Typhoon III anyone heard/seen anything new?

[DarthBeavis]

I have a full plating station.

funny to see you pwn people when they fail to ask the proper questions. People here do not understand you are at least a couple levels higher than anyone here save for the few who also design their own stuff. I think a few people like Eddy from EK will appreciate your talent . . .

[Tsaroth]

Well like you said, save for a few others he's a couple levels above everyone else.

When people say Alumin reservoir everyone looks at that and goes WTF?

I know BoxGod's talents. He has been working with me and helping me learn to mod a lot better than I could have.

I just didn't take that into consideration

Thanks DB, but Eddy might disagree lol.

Well, I can't show any sold designs, and nothing I WANT to manufacture...but I can show some designs that didn't make the cut =)





Various fill ports and bay reses and such. I normally weld these together, grind the welds flat, then polish to a mirror finish, maybe bead blast accents, then two shots of copper, a shot of nickle and a shot of chrome. Keep in mind the parts above are in rough form from my "get around to em someday box" lol.

A little update on the compression fittings. I just got a few pictures of the color tests of the green. Looks to be a dead on match for PrimoFlex LRT Green. There will be also be matching colors for the PrimoFlex LRT in Red and Blue, as well as a solid black.

Keep in mind these are test samples made for color accuracy and recycled plastic was used so they are 'quick and dirty" so to speak--the rough textured surface an huge parting lines will not be on production class parts of course.





Man...wait till you see the BLACK!

[John Planet]

The production version will be composed of polycarbonite, BG? The cool thing is that I just popped for LRT red tubing.

BG, YOU SEXY BEAST! You are determined to make me spend all of my birthday money aren't you.

I may be up for some in black or blue depending on when my new build happens.

[NaeKuh]

problem is no one on this forum will touch alu.

Not even if its plated. :T

Very nice machining job indeed tho.

I would touch Geno plated aluminum if he said it was done right and would be ok.

[headala]

Naekuh, are you referring to the pics of the prototype reservoirs above, or something else? I don't think those parts were meant to be production, but I could be wrong.

I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of the fittings! I guess the plastic is strong enough? Some folks crank down on them pretty hard

I think based on his quoting the fitting pictures he meant those.

As for the plating, DB is right as I do my own plating. Those parts are/were for some mod or other I was working on at the time though, and are not for production. Not many could afford the labor involved in those.

Fitting strength. Plenty strong. I am going to be sending a lot out to different people to use and abuse so if your hesitant, just hang tight and wait for people to start commenting. I may run over some with my car too just to see lol.

[Tsaroth]

As soon as I get them up and running I'll make sure to post about it in my worklog.

I have heavy hands so if I don't break them then I'm suspecting that alot of people won't have any problems.

I shot a short video to demonstrate strength and grip. Call it the very unscientific "shake the crap out of them" test. Some had expressed concern that somebody might reach inside their case and jerk a line off or w/e...unless your case is bolted to the table, the PC is going to move LONG before there's an issue.

Sorry for the dogs barking and the birds--we have TONS of birds in South Texas and I shot this in my drive way lol.

Shake Test Video

[damunk]

That poor reservoir....

But by the looks of it I'll be probably using those fittings, looks very sturdy..

Can't wait to get me one of those, if only my shop could tell me when they expect getting it :P

[faster3200]

Shake Test Video

Yeah... those lexan compression fittings look really weak .

Nive one BG . When and where can I give you all of my money?

[Mech0z]

Want release soon give pricing outside US pretty please

[BoxGods]

I am told Typhoon III is ready to roll and they are just waiting for the fittings which took longer because when they saw the first productions samples in color the order got bumped from 10K parts to 50K. SHOULD be shipping end of this month or early April, depending on customs from China. As for pricing...I only designed the thing and have zero say, sorry.

As for the retail packaging. I am pretty sure they are going to include enough of the compression fittings in 3/8" ID and 1/2" ID for 2 loops. So that would be 2 in and 2 out or 4 of each size. Also, enough of the lighted LED plugs to obviously populate every port save 2.

I have yet to see the actual packaging and I am kinda torn lol. As a reviewer for the last 3 or 4 years I often commented on how much money and materials were essentially wasted on flashy boxes. Of course now that its MY design a flashy box wouldn't hurt my feelings lol. I know PrimoChill usually doesn't go nuts on the packaging unless the product is going into bricks and mortar stores as well, which T3 likely will...so who knows.

[BoxGods]

For those interested in the colors:












The "dust" you see on the black is either mold release or dust drawn by the high static loads parts get from the injection molding process. I requested "Delrin Black" and from the images, I think they came very close. As soon as I get the parts in I am going to bead blast a few and see if I can get a totally matte black, or stealth black. If it works I will pitch them on offering it as a color choice if anyone's interested.

[evil-98]

whoa the blue and black look great! matte black would be pretty coool

[BoxGods]

Here are a few product shots that will be going up on different estores.

The light blue fittings are a limited edition and are mine =)











Fittings HAVE SHIPPED! Should be here by Friday or Monday.

[faster3200]

Wow, very nice. Those fittings look amazing with it. What stores should we watch out for it on?

[BoxGods]

Yeah, really dig the lighter blue myself. Shame they are ALL MINE BUAHAHAHA...sorry, had a Stewie moment there lol.

As for stores no idea but I imagine most will carry them sooner or later.

On a side note. I took some clear compression rings and shot a coat of white plastic primer on them and then tried various solid colors of paint. They are pretty straight forward to paint and look pretty snappy =). The more serious modders can 100% color match their mods as well as any weathering etc.

Pretty cool.

[BringerOdeath]

Wow, that looks good!! How much are they?? A laing D4 should work in it also right?

[BoxGods]

I am not positive it would as I no longer have any D4's knocking around to check with, but I would think so.

As for price, that is of course up to Primo Chill, but their goal was the $60 to $70 USD range for the pump version without the pump, (use your own pump).

So figure $65 =)

I think it's nice that they are not making customers who already have a D5 buy another one as MOST of us already have several D5's. I imagine the pumped version with a D5 will be say $70 more.

Included will be 4 each of the 1/2" ID and 3/8" ID compression fittings in clear, and 2 clear LED plugs.

[evil-98]

ahh soo cool, i need one for my next mod

going to be nice not having to mount the pump in some weird place

[Mech0z]

Is this out yet?
