Reservoirs for PCCStudent

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

I love having repeat customers. Especially reservoir customers...it means my stuff didn't fail

These are long reservoirs for a serious acrylic tech station. As in bigger than the average ATX bench.

After working out the particulars I decided to make them using some 1/2" sides. I guess that's my new thing: 1/2" makes me fully torqued.

I've got vids uploading, but it will be a little while.

Here are some pics.


Me, fully torqued, looking at a pile of 1/2" parts.


A deceptively simple looking pile of parts. The deal is, as always, every dimension has to be exact, every edge dead on 90 degrees, every corner square. All the parts have to be the same sizes or it won't work.


6 G-1/4 ports per reservoir drilled and tapped. All the saw cut edges are sanded with care to maintain that perfect perpendicularity just enough to remove the cut marks. I clamped the parts together and sanded them as a pack to be sure all the dimensions shrank the same amount.


5 of the 6 sides fused together and curing. Tops tomorrow and then more fun chamfering and polishing edges.

I have to say I was a bit apprehensive to ask CyberDruid to make resivoirs so I could mod a tech station that he made. I made a rule that I would not cut into any of the original acrylic work he made.Lets see if I can keep this rule. This is the station that I am putting two mobos and 4 480's and two loops with a bunch of amperage and voltage monitoring wiring.I have big shoes to fill modding a tech station from CyberDruid but I will do my best.

EDIT: This is a money dependant project but I hope to have one mobo and 2 cards up and producing by Christmas.I will post some build pictures when it is at a stage I feel comfortable with.The radiators will be mounted very similar to how Danger Den mounts radiators in their Torture Racks,but with much better hardware and work quality (if I can say myself).

I ask others if they would have used cylindrical resivors instead of this rectangle shape? This shape is very easy for me to mount.Perhaps you notice three ports on the top and three ports on the bottom, one of the top ports is a fill port and the other two are returns.The 3 ports on the bottom allow me to mount three pumps (I will be evaluating different pumps so I need this feature). Three pumps does allow me to cool the gpu's with one loop,cool the cpu(s) with another,and cool the board if I happen to pick an SR-2 board. One benifit of getting CyberDruid involved with your work is that he brings a wealth of experience and ideas on how to improve on your basic idea, I did not at all come up with the idea to champher the edges at 45 degrees,CyberDruid knew this would look good from the get-go. Everybody gets their moneys worth at the little shop in Virginia

Glad you feel that way. Pump arrived moments ago so it's time to get wet.

I just finished polishing reservoir 3 tonight. It's looking good.


Here's a vid of it before I beveled the edges and polished it.


I decided to remake the end cap on the other reservoir I made for PCCstudent and the two in my shop are a right and left pair that look exactly the same for his tech station. He has the "other" left on the way via Parcel Post to do some layout work.

I'll post up some pics soon. Been a busy day.
