watercooling mods

Wiseass · 08-08-01, 05:59 PM

Hey all, first post here, been lurking for a while, finally getting into building my dream machine, just wanted to post something that I've had in my mind.

I was thinking of a watercooler system, obviously a case with a window to see the innards, but here's the kicker, the tubing for the watercooler is clear, but put yellow highlighter dye mixed in with the water. why? well put a mini-black light at the bottom of the case. if you've ever mixed yellow-highlighter dye with water and done this, it tends to "glow". I think that'd be cool running through the tubes. Anyone done this before or thought of it?

Welcome to the forums Wiseass. Just a few days ago the forums underwent a major overhaul and in the move all the posted pics were lost. There have been a few people here running systems like you described, I myself included. I'll repost some pics of my rig later tonight.

You do realize that you just gave advice in a decade old thread, right?
