You can pretty much use any kind of container.

Why not buy some Lexan and make one thats better and possibly cooler looking than some of the factory jobs?

Btw did you or are you planning on seeing Wolfie and the boys?

Here´s what I did

Had a all in one !!

Pump built into res, and was not possible to buy just the res ...
Plus no warranty over two years old ..
So I bought a 5 dollar tupperware container with clips and airtight ring .. Holds 1.6 liter !!!
Got lucky the 1/2 tubing mounted directly to pump...

"We are here at the Overclockers Forum, where we've secretly replaced the coolant in his loop with Folgers Crystals. Let's see if anyone can tell the difference!"

I made several res's out of PVC. You can find all the needed parts/PVC cement @ any Home Depot.

Bad part is I can't find any of my pictures

I used one of those very same containers to make speaker boxes for my 3" Clarions in my car. They work well and make it sound better too

Well Guess Tupperware is multi use !!!

Great Idea Moto 7451,

Never thought of mounting speakers in one but good and cheap .
Lookin at all the others though wish I´d used lexan ...

Looks lots better ...

Happy modding

Machined them out of delrin on my lathe.
I got a great deal on chunks of delrin, 1" x 6" x 12" for $1/# (about $30/# list).
I bought about 20#...wish I had gotten more. It's great stuff and machines well.

. with a loop at 1.925v it ran at 48-50c

That looks pretty cool. Almost like your case has a chimney.
