Yeah, I spent the last two hours searching. Seems as though they have them in Europe and Australia, but the prices are much higher than they are here not to mention shipping on top of that. $13 here in the US, $20 elsewhere.
And this is why I now get all my wc goods from the States. It ends up cheaper incl shipping.. . . . LOL
not to mention exchange rate :(Quote:

lol enjoy your inflated dollar while it lasts :p: I can't wait for the recovery so the ER goes back to something more normal.Quote:

I have some of the thin LED strips and love them (have them lighting up the res on my Torture Rack)
it sucked when I was living over in Germany a few years ago. You pull 40 euro out ATM only to see it almost 50 dollars :(Quote:

Wow, all colours to look at. Got any spare UV CCFLs to have a look at the amber one?
You betcha, one second.
F5 F5 F5!
lol i am doing the same thing:D:D
Looks a little more orange-ish in person though...
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...0/IMG_5430.jpg
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...0/IMG_5432.jpg
OMG they look amazing!
I suppose if you must I will allow order changes...
Nah I'm good with green =D
Great work, cant wait to have mine, im talking to my aunt to see when she going back to usa.
Amber looks pretty sick...
I am going to get a picture tomorrow of one of each color res completed and working side by side.
Also, I think I am going to switch over to using delrin for my top and bottom discs. I am trying to make these as high quality as possible.
I am in line for my two greens as well MomijiTMO...lol wonder where I stand...Q? BTW they look awsome!!!!Quote:

Regards,
Lol, u just posted what i had in mind, faster than me :)
Lol I was going to ask that but I thought you would say, "Dude, can't you just gauge from the pictures in this thread." Derlin bottoms huh. Sounds good if you can get it for a similar price.Quote:

Eh acrylic would be good too if you already have it. I'm not fussed at all.
Hey Q,Quote:

Maybe you can then back a revision and offer the delrin and what not when you get caught up on this orders and also offer the helixs and delrin caps as replacement parts.
The people that want to change things up can and those that are happy with what the have don't have to :up:
where my reses ;) should I put one in this build (rough layout for HTPC)?
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9...center6488.jpg
That has to be the biggest HTPC I've seen lol. The matx board . .. . is dwarfed.
Yes, but wall-mounted. I think a T-Virus would look good in it tho.Quote:

Looking good man, looking good.
Oh man, I want one so badly. Gotta find something not to buy so that I can buy this one. :D
Frozen.Q: You are a genious. :D
TBH, I'm kinda wishing you could do a purple one! :P
I wanted to personally, but I cannot find purple UV reactive acrylic
Ah yeh I am sure it is quite rare :P
I could just do transparent purple and use a white cathode...not sure how that would turn out though.
Kind of weird but can I specifically request to have the acrylic end discs?
Well, all the orders now are getting polycarbonate ends. They are all painted though. Delrin will happen in the future.
Ahh ok, it's not a huge thing anyway lol.
Still time to modify my colors? Two UV blue twists with Dark blue caps and two with UV green twists with dark blue caps please, STAT.
Sure sure...I will see what I can do = )
Very nice. If I hadn't just bought the typhoon IIIs, I would definitely want one.
use bothQuote:

The blue is sanded and polished, the others are just polished. I was doing it just to see which looked nicer and to see how they emitted the light. Pictures don't do it justice, but the clear ones look nicer but aren't as bright, the clouded ones are brighter, but just don't have the appeal I like.
Frozen, what version of red did you get?...orange/red or pink/red. From your picture, it looks like orange/red.
What do you mean by that? Which picture?
I took a couple pics with the res in the backround (Alienware is sponsoring PDXLAN this time around so I wanted to say thanks . . . .and pimp Frozen Q
s work in a subtle way at the same time). I think it looks pretty cool in the pics:

