Im sure some of you remember my wacky huge turbo case I used to use for my custom-built desktop.
I ordered a very small Lian-li case the other day and I just got done building it. Very nice black "streeky?"aluminum:

Out with the "old" in with the new.

Done building

Cute huh? At least now it will fit in my car!

Very nice setup. Looks great!

Turbo, that is totally freakin awesome!! Does it see into the future!!

I know that banner on the wall very well, that was our motto in the 82d, "Kill em all Let God sort em out" ahh, those were the good ole days. I miss my M60.

Ya Mike totally! If it did see into the future I'd like to know if I am indeed going into the Army!

I just talked to my bro on the phone about me enlisting in the Army. He was going into the Marines, weeks away from BCT @ SD, then he shattered his leg on my motorcycle. No Marines anymore.

I am meeting with a recruiter next week, any tips throw me a PM. My buddy is at FT. Hood, I have been in touch with him, but anything you got let me know...Thanks.

I just love those lian li cases.

I love you too Mike for serving the great country of ours. My mom was a nurse and her most notable role was serving during Vietnam war era, I grew up hearing war stories from her. A big salute from me as well

Sorry for posting so much in my own thread

It is an interesting case layout. Airflow is from back to front. In the middle where the HDD is mounted (right above the PSU) there is a 140mm (might be 120?) fan blowing air out the side-ventilated face. Air enters the rear, goes into the CPU intake and makes it way out the front.

PSU is on the bottom which is not typical. I read somewhere there are reasons for this layout. It is nice and quiet as well. Very light at around 12lbs, mostly of aluminum.

Pete, you got to give us a pic of your desktop and X60 together!

Posted: **Tue Jun 19, 2007 7:13 pm**

Ok G, here ya go!

The wallpaper on the desktop of the X60s is my buddy Sgt. Josh D doing Special Ops human intel, in A-Stan last summer. They are searching an old Afghan man.

Mike, I also have the shirt too. I love lifting in it! Sorry everyone I look terrible! lol

Ya, HUGE Metallica fan. I have 3 tapestries by them (artist Pushhead).

In your pic I see the windshield of a Willys/Jeep CJ. Sweet.

Wow Pete, awesome pic! You look ultra-rugged ... I think even if I bunch up biceps on both my arms, you'll outrank me straight!

Pete, that would be the little older brother to the Hummer the
M151A1. They were like big go carts!!

Very rugged.

Otherwise known as the rollover special!

They had a swingarm rear suspension that just loved to tuck the outside wheel under in sharp turns or if you got sideways on a hill.

Yes, but James, we used to get those bad boys completely airborne!

And I don't mean heavydrop either.

The U joints were also a huge problem.

Did see a few of them crash and burn heavydropped though.

Sorry Pete for non malicious hijacking of your thread

I'll shut up now.

Posted: **Wed Jun 20, 2007 8:47 am**

Ah its ok, hijack away! That Airborne stuff is crazy...I hate flying out of Logan never mind jumping out of a plane...I could never. My uncle was an Airborne Ranger back in the late 80s.

Im thinking the thread should be renamed Lian-li and the US Military, or something to that effect.
