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.

So your CCFL isn't like RIGHT under the fill hole? Is it further down or is it not centered right under it?

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.

And yup it is, sent it this afternoon expedited. ill pm you the tracking on HWC. lol

You may have gotten a longer ccfl tube than usual. I cut them all myself to length, and sometimes I just use different ones I have around. I typically fill them when testing with a funnel with a small tip and angle it. I can usually fill a reservoir in like 15 seconds.

As for the bubbles, there is really nothing you can do about this. Unfortunately the spirals attract bubbles, and an aeration tube is out of the question. Maybe a spiral aeration tube is in store for the future though.

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.

Yours will be going out this weekend as well. I have taken the initiative to use some savings to really stock up on materials. As to cut wait times down for the future.

Update

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

hey. update on my rig since there's still people who want to see my dual color res up and running. my water loop funds sort of got re allocated to my copy of windows 7 and my Enermax Revolution 85+ since my CM Real Power Pro 750 wasnt adequate for my dual 5870s. im debating whether i should finish it this week when i get paid or get a 256GB Patriot Torqx so i can install windows 7 with an upgrade install (image disk so i actually have enough SPACE for upgrade install vs 150gb vraptor, repair, run upgrade of win7 pro over vista business, win), but the fry's i work at is out of stock and the spastic supervisor over at campbell store never transfered the ones i requested last sunday.............. guess i may just get it off newegg, but it would be nice if i could find em for a better price elsewhere. i dont care which indilinx drive it is so long as it's 250/256gb capacity since this is a capacity upgrade as well as a speed upgrade over my 150gb velociraptor, which i plan to transition to being a backup image of my OS partition lol

MmMmm 256gb SSD... How much is that? And what is indilinx versus everything else? :) Sorry to hijack the thread a tad, but I'm sure the answer is worthwhile everyone else seeing too :D

Price on these must be scary-crazy....

Indilinx refers to the controller... from what I remember, they make decent ones... as opposed to the older jmicron ones that were less than steller.

if you really need to know about why the indilinx drives are so great, you gotta read these 4 articles by anand, in order. you will get the point after the first 2 but the 3rd is also really great and the 4th gives you the most up to date info on the state of the market

Mine was about a month late and arrived with a slow leak and the light off kilter. I suspect it was jarred loose in transit.

For the time being I'm running that PC with a paper towel under the res, but next time I do a tear-down I will be re-adjusting the light and fixing the leak.

Overall the effect of the res is quite stunning and I'd say it was worth the wait. Not sure if I'd recommend it to someone who isn't "DIY adept" since it required some work out of the box to get it working right...

Here's an unboxing video:

Mine has a slow leak through the hole in the bottom where the CCFL cable comes through.. was thinking of getting some epoxy/silicone to try and seal it up.

He PM'd me when my 1st two shipped out via USPS, (don't know if tracking is an option with them). They arrived about 4-5 days later, (yesterday), and seemed to be in good shape overall. There's a lot of plastic debris on the inside of both though, probably left over from drilling the ports, so I'll have to rinse them out well. Not a big deal since I'd be doing that anyways, I guess. I must say, they look quite beautiful... worth the wait in my opinion. I'll post pics as soon as I can light 'em up... I didn't get the switches or inverters with mine. I'm hoping they show up with the two RCX reses I have on the way.

I have a question. Would it be cheaper to just mould a hollow PVC tube into the helix shape and then freeze it (if you spray it or dip it in a certail chemical it goes rock hard) then fill it with the UV reactive liquid of your choice?

Or even use these? http://www.eurotekmarketing.com/plastic/flex.html

ok well, you didn't read through all of it. He buys Flourescent Acrylic rods, and bends and shapes them himself. And chances are if you look on google, you will find whichever store he used pretty damn easily.

Alright guys, I think I finally did it, I got all the orders out...successfully!

Except for you Aphellyon...still owe you two RCX's, but I ran out of the damn smoke gray anod paint.

Thank you all for being so patient with this. I'm finally ahead, and have a good stock of things along with all brand new tools. Reservoirs should come out much quicker now.

My dad and I just finished putting in a small shop in the basement. Complete with a 13 foot workbench with a new band saw, drill press, buffing wheel, 4" belt sander, table router, an 8 foot assembly workbench, a 10" table saw to the side, and of course...a 32" LCD TV with a new PS3 = )

I received all the mounts and plugs for all four reses with the t-virus shipment, but no switches or inverters. Will these, (for all four reses), be included with the RCX's shipment? Also, I wanted to check and make sure the RCX ones were coming with side ports. Both t-virus ones had 'em, though I only ordered it for the RCX ones... just wanted to make sure there wasn't a mix up that would result in RCX reses with bottom ports only.

Thanks

Edit: Nice res mounts with the colored plex.... you should post 'em in Eddy's res mount thread.

Package for me?

Love the look. How heavy is this unit?