Aside from the wiring, Looks good DB :up:. Those torture racks are tempting....
What a nice rack!
Don't slap me for saying that! I meant the computer!
Aww man... now look what you've done DB. I've been resisting for the last 3 days... now I'm gonna have to order me some. :p:
Seriously though, great job FrozenQ... that's the coolest looking res I've ever seen. I hope to use 2 in my next build.
yeah , ghetto wiring . . . .designing my HTPC case to fix the wiring mess once and for all. I am concurrently working on four different builds in varying stages. I am thinking about sticking a T-Virus in this one as well though it will have a T3 in the top with a new front panel and blue chrome fans instead of the green ones . . .also plan to have the unisleeve wires all neat in a row . . .Quote:

I will try to fit the T-Virus on the fans on teh back of the rad if there is room and it is not too much.
What!!!! DB is gonna have a rig with REAL cable management! :banana::banana::banana::banana:!!! The world is coming to an end I tell yah!!! :rofl:
All joking aside, looks like it'll be nice man. :up:
Looks sick so far.
Keep it up DB!
Totally just jacked this thread lol.
Back to F.Q.
As soon as I get my money here in a few days I'll be ordering one.
no i kept going back to the res so no jack . . . plus i have been pimpin his stuff so its all goodQuote:

DB has permission to jack my thread any day of the week. = D
That would be sick, but I would have to see because those pieces that I already bend are the longest that will fit in the oven. I would have to see if I can use a bigger oven.
I plan to finish this build in a couple weeks and will show it at PDXLAN before deploying it at the clinic. The server will sit behind the window you see here so customers can see it from the lobby from multiple sides (I designed this part of the clinic when we remodeled specifically to be a showcase for my builds and included two cat 6 drops there). I will have a little sign crediting people like you and Geno with your parts of the project.Quote:

You can see a green DD case and white Mountain Mod case in the window in these pics
DB, That's the most skilled thing I've ever heard lol.
What do you do at the clinic?
as little as possible. The wife and I own it. Five to Six doctor vet clinic depending on the economy ;) I have a business background as well as IS so I have had really had a major part in developing the practice including moving to paperless (files you see are legacy and being phased out over time).Quote:

Both DB and myself have tried to find "pure UV red" (and he has much better sources than I do). I even made a topic here asking if anyone could help me find that "pure UV red" acrylic and came to the conclusion it simply doesn't exist. :( Anyway, the res's look awesome, keep up the great work.:up: Just wish I could find a way to take one off your hands.:(Quote:

But I am willing to say that this is best UV reactive red material I have seen to date.
That is a great idea at the clinic DB. :up: Gives people something to do while waiting to see the doc.
Only downfall for me going there would be wanting to spend more money :yepp:
It's gotten worse. Darth-Aquatuning has licensed the use of Darth in front of any funny name...no more Darth Holio...Darth :banana:.. Darth anything you have to pay fees :(Quote:

Nice res...wonder who made that... = )
Matches nice with the DFI board.
hey Frozen Q, you mentioned you were gunna post a pic of all the colored res's running at once as a comparison shot? do you have that ready yet?
I do, I just haven't had time to upload it. I'm at work right now. I'll see what I can do tonight.
Those reservoirs just look awesome!
Can't wait to see what the blue looks like with better reproduction photos. Hopefully a little "stronger" than it appears.
My god those are nice, can't wait to get mine in. Why do you have to have such a ridiculously cool looking res!
Man that blue is bright :shocked:
I like the LED one's better then the UV one's.
Hey FrozenQ, have you decided if you're going to polish/sand the rods or just polish?
These really look totally gorgeous. I'm sure you hear that all the time, but it really bears repeating. :)
Sanded and polished I think...
Hmm... I just think with the ethereal look of those blue rods you won't be able to see them through purple liquid... :(
Dam if I can I really want to use one of these in my sisters computer if I can. Just for reference:
What is the L-W-H?
Does it have a top fill port?
Is black the only cover option or is silver available too?
Well, I could do it without sanding it then
It does have a fill-port, its 9.25" x 2.25"Quote:
