The Next project

[thorilan]

and finaly the whole concept basics

 

[termin@tor]

Wow, that's really interesting

Do you trust that glue so much tho? Aren't you going to isolate the bottom of the res so there won't be any leaks?

 

[sandman001]

Seems to me you'll get a vortex going in that res.

 

[thorilan]

nope have a way to prevent the vortex=)

and yes i trust the glue. if you have seen some of my other resses made from the same stuff you youd know that i havent had any leeks yet ( though i do major testing first)

 

[threeputt]

IMO, it will look cooler with vortex...

 

[thorilan]

yeah and a vortex would complletely negate the purpose of reducing cavitation at the inlet hence the trouble of the special design

 

[thorilan]

ok i finished basic no pressure leak testing of barbs and bottom joints. so got a few more pics.

 

[thorilan]

that last pic shows the glue i use which is in japanese so maybe that will stop people from sending me PMs all the time asking.

this next one is better

[AZNmodder]

meh no fair it looks so clean and good

i wanna eat it!

 

[Bald Shadow]

wow looks good so far. can't wait to see the rest

 

[threeputt]

Very nice... I think I'll try to make my own res some time... Question... Is that two inlets to the res? If so, you'll have 2 loops with one pump? This seems very interesting... how about little more details?

 

[thorilan]

the second inlet is multi purpose. for now it will just be for filling the res but later i can use it for second loop for say a NB vid card loop

 

[Senater_Cache]

First off, wow, amazing craftsmanship once again Thorilan !!. Excellent idea, though im not sure how youre preventing the vortex?

Also I am intrigued by your case. Whats that green PCB w/ the oldschool NB heatsink doing in your case. I dont mean to therad jack or anything so dont even comment on it.( send me a PM with a link to some pics of your system if you have the time.) Thanks for all the inspiration.

[thorilan]

that is a old 4 port lynksys router that i added heatsinks to

the vortex will be prevented by a copper mesh screen going over the outlet hole. ( not shown cause i have to go to shibuya to get it still)

the other pics can be found here

[Senater_Cache]

slick
does the router serve a purpose?? is it actually in use?

 

[thorilan]

it was in use but it has some stability issues so i have since switched to a diferent one but am to lazy to take the old one out of the case

 

[Senater_Cache]

btw thanks for the link.
Thats a cool idea with the router. I might add a little pice of non functional high-tech looking PCB like that by the window. That way I can hide my pump behind it.(youre doing that too right?)
Im getting the L35, how do you like it so far Throilan?

SenC.

 

[thorilan]

definately no complaints. better than a ehiem 1250 by about 250% for size power and heat

actualy i have the pump above the Psu

( this system was designed for looks not high performance even though it has a L35 and a silver cascade first batch

 

[thorilan]

oh the res in this thread im building is for a diferent comp btw . gonna use a pc60 lian li and design it for performance using cathars new design blocks once hes finished
