That's really original! I've never seen anything like it before. Great stuff.

Ira-k. I will make a working res out of the next one i build. I am going to do the same build with some minor altercations inorder to add a fillport.

That would be great, appreciate it..

Thats just a cool thing, can you hear the water running in it? I have a 5 gallon bucket res that is actively cooled to, and I can sit here and almost go to sleep listening to it sometimes, it sounds about like a medium little water fountain, very relaxing...

Actually you cant hear it at all. I have a waterfall reservoir from cyberdruid....

YouTube - 3-Bay Waterfall Reservoir from CyberDruidPC

This sits in the front of my case and makes the perfect waterfall noise. So the white noise is exactly what i need to sleep !!!

Also after doing some thinking...a working reservoir is quite improbable. The flow with the prototype is that to much flow causes a white cloud of bubbles. So really even if i wanted to make it a fillport it would be a bad choice as the flow would kill the nice slow trickle effect.

...Nice set-up...Is that a pressure gauge you have on it, or temp? I get my little pressure gauges,0-15psi at McMaster-Carr...Nice original type work, I like seeing gear that guys put some heart and soul into...

...I always have liked the industrial, auotmotive type mods to...Anymore, on my own rigs i just want it to be easy to get to and change out parts...I need a newer back-up box, I might do one that looks good again, at least for something like that...

Thanks for all the effort you''ve put into the vid's and ongoing log, really very nice work..Good stuff!!!

Rofl that video is just showing what cyberdruid made and i bought it. That reservoir gave me the idea to make my own. Lol im not the most automotive person as i drive a 93 dodge shadow....ladies turn around on site of that thing. But i did want to ask is where would i get stuff to add temp sensors to the water...could i just use the ones off my fan controller??

Not the "shadow"...

..Hey if it gets you from place to place thats all any car does...

I make mine with these probes..Temp Probe .I put them in a 1/2" plastic "T"...You have to cut it down a little, put the tip of the probe just far enough into the flow to break the surface of the water, then I silicone them in place, let it dry a couple of days then heat shrink it in...They have a 2-pin tail on them, so they will plug into a lot of temp meters..

I use these for my read-outs.Probe Read-Out ..They have a tape probe on the end of them, I just cut that off and solder the 2 wires onto 2 pins of a 3-pin molex...It just plugs into the probe lead and you have a fairly accurate low restriction temp probe...If I was only going to use one of them I would probably put it right after the rad so I could see what my rad out to ambient delta's are...

You can see one in this pic right to the left of my pressure gauge in this old rig of mine..

Thinks its possible to simply poke a small hole in the tubing and shove a temp probe in and then silicone the hole??

Other thought was to try that with a 1/2=1/2 tubing joint and drill a tiny hole in that and silicone it?

any one ever tried taking a plastic T line and drilling a small hole for a temp probe?

Of course sealing it back up with silicone.