I was planning on mounting an EK RES vertically above an EK D5 TOP where the EK D5 TOP inlet would sit underneath the RES so that that RES essentially sits on top of the EK D5 TOP. The connection point between the vertically mounted RES and the EK D5 TOP would be a male to male BP adapter.

|| <- BP bard fitting
|---| <- RES
|---|
|---|
|---|
|---|
|| <- BP ADAPTER to TOP inlet
====
==== <- TOP
====

Would this work or would the FQ res be too heavy? I would not be using RES clips to mount the RES to anything.

Thanks.

It's little bit heavier than a same size EK. But I don't think weight it's the issue for your design. But have u see the picture mine, those wires for the light do come out from bottom center which means even you have your hole on the bottom u won't be able to let the res sit on the pump in the middle, that would be an issue.

In your picture posted above the left side of the RES has a single hole at the bottom doesn't it? I was going to make that side the bottom and the other side with the wires and the 2 side ports the top. Granted, that might look ugly.

Or just PM Frozen and see what he can do about it, the hole don't have to be that way at all, just ask him to drill it for u where you want it.

2 things:

1. ive been waiting since july too, and i got mine at the beginning of december. so your not the only one, ask him where it is, send him a pm...

2. dont call someone out in a post, if you have something to say, say it by pm. its the appropriate thing to do. and no he is NOT sending it to select members, he has sent them out to everyone... maybe you live farther away?

I feel justified to call him out on a post I did say it by PM....last excuse was the acrylic, but yet members were getting theirs even newer members who just paid. I do not live farther way that it takes many months to get.....

Frozen.Q

Yes, I would really appreciate it if you did keep stuff like this to PM's

And to resolve the issue, I did PM you back this afternoon. I apologize about not getting back to you sooner, but I've been spending the past few days with family while trying to get some work done in the process.

The reservoir was sent mid November. Along with several other peoples. I even posted that I sent the remaining reservoirs out. If you didn't receive yours, and this goes out to everyone else too, PM me about it asap. Don't wait over a month and then PM and get angry about it. I'll work with anyone to resolve anything. To date, I can't even get a hold of half the people I've sent reservoirs to, to confirm that they received them, so it becomes difficult to track everyone down.

Things happen, postal service loses things...

Too often recently...I can't seem to decided what carrier is better.

EDIT: I'll be on here for awhile tonight, if you have not received yours or there is a problem with yours, PM me and let me know.

So I wanted to give everyone a little detailed update on the status of my reservoirs, some pictures, and some changes I've undergone.

First off, a lot of people ask me, can I get my reservoir with side ports? Absolutely, below you will see an example of a reservoir with two lower side ports. I can do up to 4, on one side only, ie top or bottom ring.

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../SidePorts.jpg
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...0/IMAG0281.jpg

Also you will probably notice how nice the end caps look compared to before. I started using a different fine belt to brush them, and I also now rout the edges to make them more uniform, and now they have a very nice and shiny appeal to them.

People are always asking about custom sizes too. I can accommodate any custom size from 100mm to 400mm.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...0/IMG_6502.jpg

I can also do custom helix colors other than my standard fluorescent colors. Black, white, purple, aqua, pink, you name it.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...IMG_6437-1.jpg

Carbon Fiber Vinyl End Caps :D
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...0/IMG_6513.jpg

A new offering, the RC CLS is pretty much just a standard reservoir, with a pair of the end caps, and a UV CCFL inside to make any fluorescent coolant glow.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...0/IMG_6518.jpg

All that aside, I ask that anyone who wants a standard 250mm Liquid Fusion, whether it be red, green, blue or amber, purchase it through an online retailer who has them in stock. At this point, while I don't want to say I can't help the XS community out, I really want to stay available to take custom orders for you guys here. So if you need side ports, a different size, multiple reservoirs, something weird, let me know and I will still be glad to help :D

I have 3 of em now but what shall I say....
First, sure these are the best looking reservoirs I've ever seen.
Maybe I just had bad luck but all 3 leaked: #1 at the screws of the helix, 2# at the tube of the uv one and the 3#...well I mounted my BP barbs (with my hand) and the bottom plate just popped off and I'm not Hulk Hogan ^^
Well fixed all with 2 components epoxy glue and no leaks anymore...but was rly a bit sad :(

You should have PM'd me I would have replaced them directly.

I'm assuming you ordered them from AT? How did that disk on the one pop off? Really easy. AT had issues with a batch doing that. And I had been doing a lot of research into how, because I had never seen any of my reservoirs pop off like that, and I have made over 450 reservoirs to date. I don't know if they were stored in an extreme temp for too long or something.

Hi,
Got mine today, blue with black, managed to grab it from highflow.nl (thx for the info btw) while they were selling it for €84 - worked out ~£75, bargain compare to the prices in UK online stores.

Quality is excellent, can't wait to finish the build now - thanks for great product FrozenQ!

BTW - Got with mine inverter & PCI bracket with a switch, didn't expect one, perhaps shop added it or is it now in the package?
