Motherboard tray CARBONIZED:)

Started reassembling the case after a few coats of paint. The main frame is painted Dark Metallic Charcoal Grey. (Carbon) :D Let me know what you think about the color combo.

Same color combo for the fans:up:
A quick question for the electrical guru's I purchased a power station that has 8 four pin outlets there are 4 on each of two power leads. I am using Aquaero with power adjust plus 3 additional power adjusts. there will be a pump on each of the 4 for a total of four pumps. this puts 2 pumps on each power lead. Will this be to much draw on this power station.
Some updated pics

What make and model is the power station?
can you open it and see the internal wiring?
As long as the wiring is standard gauge it will be fine, pc power cabling is over rated most of the time, and pumps draw very little amperage in relation to the spec.
Edit: that pump draws 1 amp
most 12v lines put out around 25amps, so can handle alot more.
in my experience as a lighting tech, often the cables are rated to say, 10 amps but the PINS in the plug may be only rated to 8 amps!
look for the weakest point in the power station, it should easily handle a few amps.
Is that an AC filter mounted IN your psu? :confused:
I still cant decide how to mount my AC res and filter, looking to mount in the same place as that.
Hey gut whats up.
Its the Bitspower 8 station one. I want to mount it inside the 5 1/2 cage in the back and clean up the wiring. thanks for the info.
:ROTF: in the psu now your funny it actually fits above it real tight but fits. You have to have the connectors over the back edge though or your tubes will not fit.
from the angle of the pic it looks like the psu just fits :D
are the valve handles just clear of the psu too?
still got room for a led?
got another pic of it?
edit: is your BP powerstation the one with male outputs that you needs sex changers for?
Yes it is the one that needs the sex change. BUT!!! I think I will sleeve Female ends so we don't need them.:shrug:
:up:I am receiving my custom plates for the filters tomorrow afternoon so once its pulled up in place I will take a picture for you. Yes I can add the fittings and tubing. I do have enough room since it hangs out over the edge of the power supply. The only thing I might not be able to do is add the LED in the bottom like I would like.

BundyMania Thanks for the :up: I'm putting some effort into this
Stop back and stay in Touch:)
I'm worried the AC filter is too restrictive, without the led in it, it's almost pointless.
I'm thinking I might just add it to my fillport instead, so it just filters new water :shrug:
looking forward to your pics.
Creekin It also gives a way to shut off flow for drain :up:
I think it will fit but we will see tomorrow. I wont get the plates until 4pm my time.
The mobo tray carbonized looks awesome!
Any chance you'll be doing the same thing for the PSU? or you keeping it as it is?
When clean, the nice AC filter reduces the flowrate only 10-15 Liter/h, so donīt care about this aspect :yepp:Quote:

I was going to do a few tests with and without the filter later today,
It looks so good with a led behind it that 10-15 lph is well worth it
yeah the taps are very handy Rod, it appears the idea is you can isolate the filter and remove it for cleaning without draining your loop. :up:
Good thinking Shoggy!
PSU and Carbon. I keep thinking about it but dont want to over do carbon. might just insert into area where it would say AX1200. Thabks I love this look.
The Filter is G1/4 not G1/8 I have 3/16+ under filter between PSU so led will fit.
UPS guy made my day today. pictures upcoming.
bit late for that isn't it? :p:Quote:

the led only needs about 5mm for the end of it and the cable to bend
I took these quick and they are so bad but my plates I had MNPCTECH make for me. also window frame The filter plates say carbon also but my bad photo's don't show it

that filter frame looks much better than the stock one, i asked shoggy about a black one but they have no plans, i am trying to work out how to avoid using it or make my own :)
Have my front door done today and finished up front bezel paint and LCD plate

looking good bud!
looking good slotrod :clap:
i originally had my aquaero mounted above my res like that, i dont have that power booster though.
and it looks great,
but i thought it hides 90% of the res, which is the sexiest bit of kit in my build imho.
shame about the aquaero bezel, i know what shoggy said, but im sure if you sent him a few diff pics, they could pick another one or 2 from stock that match the rest of your stuff and send to you.
or just send all 3 back to him and get him to send u 3 fresh matching ones.. :shrug:
got an internal pic of how ya gunna plumb that lot? :)
Creekin thanks dude.
As far as the plates Plan 1 is order a new one from sidewinder and hope and pray for match. Plan 2 Gloss black to match the front bezel. I was going to put it in the shelf BUT!!! not enough room to look good. If I go with painting the plates Gloss black I will order the BayDream with the open slots to show off res.
yeah the baydream would be a good look, in black, or with a custom plexi front :up:
