Presenting:

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/Banner/Project4.jpg

Hi fellow modders.
I was looking a long time for this Lian Li case, the PC-XB01
I knew he was EOL, but there is always someone who has this one.

So the search continued.

Did this case is really a beauty and offers quite a few opportunities because
Xbox is not really big and little more content, while the Lian Li is quite large.
It therefore offers opportunities for an expanded water cooling setup to installon the CPU and the GPU Proccesor.

After some research, I accidentally found a lovely Lili with a good friend:

Gnoom172.

Gnoom I owe you one

Also He had a nice Watercooling set for the Xbox. Which is very sweet, but too little for me.
I was then also noted by wwwicked a nice set from the famous Highflow (http://www.highflow.nl/) shop ;)

It was the XBOX PRO Dual 40 Watercooling Kit (http://www.highflow.nl/watercooling-sets/cpu-sets/xbox-pro-dual-40-watercooling-kit.html)

Also very nice. But for a large case like i have now it’s actually too small
So after some fitting and measuring, I found out that it is quite possible for the following parts:

EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Advanced (http://www.highflow.nl/reservoirs/tube-reservoirs/ek-multioption-res-x2-250-advanced.html)

Laing DDC-1 MCP350 12V (http://www.highflow.nl/pompen/laing-swiftech/pompen-1/laing-ddc-1-mcp350-12v.html)

Black Ice GT Stealth 120 Black (http://www.highflow.nl/radiatoren/1-x-120mm-120-/black-ice-gt-stealth-120-black.html)

Nanoxia DX Series 120MM DX12 (http://www.highflow.nl/fans/ventilatoren/nanoxia-1/nanoxia-dx-series-120mm-dx12-600rpm.html)

Hmm, I think the color combo is gonna be again black / green uv......I like it ;)

And 2 x a EK-Supreme HF Nickel CPU Block (http://www.highflow.nl/water-blocks/cpu-blocks/cpu-blocks-for-intel-cpu/ek-supreme-hf-nickel-cpu-block.html)

The Supreme's will fit nicely. I just need to mod the brackets, but this will definitely be nice

With this beautiful List I went to Freddy, and Highflow is again prepared sponsor this build

Freddy / Highflow thnx again very much

To start with I have some photo’s taken from the beautiful Lili

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08430.jpg

These are the victims that I had left from a distant past. ;)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08442.jpg

And I could not resist to test the little sweet set

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08445.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08454.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08458.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08450.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb01/DSC08449.jpg

With the set is nothing wrong, but would like some more extreme than this, what will succeed. I know it for sure.

So this is the start of a my new build.

Grtzzz. And to be continued

[Kayin]

This well and truly interests me. I'm subscribing-I want to see what you have up your sleeve.

Also, I think you'll like the one I'm planning as well. However, I have to say all water loops before now are officially tame when I pull out my design.

I'm truly glad to see something like this, and if there's anything I can help with, please let me know. 360 mods are starting to interest me a lot more these days...

[kier]

Thnx,
The one you mention planning is already posted?
I like to see, read and learn. Maybe it gives me new ideas.

Thanks for the offer, good to have a warm welcome over here ;)

[Kayin]

Not yet, all my parts aren't in nor have I gotten my hands on one piece that really drives how I design the rest of it.

However, when I post it I'll PM you a link.

As for the warm welcome, anyone who wants to mod is always welcome. We hope you end up sticking around.

And the effect is quiet nice


http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb02/DSC08486.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb02/DSC08491.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb02/DSC08515.jpg

After some filing and grinding

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb02/DSC08516.jpg

[kier]

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/Banner/header.png (http://www.highflow.nl)

http://www.mnpctech.3dpixelnet.com/picture_library/2010.mnpctech.banner.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodstore.html)

Update!!!

I found out that the radiator does not quite fit nicely. When i put him on the inside and place the fan on top it came too much into the case. So I moved him to the outside. First marked the holes for the fittings.

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08535.jpg

After drilling the holes placed the radiator

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08556.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08538.jpg

Placed BP Fittings

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08541.jpg

And placed the fan

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08543.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08542.jpg

Power on

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08548.jpg

I love the looks of the Nanoxia uv green

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08549.jpg

The total is still quite nice, the radiator is pretty slim. But not finished, something beautiful is coming my way from Mnpc (http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodstore.html) , but that’s classified

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08554.jpg

I also have painted the mounting hardware for the dvd and hdd black

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08572.jpg

And I’ve started to work an the other side. In this I want the uv green edge back again. So again sawn another piece of green

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08565.jpg

And then mod the original panel

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08560.jpg

The intention is that there is a window in the same shape as the original
Tape on both sides .....

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08562.jpg

Draw some lines

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08564.jpg

And after some cutting and filing:

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08574.jpg

Tape off and he's done.

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08575.jpg

Now it is obviously not good to have a green window. Windows should be transparent, no color allowed. Therefore I used the green plate and did some more cutting
First, mark and drill holes in the corners for the jigsaw

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08577.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08580.jpg

And again some sawing
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08584.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08585.jpg

First I placed and fixed with bolts to put everything in place

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08592.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08596.jpg

After that I had a mold for the transparent acryl.

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08585.jpg

And the result

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08598.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08601.jpg

And put everything in place. All that work for a green edge, lol

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08608.jpg

But I like it

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08606.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08604.jpg

And the window just transparent

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08616.jpg

Total shot...........you like?

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb03/DSC08612.jpg

Next update, I’m gonna let you see the loop of the water cooling ;)
See you then, I hope
Grtzzz.

[Blkfxx]

Very nice, Really liking this one!

Update 30-05

Here we go again....update time

Had the tray of the Xbox board disassembled and painted it black

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08617.jpg

This is better than the aluminum look.

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08624.jpg

Exchanged the original rivets for black ones

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08619.jpg

scotch tape on it from damage the paint

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08620.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08621.jpg

Nice flat and black

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08622.jpg

Also did some brainstorming for the window and got some nice ideas presented. I am going to try engraving this time.
So after some practice and see some movies

wSguz5c56Zc

For the lines I use a diamond point bit

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08647.jpg

And for coloring / Shadow effect I used a diamond tip

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08633.jpg

First some practice on a scrap piece and then ............. the real work
with a steady hand you'll do quite well. The first angle

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08628.jpg

In the dark, and an LED strip behind

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08631.jpg

And yesterday, the second part done. Pretty funny this engraving ;)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb04/DSC08642.jpg

And that was the update for now......you like it? I know I did

Grtzzz.

[Luke122]

Update 02-06

Today did the final touches to the engraving. Like this engraving thing
we gonna do this often ;)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08649.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08652.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08659.jpg

The black painted parts are also placed back

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08674.jpg

And I was brainstorming for the watercooled components. Pump and the 250mm Reservoir

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08665.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08667.jpg

The EK Supreme's with BP fittings

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08681.jpg

Reservoir next to it

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08685.jpg

We fill under the xbox drive. This gonna make a plate with a hole for reinforcement

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08687.jpg

He goes from the pump in to the first block

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08679.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08676.jpg

And from the second block he goes into the radiator, and from the radiator back to the reservoir.
And two last pictures of the hardware with window
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08694.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb05/DSC08698.jpg

This is it!!!

Grtzzz.

[Beta-brain]

Excellent, The best xbox mod I've seen, I never even imagined there was WC kits for an xbox! Do you do the engraving free hand it's very neat, so does the water pump make it noisier than a standard xbox? :whistler: actually I never found them that noisy.

I bought an xbox 2 years ago and only used it for a while because I was really pi**ed off that the clock and date would reset to default when the PSU was turned off and it was messing up game saves, I had to get out of a house fire in a hurry once which was caused by a TV left on standby going up in flames and now I turn everything off at night including the xbox so I was real happy to recently discover how to use a USB stick for games back up, these saves keep the original dates and times and it's given me a new interest in the xbox maybe I'll mod mine :banana:

Thnx, there are some more WC kits for the xbox but very small
Yeh engraving was made by hand ( for the first time) did some practice before
First generation xbox are terrible, had 3 times the RROD

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/Banner/header.png (http://www.highflow.nl)

Update 04-06

Just a hardware update. Yesterday I received from a friend (thanks Marco) a second-generation Xbox, with a Falcon Xenon GPU on board.
The layout of the PCB is also some different and better looking, it is much cooler and therefore less likely to give the RROD.

Old PCB:

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08520.jpg

further in the update photo's of the new print

On the this new board are placed some capacitors, where some data is printed on

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08734.jpg

To have a nice clean print I get the caps cleaned with acetone and after some brushing the become quite clean

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08730.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08738.jpg

I've also been busy with the tubes. From pump to the first EK Supreme

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08747.jpg

And from the first to the second block by BP rotery and multi-link adapter + Custom acryl tube

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08746.jpg

And from the second block to the black ice 120mm radiator with Tygon R3603 tubing

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08751.jpg

First part is finished.

