    did some color changes, blue as a scheme. i like it
    i forgot the measure the inside diameter of the ek res
    and i reminded myself multiple times to do it!
    i personally like a more creative res too, tribaloverkill
    has some amazing work, its crazy since it all done by
    hand.

    hopefully when i have time today i have another design
    in mind. moving away from the cylinder shape

    evil, your socali?

    care to make one for me?

    PM me the price, i would love a custom res from a local builder.

    I would love the internal to be either black or mirrored plexiglass tho.

    That would look tight.


    Actually i'll dont mind taking the internal blue one either.

    One favor tho, can you make the top thread single? Or dual it up so it matches the Koolance fan mount. Then you can use koolance's mounting hardware and mount them directly to fans or on a 120mm fan hole.

    Amazing work. The actual rez and the rendering - very wicked. I love the idea of some mirror plexi on the interior.

    Man there's some creative s*** on here!

    you mean the fillets? couldnt i just route it very carefully? if not i could make a jig to hold the 2" rod and run it on my drill press and manually carve the fillets

    either way of course its not going to be easy, ill try my best

    If your planning on making these from solid acrylic rods, then I don't see a problem.

    It would however be more efficient/cost effective to use acrylic tubing, the problem with cast acrylic tubing (even extruded to some degree) is the inside and outside diameters of the acrylic tubes are slightly oval. The insides would need to be turned to true them up for solid mounting of the internals.

    Gee never had anyone offer to buy my custom res and it exsists lol. It did cost me a ridiculous amount but its the only one and I love it to bits. Being bronze it does heat up when gaming.
    Good on you evil, get creative and make something different, its to easy to just buy everything.

    It holds about 1.5 litres.

    thats a very bold res you have there fragger, i do like the polished bronze

    anyone know of a place i can get extruded acrylic tubes locally in socal?
    its getting to expensive to get it all cut and shipped here.. all i really
    need is some rods and some tubes.

    also whats the recommended adhesive? im looking locally but i cant find
    any acrylic glue/weld.

    hey Evil, tho the idea of "baffles" inside the res is great... what about cleanup? it looks like a lot of compartments.. perhaps a tad simpler and yet effective?
    i'm curious as to how you will create the rounded edges and such... but love your idea bro...


    Naekuh, bro, you need to wipe the crud off your eyes man... LOL!

    And where are they on this site?

    @Evil....Love your designs especially the acrylic one's with the LED's. Wonder what they would look like with red LED's.
