Day 1 of my Anodizing Project (pics)

[dieselstation]

Well, after seeing some nice anodized Lian Li cases, it inspired me to do the same on mine. So today i went and gutted my case and took EVERYTHING apart! My poor Lian Li.. I've documented everything and posted my progress so far. Next step is to bring it to my anodizer and choose a color. Give me some suggestions guys.

Good luck with your project, looking forward to seeing the result

You really should do something about the airflow in your case. The stock rear grill is horrible for aiflow. I'd suggest cutting it out before getting it anodized. You could also cut out a hole for another 80mm exhaust fan right below it. Fits just perfectly.

It really doesn't take long, and you can run the rear exhaust fans on 7V and really cut down on the noise. Lian Li cases have pretty crappy cooling stock, but a little work gets them up to par.

Nice work so far; I'd annodize it a moderate blue color. Not too dark, not too light

actually i'm not too worried about heat. i have a P4 setup which i'm gonna go water cooling soon so the stock setup should be ok.
