I tried painting the metal mesh, however I cant get the paint to stick as the mesh is GALVANIZED and I can't get my paint to stick at all! I think it looks great the way it is......... Can someone post in my new thread, as its getting lonely in there:DQuote:

What link guys? Oh, and whats up madmat!
I cant understand why? Can you all go into the SERVICES section at all?
you say the best stuff is in this wc box, but i always hear thermochill rads and a DDC pump are best :confused: i have no idea how that stuff performs..
I think the main problem is that when you have say a custom made phase box, it takes a lot more work and expertise including a lot more labor internally. With this, you're just using a much of swiftech parts, and most people will see that it's the same as what they could do themselves.
Shadow, thermochill's are the best, but more expensive by a wide margin. DDC with a top is really good, but the D5 is pretty much just as good, and uses 1/2" barbs natively.
Like I mentioned in another thread, perhaps a better idea would have been to go with a stronger ac pump. I'm not sure of many since I haven't done much research, but I believe eheim has some. It'd help for the longer distance of tubing.
While tchill is good, it's about twice the price. Perhaps, going with two mcr320's or two mcr220's and using wye's to split the flow to reduce drop. Using two 220's should be about the performance of pa120.3 iirc, and using 2 220's can possible make it shorter
Thermochill rads would have bumped the price up due to the OP residing in the US and the D5, well not as good but not far off and probably a higher level of reliability than a DDC.Quote:

It's a shame I didn't think more sooner, since it's already went through production and can't really be changed now
I think your best audience might be to do a website or see if you can get some etailers like petras to carry your product. those from these enthusiast websites would probably most usually want to do their own kind of rig
edit: this is something that might catch your eye http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=136885
The temp drop would be worth it tho on a thermochill rad right? id much rather have one of those in there..
How much of a difference is there between that pump and a DDC? performance/temp wise.
You can't predict the temps, but it has higher max pressure, so you can expect slightly higher flow.Quote:

Depends what you have on the loop, if it's processor only I doubt you will see much difference in temperatures.
Also, it's a good price considering the conversion from dollars to pounds. Would depend on shipping price and customs.
it depends how it gets sent, ive had stuff before and people have deliberately put something different on the label of the parcel to avoid the import tax..Quote:

Still a big negatory. This is what I got.
madmat, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Apparently you need 100 posts to access the classifieds section and as this is like my third post since I joined in '04 I should have 100 posts up about... say 2107.
I just saw the pics in the for sale thread. Looks great but just a few suggestions which would make it look much better in my opinion.
1. Sleeve the cables inside, i think it really takes away the clean look.
2.I believe having the fan on the outside of the radiator instead of the inside would make it a little more presentable also.
Nah it will be fine if it isn't a quad.Quote:

IanY, i agree with the diff hole spacing for the PA, maybe newls1 can pre-drill said holes, or just wait for the order, cause it is a per order custom job.
*BTW his link to the services page works fine.
*a comment on the expanded wire/screen on top: more dust to get inside box...
