[PROJECT] Homewrecker V2

[evil-98]

i got an update, not much but an updates an update.

ill post some pics tomorrow, this machine (unfinished Day and Night)
has nothing on it until i get the CPU rmaed (stuck sensors bother me)

but i got the screws and spacers for the fan, and things are
looking good.

after much talk with Martinm120 and reading over his testing he had
previously concluded that the D5-V will not benefit from going over
13vdc... so as bummed as that is atleast i have 2 DDC + XSPC tops
which he also concluded to be the current king of pressure. i could
go with dual pumps (D5-V) but that would mean id have to rip one D5
out of my other machine (Day and Night) which maybe an option since
im going to RMA the CPU soon. im just not sure if i will benefit from
all the pressure/flow. i do have the radiator space for the heat dump
but the question is "is it really worth the trouble" i mean if there was a
"COOLER" option (some kinda dual top for D5s that was blingy) then of
course but just two D5s next to each other with tube going around
them doesnt do it for me. i mean i wanted to go dual DDCs untill i put
the two next to each other and said eww..

so as of now its DDCs in this rig, i will try the D5-V at 24 anyways just
for fun (huge peeing contest, dont got enough tube to do a head pressure
test)

another thing, hopefully i get some good news. anyways the radgrill and
front panel maybe made very soon (which is exciting for me atleast) and
hopefully can get my interior powder coated or get some time in the booth.

im just so low on money right now, its getting tough with the price of
everything rising, i might have to settle (which i hate oh so much) but
well see.

anyways

@Breathless: after doing much research and understanding your post
ive concluded that though UV cathos do emit UV rays (which in this
case are UVA rays) it maybe no different then being out side without
sunglasses or sunblock for a few minutes.

now this is interesting, i just read that polycarbonate blocks most UV rays
now only if the protective tube on the cathos were made of polycarb then
we wouldnt have any issues at all. too bad its acrylic..

another thing im reading is general fluorescent (CCFL - FL stands for fluorescent
light) UV lights are simple made with Wood's glass which basically blocks all visible
light and only emits very low level long waved uv which doesnt damage much

i think its safe to say that there isnt going to be much of an effect from prolonged
exposure. but i do have on solution for you if you do feel uncomfortable with it.

Switch your windows acrylic to polycarbonate