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08740.jpg

From the output of the radiator to the reservoir

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08757.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08741.jpg

And the loop is ready for use

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb06/DSC08768.jpg

As you can see the new print varies somewhat with the old, and is much cleaner.

Have a nice weekend!!!

Grtzzz.

Update 05-06

I am on a roll with this project ;) A few things to do like:
A paintjob of the DVD player

Disassembled xplayer
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08772.jpg

And after some layers, a black box. On the DVD there was a clear round sticker. Placed a white sticker in the middle of it

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08782.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08784.jpg

I want to place the reservoir without the holders, so I have a made a piece of mesh

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08821.jpg

Painted it black an made a hole in it

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08786.jpg

Placed like this

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08815.jpg

Put everything together

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08830.jpg

And the picture of the mesh with the hole for the fill port
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08824.jpg

The fillport under the DVD, which is holding the reservoir in place

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08857.jpg

And then ....... the best job, filling. The well-known Feser One UV Acid Green

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08773.jpg

Tasty poison green

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08777.jpg

Cheers!!!

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08788.jpg

And fill it. First a little bit for the leaktest

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08793.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08796.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08799.jpg

And after some hours the rest

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08809.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08805.jpg

After some rinsing and waiting Feser becomes quite "calm"

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08867.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08861.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08876.jpg

There's still a lot of air in it, but will disappear eventually

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08884-1.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08883.jpg

Front also quite nice. Reservoir is good to see through the mesh

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb07/DSC08836.jpg

Update 11-06

Did some brainstorming with the products fromMnpctech (http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodstore.html)
First I have did same nice things with the Mnpctech Pro-Line Billet Fan Grills (http://www.mnpctech.com/Computer_Billet_Fan_Grills.html)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/120mm_fan_grill_black_mnpctech_billet.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/Computer_Billet_Fan_Grills.html)

Taken some measurements and sawn the acrylic and leave it longer on both sides

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09119.jpg

And bend it (with heatgun)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09122.jpg

Then I taped off the two sides and painted it black

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09131.jpg

Fitting the Fan grill

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09134.jpg

And see how it is

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09125.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09128.jpg

Nice .... but not finished, so cut another piece of acryl

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09137.jpg

Cut out the USB, Ethernet, power and HDMI.I didn't cut out the "normal" TV connection

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09140.jpg

And Of course place it back again

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09143.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09142.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09144.jpg

Nice .... but still not finished. Cut a black aluminum plate

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09147.jpg

Tape off

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09148.jpg

And place it back

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09151.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09150.jpg

Yes...... now he's finished ;)

Did the upper and lower edges with my dremel, Just a little polishing

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09157.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb10/DSC09155.jpg

That's it, in terms of the fan grill, more customization of products coming up.

Grtzzz.

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/Banner/header.png (http://www.highflow.nl)

And another update!!!
Did some last things to Mnpc products, such as the 4 BILLET MACHINED ALUMINUM "MICRO" CASE FEET (http://www.mnpctech.com/ITX_MATX_Computer_Case_Feet.html)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/itx_matx_computer_case_feet_black_mnpctech_com.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/ITX_MATX_Computer_Case_Feet.html)

For this round I have cut four plates

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09161.jpg

Filed and + polished

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09163.jpg

Placed and It’s nice in the trend of the black and UV green

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09169.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09170.jpg

And I did some nice things with the 3M Di-Noc CARBON FIBER FILM (http://www.mnpctech.com/CarbonFiber_Gunmetal_Titanium.html)

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb09/carbonfiber_gunmetal_titanium_mnpctech_com2.jpg (http://www.mnpctech.com/CarbonFiber_Gunmetal_Titanium.html)

The idea is to make a double bottom for the wiring of the pump, fan and lighting. I cut out a piece of acrylic and engraved the Xbox logo

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09173.jpg

And made two carriers, drilled holes and countersunk them also tapped M3

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09174.jpg

And put it all together

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09175.jpg

mFdG0pUk5Ek

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09177.jpg

And the result

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09189.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09195.jpg

Made some total shots

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09205.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09198.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09209.jpg

And another picture of the case feet and the double bottom. Green UV Lines run quite nicely I think

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx233/kier1976/xb11/DSC09213.jpg

Going pretty fast with this build. Next update will show the final pictures
Grtzzz.

Until the next mod ;)

Keep on modding..................grtzzz.

[Twigsoffury]

Hope you'll mod a Wii:U when they hit market.

45nm core(s) ought to be easy enough to cool. Surprised they'll be packing R7xx based GPU's (ATi 4xxx series)

You'll just need a Good old Nintendo Hex Bit.
