[Project] YAMMS

[dho]

I appreciate all the opinions; don't be shy. I did my homework for this project, but it's never 100% perfect. If that DD block leaks, cracks, or just causes problems we're all in for a well-deserved told-you-so from the big man from Texas.

(OP by no means am i saying your a noob)Lovely build btw

I've always thought that believing you know everything is a quick way to prove you know nothing. I've also found you can learn a lot by listening to a wiser crowd. So I'm just throwing parts in a box and hoping a well-laid plan plays out in the end. All credit goes to the manufacturers of today's fine LC gear. It's the golden age of this hobby.

Thanks for the compliment. Plenty of time to go south yet though.. stay tuned

Might want to seriously consider getting some air flow on the bottom of your DDC pump... Mounting those pumps flush on the bottom of the case, is like inviting trouble... The DDC is notorious for failure, induced by the motor overheating...

I hear ya. I'm building a short mesh stand to fasten on top of the gel pads. It was originally to provide a better angle for flow up to the rads, but yours is an even better reason.

Awesome build, reminds me of mine... GL with it all!

Thanks. I looked long and hard at your Radium box. Great build!

Not much of an update today. I somehow forgot to post the obligatory 'pile of stuff' pic, so here goes:



My last shipments arrive tomorrow, but today I finally received some gear from PTS (west coast -> NY is slooowww).

My wife takes a polite interest in the hobby - I say polite because it's mostly just a passing eye-roll when I'm asking a pile of anodized aluminum about how it wants its tubing routed. However, today in the PTS shipment I received these:



Fresh out of the box, she gave them a look and asked "What are those?". Ever the fool, I replied "Breast implants", and slipped each bag into the top of her shirt. Suffice it to say, she was not amused. I think I'll be working in the basement late tonight...
