Off Topic######

I just have to say - after seeing it over and over.....

Cyber - I love the Avatar!

It kinda grows on ya..... specially after seeing pics of ya in some of your builds! (Over on Overclock forums) Great Effects on it! I actually though that it was pretty similar to ya! in a Dolph Lundgren " I must Break You" kinda way!

Anyway - Love your builds! You have M@D SkiLLz!

[CyberDruid]

Thanks. The order has been started by the Plastics shop and now I guess it's up to their schedule but I would hope to have the reservoirs in hand by the end of the week.

[fart_plume]

Yep pretty quiet...it makes a little noise..but from the vids you can tell it's not like Rosie O' Donnel taking a wizzz

So your saying it's like Julia Roberts farting?


Pretty and silent...................

[CyberDruid]

I'll be sure to load yours with febreeze...

[bluc]

quick question how much fluid does this res hold looking at building one for my current case build

[Origin_Unknown]

AMAZING!! all you need is some fish in there now

[Tallpaul]

wow nice one love it nice work bud keep it up

[CyberDruid]

lol

well I got the call from the Plastics shop and I will be assembling reservoirs this evening. Look for a fresh thread tonight.

How would you clean these? I have Thermochill gunk built-up on my MCRES-MICRO, and it made me wonder how anyone even cleans these stupid things out...

[Liquid.]

the first thing i said when i saw this was wtf, then i saw the pics of action then i was like O M G, I wanna try my hand at one of these, how tall wide and length cyberdruid?

[voigts]

What I want to know is how exactly you go about buffing them. I've had a hard time with this on stuff I've made, especially when it comes to getting out minor scratches.

[disruptfam]

sorry if i missed it but what to did you use to cut the material?

White vinegar

Width of a DVD burner and three burners high (fills three optical bay slots)

A firm sewn cotton wheel doubled up and white rouge. Follow by Novus 2 and Novus 3.

This prototype was cut with a table saw and each part was handsanded using a jig to keep them perpendicular.

I just realized the Plastics shop is a 5 1/2 hour round trip and I don't have the time. So the parts are being shipped today.

[royalmarine]

what did it cost in terms of materials? and man hour's?

if they are going on sale would you do custom order's?

[Liquid.]

Hmmm, Usually when i cut plexi or perspex i use a jigsaw with a 15 tooth per inch blade and its fine if i cut it on lower speeds.

[iandh]

I use a wax stick from tapmatic for cutting aluminum....the only way I could get 1/4" plate through the table saw

Ummm, 1/4" Aluminum plate through a table saw!?!?!

That's hardcore.



Also, I'm not a very big fan of bay res's, and I about 50% liked your first waterfall res. This one I like 100%. I think it is the only bay res I have ever considered purchasing TBH.

[CyberDruid]

Yep I had to make a dash panel for an Azimut (yacht) to the owner's spec: 1/4" aluiminum with carpathian elm burl veneer over that It was in three sections and total length was somehwere around 11 feet assembled.

Not only was I cutting the plate to my scribe marks on the table saw..the scribes were long arcs . Cutting long curves in 1/4" plate is pretty hairy.

Then all the work to get the instruments cut in. Then the drilling and tapping to the structural beams I cut to fit beneath the dash...

Not to mention the magic required to apply burl veneer to aluminum...heh

Fun times...

Still got all my fingers too.

[CyberDruid]

32 pounds of lasercut parts just arrived.

gonna be huffing some glue tonight...

[Liquid.]

Oh sweet, I was thinking you could make a smaller version to match my case?

Measurements are L - 450mm x H - 450mm x D 65mm.

L-length H-height D-depth, But you already knew that

Would it be possible if you could pm me some specs so i can make my own?

Thanks, BTW Great idea i reckon the waterfall resevoir looks great man keep up the really creative work!

[fart_plume]

Cyber you get a chance to test the package I sent you yet? Just want to make sure it's working for you.

[CyberDruid]

Naw not yet my friend. And I have not even opened the lasercut package...been doing other crazy stuff. But soon!

[fart_plume]

Yeah I've seen your triple radiator project looks impressive...........

[fart_plume]

The only reason i keep asking is with the luck I've had lately, I just want to make sure it works right,lol. just a little paranoia ya know.............

[CyberDruid]

Just because you are not paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you....^^

I am keen to get that rolling. It's just been a week for maintenance and then I got this wild hair to start the cooler...it's still sitting there hogging the bench...so I will put it aside and move on to the reservoir assembly.

I got a real camera that takes movies longer than 30 seconds and with a much higher resolution so I'll see if I can make a quick acrylic fusing tutorial..nothing much to it...but it might be interesting to know exactly how it's done.
