T-Virus Inverse Res...finally

[Faxon]

hey. update on my rig since there's still people who want to see my dual color res up and running. my water loop funds sort of got re allocated to my copy of windows 7 and my Enermax Revolution 85+ since my CM Real Power Pro 750 wasnt adequate for my dual 5870s. im debating whether i should finish it this week when i get paid or get a 256GB Patriot Torqx so i can install windows 7 with an upgrade install (image disk so i actually have enough SPACE for upgrade install vs 150gb vraptor, repair, run upgrade of win7 pro over vista business, win), but the fry's i work at is out of stock and the spastic supervisor over at campbell store never transfered the ones i requested last sunday.............. guess i may just get it off newegg, but it would be nice if i could find em for a better price elsewhere. i dont care which indilinx drive it is so long as it's 250/256gb capacity since this is a capacity upgrade as well as a speed upgrade over my 150gb velociraptor, which i plan to transition to being a backup image of my OS partition lol

Wow... Can you use dot points next time? I can't decipher what you mean

[Frozen.Q]

I am still here waiting for some love . . .

Oh you just wait...you won't be forgotten. = )

sorry i was a little drunk when i wrote that last night. basically, i havent been buying my pump, rad, and block, because i spent the money on a PSU, video cards, and windows 7, and now i need a bigger boot drive, so im gonna get a 256Gb indilinx based SSD, which is gonna cost me a week and a halfs pay. i might be able to order the parts finally next week, but i havent had as much time to tinker as of late due to working full time now, so pushing it up to the busiest months of the year may be easier in the long run for me

MmMmm 256gb SSD... How much is that? And what is indilinx versus everything else? Sorry to hijack the thread a tad, but I'm sure the answer is worthwhile everyone else seeing too

Price on these must be scary-crazy....

Indilinx refers to the controller... from what I remember, they make decent ones... as opposed to the older jmicron ones that were less than steller.

if you really need to know about why the indilinx drives are so great, you gotta read these 4 articles by anand, in order. you will get the point after the first 2 but the 3rd is also really great and the 4th gives you the most up to date info on the state of the market

I'm not sure man, I've been waiting for weeks for mine to show up, hopefully we get them all soon...

[Mabyboi]

FrozenQ said he sent off all of the reservoirs over the weekend... has anyone recieved confirmation or a tracking number?

[LinusTech]

Mine was about a month late and arrived with a slow leak and the light off kilter. I suspect it was jarred loose in transit.

For the time being I'm running that PC with a paper towel under the res, but next time I do a tear-down I will be re-adjusting the light and fixing the leak.

Overall the effect of the res is quite stunning and I'd say it was worth the wait. Not sure if I'd recommend it to someone who isn't "DIY adept" since it required some work out of the box to get it working right...

Here's an unboxing video:

Mine has a slow leak through the hole in the bottom where the CCFL cable comes through.. was thinking of getting some epoxy/silicone to try and seal it up.
