after ordering my PSU i only have $80 unpaid balance left on my CC, with a $600 check coming in next friday. i will probably be ordering my pump rad and block over the weekend, but unless my work schedule is different this week i wont be able to play with anything until sunday afternoon. will post pics when i do my whole build log. hopefully my week goes well enough that i can toss 2 full cover HD5870 blocks on as well
sick, so i made twice as much in commission today as i was hoping, definitely ordering those blocks this week
Definatly going to get one of these
it would look great in my danger den Double wide 21 case thats on its way
Any updates Frozen?
I got mine and it works great. I only have two issue with it really, both are minor
1) The top plug has little to no room for the water to be poured into the reservoir because the CCFL tube is right under it. They're both centered and there's probably 2mm at the MOST between the bottom of the hole and the top of the CCFL tube. I tried filling the reservoir (had a compression fitting on top of the res, connected with a tube to my top fillport) and only a tiny amount of water went it before it was backed up. The res is empty, but the tube above the fillhole is filled with water. So to fill it up, I had to get rid of that whole thing, use a tiny screw to move the CCFL tube out of the way, and use a squirter to get water in there. Very annoying when trying to fill it up. Will be less annoying now that I have to only top it up, but I can't use my fillport anymore, I have to remove the side panel and use the same method..
2) There's a lot of bubbles that build up in the reservoir if you fill it up to the top since the inlet and outlet are both at the bottom so in effect, most of the reservoir never gets any flow. Thinking back, it would be better to ask for the inlet to be at the top and the outlet at the bottom
Wow really, i had no problems filling mine up. Yup there are alot of bubble as they stick to the spirals in the res, but over time they will go away. Mine took about 3 weeks to fully clear. After that it looks like solid glass.Quote:

Also, is my Accelero S1 in the mail yet? :D
It is right under, but the liquid has enough space to drip down to the end and fill up.Quote:

Mine took really really long but that's because he is not able to get the parts, but yours should be quicker, but be ready to wait thou.Quote:

Expect 4 weeks. Blue cast acrylic is on back order from the plastics supplier. I only have enough blue to finish up orders prior to that.Quote:

I wanted everyone to know I am still doing reservoirs for people. I only had posted on OCN that was taking a break from orders to get caught up.
I am in the process of turning my basement into a workshop. I am getting all new tools and machines, stocking up on supplies, new powder coating hardware, etc.
So, more reservoirs will be made, new types of reservoirs will be made. I'm getting a laser cutter in a month or so, to make my own parts and do custom cutting for people here on XS and beyond.
I have powder coating down really well now as well, so I am open to doing small parts...coated waterblock mounts look epic FYI :D
:party:WOOT! Thanks for the good news bro.Quote:

Yup, xmas is way early. I'll post pictures of the new shop as it comes along. And yes the vendors are coming along. I am doing some batch orders now actually.Quote:
