OK here is the resivior i have been making for my Lian LI pc75b system
its about 30cm tall without the tubes to connect it ( not shown yet) and 10cm*2
the middle tube does not contain water because a 12 inch UV cathode is inserted there
NOTE YES im aware that it adds a little heat to the resevoir but this system is built for asthetics as much as performance or i would have gone with an uber pentium
i tested it for leaks and so far none.
its made from 8cm acrylic tupe 10cm*2 X1cm uv reactive acrylic side plates and a 25mm wide strip of UV acrylic deviding the res in half so that the in and out tubes (also 1/2 inch or 13mm acrylic tubes) have maximum disance between them as hot water will enter at the top through 1 tube that is short and go out on the other side through a long tube that almost reaches the bottom where the water is cooler.
the lian li case Mobo tray is 36cm wide and i have a NF7-S rev2.0 board which i think is about 26 cm wide so when i mount it there will be 10cm (width of flat plates) of space to mount the res flush with the Mobo tray and secure it.
i would have mad it 34cm tall to match the top edge of the mobo tray but i need the extra distance for the tubes to curve ( clearflex60 thick wall version ) since my radiator is mounted to he roof of the case above the mobo and between the 5.25bays and psu . ou will also notice a 3rd hole for filling the res with up top. i havent decided how i wil plug it but ill probly use a colored peice of uv reactive acrylic as a sorta cork stopper
also i only added 3 drops of dtek UV red water dye for fun
so have a look see at the pics
