looks cool on custom res, nice job! where do you purchase those nickel plated barbs?

Voodoo Rufus · Feb 27, 2005

Pretty nice construction. Clean and looks neat. Nice to see homemade reservoirs.

Cathar (maker of G4/G5 storm blocks) sends them out for nickel plating himself :thup:

I think the question was referring to the different barbs that Elusion fitted after he replaced the stock barbs.

wooooh.. HOw did you make those res? They look slick man i thought you're manufracturing them lol. Can you send me one?

thorilan · Feb 27, 2005

just wondering about your intake here

is that a truely larger intake or is that just a bridge attachment?

EluSiOn · Feb 27, 2005

another angle of the intake

There is no modification done to the pump original intake at all...

thorilan · Feb 27, 2005

ahh ok thanks

when I order my res from them... it was a custom job....

but now they have created version2 and mass produce it...

http://www.colorstone.com.tw/product.asp?rootid=6&catcode=49&productid=528

too bad the site is in chinese

Also I got my custom fitting from them too... it was a custom job as well and they dont have those fittings on their site anymore. The custom fitting I got uses bspt thread, and http://www.colorstone.com.tw/product.asp?rootid=6&catcode=49&productid=538 uses M15 thread

Ok Elusion, i think we should do like a car forum and start up a GROUPBUY! I'd jump on that reservoir in an instant... And I know my buddy would too!

A quick question: How restrictive is that reservoir? Noticeable flow rate drop?

EluSiOn · Feb 27, 2005

the resevior is not restrictive at all because it mounts on the original intake.

I don't think oc forum allows GROUP BUY

OCS911 · Feb 28, 2005

what is your purpose of changing a bit larger inner diameter barbs? I can see honeycomb holes in inlet barb so larger inner will increase water blows through more honeycomb holes so does it improve on the performance?

my bad

also... it looks like you have access to some milling machines and the like - definite thumbs up for the work man :thup:

Very very interesting...VERY interesting.
I may have to look into this for my next system.

You know, i misread the post. So it sounds like the company that you custom ordered from took your design and is now offereing it from their website, right? So a buyer like myself can order it?

It also looks like the site is in Chinese and they are located in Taiwan... Do they ship internationally?

EluSiOn · Feb 28, 2005

mvjonny,

that is correct.... they do ship internationally and that is how I got mine in SC USA

wow nice fittings for the thermochills and G4. Cathar, anyway you can use them on the G5? Not that theres anything wrong with the regular barbs. Btw Are those barbs 1/2ID? I need some for my 120.3. Those cheesy plastic barbs arent cutting it.

Cathar · Mar 1, 2005

Thermochills, LRWW, Cascade, G4, and G5 all have the same barb thread size.

Elusion, I had a little trouble understanding the site. How much does each barb cost?

In any event, am pretty happy with the 1/2" barbs that I use/ship with the blocks. All up they account for around 2% of the block's total hydraulic resistance, so it's not like replacing them with something freer flowing is going to win anything big. If it made for as much as a 0.02C difference on a hot CPU, I'd be highly surprised.
