Project: Jane Doe - Lian Li A77F | Completed 03/01/2011

So thankfully I'm employed again which means it's time for a new build I decided to go with a Lian Li A77F due to the sleek and stylish nature of the case, as well as the massive room inside for radiators.

I will be water cooling everything and I plan to put a 420 rad in the 5.25" bays and a 280 rad up the top. So far all I have is the case, board and fans. Waiting on a lot of parts from overseas as usual, hoping to have everything before November but who knows...

you and me sleeving party?

 

sleevings getting done by mr.wookiie have shit all time to do it myself nor the will power. i'll be doing the i/o cables and shit though.

 

*e-tear*
i need a friend.

 

need moar pics of fully siq WRX impreza rx bru.

 

I saw the motherboard on the concrete sleepers and almost popped a vein... thank god I then saw it was on it's mobo box.

Looks good man, subscribed for another epic thread.

 

come wash it for me, then i'll take some more pics.

haha yeah was careful, it's nice taking the pics outside. it's like computer meets nature.

yeah should be good just playing the waiting game now...

 

Good choice on the case LL cases are fantastic. 800D and TJ07s are for the fuglies.
I've the same case, and by experience it's not the most ideal case for WC. You will need some "tweaks" to get things in place. Good luck getting out the plates inside the 5.25" drive bays without some sort of special tool. But it will be rewarding once you have everything fitted.

 

Jay refuses to buy anything else nowadays.

 

Such a sweet case man. subbed

 

Yeah it's nice to do something a bit different, I would never go near an 800d... Haha I'm sure it will have issues a long the way, I'm not looking forward to trying to get that rad in the 5.25" bays.

Yes this. Once you go lian li you never go back.

Yeah, looks much better in person. I'll take some better pics of it with the new window side panel when I get it and some pics of the interior.

 

Is there a window for it? I thought there was only a window for the earlier model, a77

 

Yeah I ordered the one for the earlier model from ppc, I may have to just derivet the padlock clip and not use the power supply hold down bracket to get it to fit. Should be fine from what I've read.

 

FTFY

 

hahaha that too.

 

Jay: Llew come stand in this photo behind the case, and car, come drive in to the picture from the left, I want to show off everything I have.


Case, car and girlfriend, Jays everything.

 

Yeah I've seen a few builds with this case, so I know you can get it on there with some tiny adjustment, just would have thought that an update would be on the way. never seen one with all 140 rads though, going to be very impressive when you get it all in there.

 

haha exactly, all that's missing is Oscar (my dog).

Yeah I'll go into more detail once the side panel arrives. Well I was going to put a 360 rad in the 5.25" bays as most people do but I saw a guy on xs who put a 140.3 in the 5.25" bays of an Armosuit PC-P80 and seeing as the a77f has the exact same amount of 5.25" bays and is pretty much identical in size it should fit.

 

Moss: Where the flippin' flip did you get the project name from?

 

haha couldn't think of anything so just picked my favourite converge album. it was that or converges water cooled a77f.
