Why did you put the pump outside the case? It's a 12VDC pump, right? Also, that's very liberal use of masterkleer.;)

I like how they claim that the exhaust air is going to cool the water in the RES!!! :slapass:

As said before, that's alot of tubing :) But it looks like a nice setup. I kind of like that reservoir. At least it looks like it'll be really easy to fill and bleed :)
Give us more pics! :rolleyes:

everything looks fine here, he can shorten it next time.
i also have similar long tubing as a start, then shortened some till perfect.
but i do think that the tubing besides the I/O panel is too close.

ok,i fixed the long tubes. I pretty much cut all the tubings. No more hanging tubes

why do i hate every resevior made. that thing just looks to big to mount internally. are there any internal mounting brackets for it?. anyone know where to get a decent one like the Alphacool Cape Coolplex? the aluminum is quite annoying but ive learned to deal with it.

I like the resevoir, in particular the bottom/gravity feed. When it comes time to upgrade the KLWC, I think I'll make a new res with that in mind. Hmmm...

It's designed to be externally mounted.

I have the same feeling, there's something wrong with every reservoir...
BUT, I ordered the same res as sladesurfer is using today, it's shipped already :woot: . I'm going to mount it internally in my stacker, but I'm having second thoughts because of the sheer size of it... I also hope it won't crack after some time :slapass:
Solution: don't use a res

Solution: don't use a res
I believe most people prefer reservoir when it comes to bleeding and easy filling :) . I sure know I do!

i personally like the look of interior reservoirs, the internally clear reservior tubes look :pimp: when used with LED's and dyed coolant. the external mounting should be for those who dont have the room to mount within their computer. i for one do not that curse.
i like the cyclone res but they need different mounting brackets and differend size tubes. you know the alphacool capes are really nice and good size, if only they offered some damn Delrin/Acetal :dammit:
Every company, i swear, starts out with the same crap and then when one company finally makes the right adjustments, you'll see 50 more companies copying it.

hey i was looking, what type of material is POM. look at the alphacool Cape 25 (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=318&products_id=20602).
Delrin or somethin similar i guess....
from :google:
POM – also known as acetal or polyacetal - is a highly crystalline, high performance engineering polymer that displays a broad range of properties, among the most notable being low coefficient of friction, excellent wear resistance, high modulus, and resistance to many solvents and automotive fuels. Basic mechanical properties include high strength and stiffness coupled with good impact strength. Low moisture absorption results in excellent dimensional stability and makes POM an excellent candidate for parts that must exhibit tight tolerances in moist environments.

Can't you just install a T in the line or use a fillport? Would save space and tubing and no res needed.
