It looks nice.

The Korean guy does a very good job with the CPUs.
I hope you get yours soon.

I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to seeing front mounted psus like that. It is still a pretty cool system. I like it. 😀

What kind of OS will you run on it?

Fantastic build! Looking great.

Anymore photos of the case with the front on? I used to have that Creative 12x drive in my AMD Thunderbird build years back - do you get a hissing noise from it when spinning up and down?

Looking nice. I've pondered cases like that for a build before - how do you like it? Anything to watch out for?

Unfortunately i'm accustomed to heavy steel SECC cases, so this case feels a bit flimsy to me. Not something to dole out 80 euro or $100 for.

What motherboard do u use?I have a Asus board with intel 815e,that doesn't support Tualatin,wonder if it will support a pin modded 1.

My Asus CUSL2 v1.0 has no issues with running the modded Tualatin, it works great 😀

Asus CUBX-E, Asus' 440BX swan song. The Tualatin is pin modded through an interposer by the Korean seller. With a 133 MHz FSB the AGP port will run at 89 MHz, which fortunately the Geforce4 can handle.

What is this falling capacitor right beneath the CPU area? 😳

I think that's to make room for the heatpipe 😎

No fan on the CPU? 😐 Brave.

Yeah a capacitor obstructed the heatpipe.

A Tualatin runs pretty cool, so i use the case fan on the left as a cpu fan. I use the original cpu fan as a fan to cool the Voodoos.

Great build! Got me thinking I should make something similar one day. After all, I already have most of the hardware including an almost similar motherboard, CUBX-L, it's the same except for the Promise IDE controller you have already built-in.

Seeing this makes me really want to do a Tualatin build some day. 😜

Very nice! I Love the case 😀

I used to have the same Creative 12x drive in 2001 on my Athlon Thunderbird build., I remember it making a hissing noise most of the time when it started to read discs.

What benchmarks you getting? Quake 3, 3DMark 99, 2000 & 2001?

They are very nice, a Coppermine on steroids 😀
And the Tualatin was basically the last desktop single core CPU with low power requirement (afterwards it was Athlon (XP) and Netburst)

hey @n1mr0d

i see you have the same lian li case that i have, mine is in black color.
i bought it used, condition was very very good., but it came whitout this piece:

can you tell me what is the purpose of it?

Once moved up and secured with the thumb screw, it'll lock the drives (3.5") or drive trays (for 2.5" drives) in place. Usually, you'll have a PCB at the back of the drive bays, providing SATA and power connectors for hot-swap functionality.
