Sweeeet It's not too hard to learn like a lot of people think though, what I see as a bigger problem is Kanji, other than that... meh... let alone with only a week learning I already know a few words, time, weekdays, colors, numbers up to 999 (lol numbers were the easiest, took me a couple of hours at most). It looks like I'm learning to talk, read and write for the first time "again".


Oh... and bring on teh wafflez! I want some too

Well this is the most complete thread in OCNs history

Learning that way seems a bit extreme for a starter like myself, isn't it?

a bit of on topic: When do we get to take a look at another update Syr?

Heyah, Dragoon.

Well, I got the V2 Micro-Res yesterday evening. "YaY"

I will do some modding on it this evening, and prep it for mounting.

I also did the rest of the "rough wiring" and still need to do the finish work in that regard.

I also removed all the CF stickers on the fans, and cut new ones from black contact paper.... Imho it looks much better than the faux-carbon fiber...

Repo is on hiatus for the week, so I may just go ahead and use the hinges that I have now until I get the replacements (no worries, and no rush Sir Repo).

Let's see.... did I forget anything? ...probably, but as I recall what they were I will forward them on to this build log.


So... about these waffles.

Default Update: 11.05.08

Replacement Reservoir:

The V2 Micro Res from Siwftech is essentially the same animal whose evolution has seen a couple of improvments.

The most notable is the added aperture below the traditional inlet and outlet. Imho, this is quite the boon as the loop configuration options have now been expanded.

The second is the replacement of the traditional plastic screw-plug with what appears to be the same but made from SST, or plated "something-or-another" (?).





The first thing I did was to cut off the tabs that the mounting hardware passed through.





I was able to re-polish the amputees stubs so that the scarring was not so obvious:





The new mounting may use mechanical fasteners:




...or perhaps industrial-grade Velcro:



Considerations:

The pro's of mechanical fasteners is stable and secure mounting; the con is that the backside of the case will have a thumbscrew-cap protruding from it.

The pro's of the Velcro are a clean backside; the cons is potential failure of the Velcro.

I doubt that the cons are likely to pose a problem as the reservoir will also be attached to the fillport on the top-side via tubing and the cubing will be clamped tightly to the fittings.

Comments are welcome.




P.S. Here is 27,000 sqft of 1/8" cork that is used as sound-deadening material in the building industry...

Hi Syr:

Could you use a tap and cut threads into the screwhole; thereby eliminating the need for the thumbscrew cap on the backside (for the mechanical fasteners)?

[EDIT: Use a forstner bit to get a nice flat-bottomed mounting hole or two and then tap those holes. Use short fasteners and voila!]

Oh, by the way, commercial-grade (the better stuff) velcro "shouldn't" fail.

Greetings, Teufelhunden.

Hmm... I understand the terminology that you use, but I am having a hard time envisioning it... would you try again... sorry... I'm kinda slow sometimes.

As for the Velcro, indeed I agree with you.

Maybe I should just not worry about the mechanical fasteners and go with the Velcro.

Thanks for your input.
