homemade reservoirs pictures

speaking of the vortex Res...

There was a guy here at the forums a few years ago, with the name "pepsi". he had a nickname on the lines of "The tornado man" or "Master of the vortex" or something along those lines.

he created (multiple) vortex COOLERS. They were part bong cooler, part Res. Some of these were 5+ feet tall, and had 2 ( i think he had one that had 3 in it ) vortex's as well.

With this setup, he was able to get the water BELOW ambient temps, something that cannot be done with a radiator.

I wish i could get a hold of the pictures he took a while back. But O/C forums has deleted the pictures quite a while ago. Sad too, they were works of art ( in my opinion ).

You can do that with most sprinkler head bong coolers.

You have some more pics of that or a build thread maybe? That CPU block looks custom made, and I can't tell what exactly the grey thing under the GPU is.

 

[Captain Slug]

Yep: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=494267
The CPU block is a Maze4 with a custom top, and the gray thing on the full cover vga block is a threading adapter I made so I can use the larger fittings that have a different thread specification.

Minus some decorative pieces that I'm not sure when I'll get around to making, the machine is done.

Had a all in one !!

Pump built into res, and was not possible to buy just the res ...
Plus no warranty over two years old ..
So I bought a 5 dollar tupperware container with clips and airtight ring .. Holds 1.6 liter !!!
Got lucky the 1/2 tubing mounted directly to pump...

Hah I got two of those exact same Tupperware style containers for my car's front speakers (they were larger than stock so I put them under the dash). They really increased the quality of the sound. I ported them as well by drilling a hole in the bottom lol.
