop, I did cut a blow hole in the side panel to feed some air to my NV120 cooler and used one of the stock fans in said blow hole because they are quite.


I am going to get a black fan grill because the chrome just dosent fit the look I want.

My rig is here.

edit: spelling
 
I yanked the fans for some enermax UC-FAB12's I had lying around. Removed the PCI fan completely. Might put it back in if I get a hot Video card

Considering a blow hole on the top for a 120mm but I'm intrigued with the idea of just mounting one in the CD drive bay.

Wonder if anyone makes a fan mount you can put in a 5 1/4 inch drive bay?

use fishing line. Looks like its hovering there, its strong and it doesnt impede airflow ;)

It is called a 5.25->3.5 converter plus a drill :)

Yes, but the people who like to touch their case or even walk by it don't want theirs fans falling over.

It takes quite a bit of effort to get it in there, and it's staying in there :santa:

I'll see if I have more fishing line though.
 
Anyone know what the top rear grill area dimensions are?

Looking at it, it looks like you could mount a few 60mm fans there with a bit of tweaking but I am not sure.

I have 5 or 6 server grade 60mm fans that I stripped from an old HP server that I am debating mounting there.

My plans so far for the case are:

120mm blowhole (possibly 92 instead)
60mm fans on top rear (if they fit)
Possibly replace the power button with a vandal switch
adapt a Delta 120mm in place of the PCI card 120mm fan.
Possibly install an intake duct for the CPU fan so it doesnt just blow around warmer air.
