Looking good man! Keep it up!
Glad you were able to bend it correctly this time. Would have sucked if it messed up again

Thanks =)

Next Update.
Actually i did it yesterday but due to lack of time i couldnt upoad all photos,
so i decided to show you at least the painting.

the cellular rubber i used to bend the plexi unfortunately wont come of that easily.

so i decided to make it a little bit different and just glue it on the back of the Dibond and where no screws are ment to be (for now...see pictures below)

so now i have seen i have to drill additional holes for the Dibond.

And make holes into the cellular rubber i just glued on...;D

but this doesnt work for the plexi as you can see through it.. tested it on a small piece.

with background light, like it would be if the lights are on.
On Camera u can see it, with the naked eye its really hard to see it, but its there.

So i decided not to make it that way.


Stay tuned for more =)

Paint thinner (varsol) dissolves that foam along with the adhesive backing very easily. Spray it on and the stuff scrapes off our machines very nicely
But I like what you did there, it'll help prevent vibrations from fans!

 

[Tymofar]

Thank you for your tip. i will try that, but i think it will work ^^

Hey guys,

another update, couldnt work that much cause i am very busy at the moment.
We have a big autumn market this weekend, and i'm the organizer of it.

i have new members in the familiy ;D

This comes a little late, but for future projects =)

And i granted myself a new cam. for better pictures (at least for the final shots) and to make a video.

so here is the small progress because i was and still am very busy.

with the old jigsaw

i decided to do the back also, u wont see it but nevermind ;D

glued the cellular rubber on the fan mount.

hope i got more time to work on it next week.

so long

heyho everyone!

Got some progress to share =)

now you can see the reason why i drilled so many holes.

Now mounting the outer parts.

I positioned and mounted the screws first then glued the cellular rubber and cutted a hole for the screw.

here you can see that the upper left part fell onto the ground ;(

as the paint doesnt hold on to them properly i had to made 2 new ones.

so i took the case outside and made a few pictures:

The big tripod was there because i filmed the assembling progress.
I have to cut it and upload it, then i will show you this too.


Thank you for watching.

That looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it filled!

 

[Blaylock]

That truly looks amazing Tymofar!

 

[Silver_Pharaoh]

Mmmmhmm! I knew this was going to look really good!
Nicely done!

Very nice fit and finish.

That aluminium extrusion is generally anodized. You would have to remove or really roughen the anodizing (sandblast) to get paints to adhere properly.

Thank you all for your kind words! =) appreciate it.

Another solution to sandblasting is to chemically prepare the surface. We use a 50/50 mix of water and lye too prep anodized surfaces for paint. Brush the mixture on, let it suit for a minute or so and rinse it off. Just make sure you are wearing long rubber gloves. After that get yourself a good primer for aluminum and you should be golden.

To this point it costs me ca. 350 €.


Hey guys,

for those who are interested in the assembly, here are the two parts:

Part 1:

Part 2:

part 2 is the better part IMO.

I am new to viedo editing, so its not a masterpiece ;D

Hey guys

Alphacool and Aquatuning!

They supported me with all the stuff for watercooling my build =) They are awesome!
Go check them out:
http://www.alphacool.com/
http://www.aquatuning.us/

A huge thanks to them, i am so happy right now =) cant describe it ;D
And of course thank you alphacool and aquatuning for your trust in me.


And a thanks goes out to you as well, Thank you for watching and commenting my worklog.
Appreciate your comments!

My build will look like this.

i will mount the reservoirs directly to the side walls, cause of asthetics.
All other ways i thought of aren't that clean or good looking.


And i couldn't resist to mount the Top "Eisdecke" onto the pumps =)

so stay tuned for more updates.
