They are based off of Feser's compression fittings. They are not "perfect" copies but pretty close. I'll post the models soon...

Here's just one more render of them. The fittings are actually...

i'm happy with the how the bump map looks, but the metal material isn't quite right yet...

a compression fitting.

nothing too special, just a slot load drive. the exterior dimensions are correct but some of the the smaller details were eye-balled from photos...

I'm a decent modeler, but a novice renderer. These are modeled in Sketchup and rendered with Twilight (a derivative of Kerkythea). I'm using the plain default sky and sun settings for lighting and...

can you show or explain how you are attaching the mesh and window to the side panel?

thanks!

thanks! i'll check it out...

yep, just inside the yellow.

but i need a microATX one for a case i'm designing. you'd think the dimensions would be published somewhere...


...

I can't find the dimensions anywhere for the back panel that holds the pci/agp brackets and the motherboard i/o panel. It should be a form factor standard for all pc cases, but yet I can't find them....

If the pump is above the reservoir, can it still suction the fluid upto it and through it as the reservoir is filled?

The pump would be placed only an inch or two above the reservoir by the way.
...

should be less than 11" if measuring just the pcb (plus the the end bracket).

Does anyone have the exact length of the card with out the stock air cooling assembly on it?

Thanks!

To get a good threaded tap, how thick should aluminum sheet metal be? For example, tapping standoff threads into a motherboard tray.

I'm guessing 2mm, but would 1.5mm suffice?

i'm going for curved edges like the lian li v2000 or tj07, but for a mATX case.

also, i love the monocoque / uni-body design of the tj07 which is why i need at least 4mm aluminum.

i like the looks of the mini p180, but for a mATX case it ain't really that "mini". the lian li pc-a03 is smaller all around.

Yeah, I know. Its just more satisfying doing a scratch build all by yourself.



Thanks for sketch!

So it is possible then? I know bending 4mm is a lot harder than 1.5mm. I was worried that it...

Well, I should have mentioned that I need a precise bend within a mm or two.

Any ideas on how I could get a nice round bend like this with 4mm aluminum? I'd rather not send it to a professional metal fabricator, but I will...

I've tried it, and it does look good, imo. Look at the 24 pin set up in sniipe dogg's project FLOW mod to get an idea of what it might look like.

I'm using braided sleeving in my current build,...

Shhh... hush, hush now.

I was wondering if it was ever going to happen...

Thank you!
