hello everybody,
i want to build a nice rad box out of 3/4" maple laminate and am in need of some design inspiration. not really looking to copy off someone, just get ideas for layout and who knows what else?
TIA SLICEY

have the rad at one end, the fans at hte other and hte pump in the middle... acts like a big shroud, cools the pump, and isnt as noisy as having the fans on the rad

Here's mine. I should have it up and running in the next week or pending todays outcome. I holds two 77 chevy caprice HC's(sorry dont know the numbers) and a nexus rheobus and 2 120X38mm low speed panflo's to move a bit of air. okay enough rambling.

172mm patriot fans. that's an old picture, i now have an iwaki in there, cleaned up the wiring, and dont have the meanwell psu :p
if i ever built another external box i'd use my feet to break the boards, karate chops are too sloppy :D

Brandon,
Very nice looking rad/pump/fans case.
Could you post some pics of how you've arranged it internally?

Brandon that looks like a JPI V5. Is that correct? Very nice.

What did you make that case out of?
Here is mine.
very nice case man!
just wondering; how do you power teh pumps and fans in that case? have you extended a spare power rail from your main pc? or have you got some other PSU?

Chunkylover77, you get the prize! Yes it's the last of JpI's V5's .
Alec, the pumps I plan on using are 120 volt AC pumps in the form of 2 hydor L30's and yes the fans and rheobus will run of my main pc via a power cable.
Dissolved, As far as I know its Alu, all the way around. when I got it via ups I seriously thought it was an empty box.

Thanks Alec. I made a molex connector to extend from my PC.

Brandon I had actually gotten the first of the v5's. They are gorgeous. JP is actually thinking of making another run of them.
