Special Services: Custom Reservoir - Overclock.net

*CyberDruid* · 03-19-08

This one is for Indignity's project Water-Log. Don't worry Kenny...your next.

It has been a crazy day...weird weather...filling orders...discussing Cosmo for hours on the phone...bujt I somehow managed to get to the shop and between visits from my son got the reservoir made.

I worked from a sketchup Indignity sent me.

In the next post I will detail how I got to that point.

New blade for the saw...

Parts cut to size.

Something like that.

Plans call for a fan controller...so I have to modify this one by trimming the PCB.

That's the basic idea...I used acrylic specific drill bits to make a snug fit for the LEDs.

I taped off the back of the reservoir panel and sketched my signature glyph: the spriarl-bolt. I've been using this symbol for decades. After cutting it out with a razor I etched it in the blast cabinet.

The blues is the tape on the otherside...

Zap

I skipped a lot of the fiddly bits...drilling and tgapping the ports, blocking the edges, sizing all the pieces yada yada. Here I am at final assembly.

Something as simple as a small box is actually pretty hard to do if you need it to be "perfect" and water-tight...

The only I altered in the design was to add a port on the back of the reservoir because I had a feeling the one on the bottom might not work out due to the depth of the fan controller.

That's a wrap.

Awesome! Wanna see some pics with it all set up and plumbed!

Talk to Indignity about that...

Really nice. Love the fan controller on there. Should have like water flow through a little circle tubing around the knobs. Cept prolly not enough pressure to move the water through.

I think he should water cool the fan controller with tiny little waterblocks. That would be the perfect touch to an otherwise all aircooled rig

Ouch, Indignity's gonna have a piece of your thumb in his pc?

As usual, completely impressive work otherwise

*CyberDruid* · 03-19-08

Yeah one of the pieces got loose when I was drilling on the drillpress and cut a couple of fingertips and took some skin off my thumb...way fun.

So you know, this is going right here:

And Reside behind the door if it works out.

1 D5 & 1 Swiftech MCP600 ........... 20+ft of Head Pressure should do it
