Well Linus forums, here is my current project. I love to bring older cases back to life with new ideas. This V1200 was a very clean used case I got a while back, and I decided to pack as much power into it as I could. Well... why not go 2p in a Midtower class case. Yes, this is considered a Mid tower case. Amazing how much space this has, and still looks great. I just do not think that newer cases have the elegance of these older Lian Li cases. 

 

I am planning on doing a few other mods to this in the coming weeks.

 

Here is a list of the Hardware.

 

 Lian Li v1200 Plus

Asus Z9PE-D8

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 8C/16T 2.4Ghz 

16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer DDR3 1600 OB

Crucial M4 64GB SSD 

Kingston HyperX 3X 120GB SSD

8tb of Hard Drive Storage (WD, Samsung, Seagate)

Cooler Master Silent Hybrid Pro 850w

MSI Radeon HD 7870 Hawk Edition 1300Mhz

MSI Radeon HD 7870 Hawk Edition 1300Mhz

Dual Cooler Master TPC-812

Gentle Typhoon AP-15 x2

Gentle Typhoon AP-29

Cooler Master Blademaster x3

Scythe Server Master

MDPC-X Sleeving

Bitspower 360 Radguard

If I had to take a guess, it would be for video editing, and stuff like that. Powerful work station, and awesome gaming rig despite the Xeons.

That is a badass build man! I'm using a antec p180 and it was such ahead of its time when it came out, still an amazing case to this day in my opinion.

it is acutally a nikon d3200, but i have a nikon 17-55 2.8 lens on it. I also used a nikon 50 1.8 on some of the shots, but I mainly use the 17-55. 

 

Thanks for the comments everyone. Hopefully this week i can get some more accent pieces done. :D

That looks awesome. Somehow it looks smaller than I know it is, but oh, so clean xD. Probably the most beautiful air cooled rig I've seen.

it isnt that big, lol. Only 19 inches tall, compare that to the HAF 932, HAF X, and TJ07 which are all 22 inchs tall. Cosmos 2 (which is what you always see with a 2P) is 28 inches tall.

I was actually referring to the motherboard, the case somehow makes it look small :).
