ideas to lighten my water...Screwed up =(

Codeman05 · Feb 27, 2003

Well I'm an idiot...and while attempting to get a orange water color...I mixed up the ratios and added to much blue...now have a darrrrk purple

Draining is a PITA, any ideas on how I could clear it up before I go
ahead and drain it??

Ya I had some clear food coloring but i lost it........

I'm draining it out, this gives me a good reason to install my bay res hehe. Will post some pics when I'm done, should really clean up the tubing

WhiteHawk · Feb 27, 2003

heh, i didnt even know they made clear food coloring

Codeman05 · Feb 27, 2003

Well heres a couple of pics, they dont quite do it justice.
The bay res does glow very nicely in the front of the case

Water is still a bit dark, but as the air works out and some evaporates it should lighten up a bit

sacarcasm is tricky

That is funny WhiteHawk. It is pretty hard to convey sarcasm through text. They need some sort of sarcasm meter heehehee.

Is that a wetwilly fan shroud? seems like it covers more of the rad than mine. I only miss about 1/8" on each corner, so i guess it does not matter.

I like the color, seems to match the case colors well.

but as you said, you cant really tell from photos.

nice job with the rig anyways

now thats a color i NEVER have seen in a WC sys. i dig it.

Codeman05 · Feb 27, 2003

hehe yea it looks really pimp now in person lol. Now that all the air is out it look really nice.
Yep thats the good ole wet willy shroud. I made em really short so when I put in the new 120x38mm fans I can still fit in the case hehe

ROFL! I sold mine to the waterboy...

TonyKlem · Feb 27, 2003

so did it turn out orange? and hey gj on your rig looks nice

Codeman05 · Feb 27, 2003

nah, its more or less how it looks in those pics, just not as dark.
Before I draining the hell outa the system it was a realllly dark purple, almost black

Skulemate · Feb 28, 2003

Sorry, but I have to ask: why were you trying to make orange with blue in the first place? Doesn't make any sense at all with subtractive pigments.

Codeman05 · Feb 28, 2003

well, according to these stupid instuctions on the back on this foodcoloring packet, red and blue in a 5:1 ratio gives orange

Seemed a bit off to me also, but whatever. Looks pretty sweet now
