soapy water? you mean for wet sanding? I'm new to this stuff.......painting etc... I mean.......

Led's. ~50 - 80 individually controllable white led's.

LED's will be controllable via USB and part of my water level management software/hardware.

I suppose I might as well just call this all a nightly update type thing. Here's tonight's:



Got the reservoir built today. It's all sealed up and holds water perfectly fine. I have two quick connect fittings on the bottom so it can be filled without any hoses attached.








You can see the water channel going from the cooler to the reservoir here:






Yeah. That's a sick front end. Need to make a bezel that transitions from the white border to the cooler better.



Can see through it.... I made this cooler fit in the are the original 5.25" drive bays took, so that way I can continue to use all the motherboard securing measures.

play nice lol

Gonna try to have the bottom cooler functioning tonight.....Still got some tweaks to work out on it though.

I'm thinking about using fans in the top like this to help vent some of the case air. I would need to take the top cooler and raise it on stand-offs though, which would make the task of mating the output of the top cooler to the input of the bottom cooler even more difficult.



Started to build the top cooler. I wanted to at least have the side walls and the drainage deck built. I took these parts from Project Rainfall, as those 1/2" polycarbonate panels were expensive.



Yup. That's water in there all right. I got carried away though and had a couple leaks going between the vertical section and the horizontal panel. Anyways, upon seeing these leaks, I over reacted and tried dumping out all the water, most of which made it's way cleanly onto the floor.

Ok, my lense's AF is fubar. Time to stop being lazy and use manual focus like I should.



Mmmmmmmm Top cooler.......



Top fans.........



I need to figure out a way to fill in the gap between the plastic and the metal panel and the cooler.









reservoir. It's just hangin out. See what I mean about those fittings?!







Bottom cooler and divider panel supports:



Water channel that failed me, and managed to leak. I did only quickly moun these parts together, and everything still needs to be taken apart and polished before the final assembly so everything is crystal clear. The horizontal divider panel however will be painted gloss white, which is why it's sanded down.



Oh, and I suppose I DO have some surprises coming.









I'm on a business trip next week, so I'll be working on this till friday, but next week no updates as far as I know.
