Got my first wc finished

Z YA LTR · Oct 22, 2004

Well not quite yet. Just need to mount my other hard drives and cdrw.

The hc is from a 87 chevette and I have two 120 deltas on it. 1 sucking and 1 blowing. I custom mounted the front fan and made the shroud for the 2nd one.

The pump is an Eheim 1250.

The blocks are CPU: DD TDX and GPU: DD Maze 4.

The resivoir is homemade out of pvc pipe. And the tubing is 1/2 id.

Here are some pics, tell me what you think:

What do you mean by downward pressure?

greenman100 · Oct 22, 2004

you have two hoses hanging from the block

that's about a ft/pound of force

just something to think about, try to support the hoses or tighten the upper screw more

Looks good, that front fan looks like a toe chopper, what did you make the shroud out of?

The screws are as tight as they go. DD says its 75lbs of force. 37.5 on each screw. Thanks for the suggestion.

then maybe back off the lower screw

as it is now, there is more force on the lower half of the core, uneven mounting

I dont know what the right name for it is but I got it from lowes for 33cents a sheet and it took 3 sheets. Its just a little angled piece of metal.

greenman100: Thanks for the tip I will try that.

Nice looking rig.

Excellent job on the case modding.

greenman100 · Oct 22, 2004

agreed, an excellent mod

some wire management would finish it off

Its the switch for the pump since its 120v. I didnt want to have to plug it up everytime I want to turn the computer on and vice versa to turn it off.
