New premium delrin single bay reservoir.

[BoxGods]

Hola--

Just posting some early pictures of my new Split Window reservoir design.

The body is machined from a solid piece of delrin/acetal/pom and the face plate is a billet style machined from 1/4" thick aluminum.

It comes in a single tank and a dual tank model for guys wanting to run two discrete loops from the same reservoir.

There is a machined in light bar that uses four UV LED's to light the fluid without showing the light source.

4 rear ports, two top ports, and optional front window mounted front ports.

Initially available in 8 body colors (counting black and white) and black and silver brushed anodized face plates. There will be more face plate colors like purple, blue, red, gold etc coming out shortly.
























No idea on price yet but it will be reasonable for a premium quality machined delrin and aluminum up market part like this. Shipping to resellers next week I am told.

Wow, that is sexy. I am seriously considering getting this. Can you tell me if it will work if it is tilted up words?

[atomic ferret]

Very nice!

[Utnorris]

WOW!!!!! Ok, so can we see some pics of the split res model? I am assuming it uses two MCP655's. Also, do you have a pic of the front fill port design? Looks friggin awesome Geno.

When will they be available? I'll be buying one in clear or blue with a black faceplate Assuming price isn't outrageous.

Not sure what you mean...this one is just a single bay reservoir...no pump. It comes in a single tank with four rear ports or a twin or dual tank where each tank has two rear ports. If you mean will the T3 version work upright...I don't see why not.

Very nice!

Gracias =)

This one is a single bay rez only (no pump) that comes in a single or dual tank version. There IS a D5 equipped dual bay version also and I have a DDC version on the bench but have not sold that design yet. Do not have a pic of the front ports yet sorry...soon.

The bodies are solid delrin so I don't think there will be a clear, unless you mean the front window. Price will not be "cheap" as this sucker is HEAVY duty--machined from a solid block of delrin with a machined aluminum face plate. That said I don't think they will be stupid expensive either.

[tool_462]

Yeah I meant the window, don't care much what color the actual res is. Hard to tell in the pics of the window is clear or blue tint.

Any idea when the solid delrin version of the T3 will be available? I've wanted one since I bought my original T3 on the day they released

Yeah, but I don't have drive bays and I want to tilt this thing up. The rear would be pointed down while the top is facing up. I don't mean the T3 version.

DOH...I was so busy trying to make a polite answer (I thought clear delrin? what a tard ) that it never even occurred to me you meant the front window lol. Yeah, sorry--they come with clear windows stock, though they will be selling UV and tints separately, as well as custom etched.

No idea on the official date, but its pretty soon as they have ordered production on the parts and are just sourcing the screws and other bits to go in the box. My unofficial guess is 2 weeks soonest, 3 weeks outside. Guess is the key word there. I have one here though and I can tell you its pretty pimp.

There are also two matching D5 pumps that are pretty sexy also due out in that time frame. The matching 20 LED driver as well as a small foot print delrin fill/drain port is also shipping this week. I even did a design for a simple funnel with g1/4 threads that also works as funky case feet lol.

I guess as long as it was high enough in your case for the loops exiting out the arse end to make any needed bends you would be fine. I am a SFF guy at heart as you know so I made it as short as I could get away with front to back.

Not sure how you would physically mount it...would need some sort of bracket but nothing beyond your abilities for sure.

Here is a less then great shot of it in red with a black face plate. No window installed and lotsa dust, sorry. Anyway you get the idea.



Faceplate screws, port plugs, and the aluminum top cover over the light bar bay are all black.

Since I have to go to Federal Law Enforcement Training for a month in about 2 weeks...why not just sell me that black faced one right there so I can get it set up before leaving? I'll even put in my own window

Looks awesome and well built

Please tell me not TSA training


You guys must admit this sexy thing makes you a bit excited to see the T3 version. There is a lot more he is not showing

[BoxGods]

Police academy just popped into my head...High Tower lol.

Please tell me not TSA training

Nah, I think TSA get their training on a CD-ROM or something.

Very nice indeed. I was wondering if there was going to be a black n red version. Pretty much the color scheme I've ended up with on my rig.
Dayum, wish I had the fundage to get one of those, would look hella nice.

Nice work indeed. ^_^

[Elmy]

Those look very nice cant wait till the release. I need 2 of the T3's for my new build.

So does the incoming delerin version of the T3 have the same hidden light source and nifty faceplate or is it going to be a conventional T3 with some parts made out of delerin?

There will be red delrin so I am sure a black face

It will be a new design in that it will not use any parts (beyond maybe screws, fittings, or O rings etc.) from the the original injection molded T3.

The original will still be sold as the value line or standard T3 and the delrin version will be the Premium version. It shares materials and front styling cues found on the split window--body machined from a solid block of delrin, face plate machined from aluminum. The port configuration on the back will be like it is on the regular T3--2 in 2 out, but there will be a top fill port standard and the front ports will be optional.

The pump will be held in place with a machined aluminum compression ring (threaded) with diamond knurling in place of the four screws on the standard T3.

I designed some pretty cool metal compression fittings, and Charles from Murder Mods fame has given me his blessing to modify (minor tweaks to aid in manufacturing) a compression fitting design he executed several months back for production...at some point, if not initially, one or the other will likely come standard with the T3 Premium. It all depends on how soon those enter production...choices Primo Chill will make, not me.

The pump internals, or geometry will be very similar to the standard with a few tweaks mostly for easing the machining process. Performance will be on par with the standard T3 or very slightly better--skewed towards strong performance in a parallel loop configuration.

I am not sure if Primo will include a light bar option as there is a LOT of additional machining required for the cavity/pocket the light bar sits in, a machined aluminum cover, and the light bar itself--all of which will/would add a lot to the price which is already going to be up there in the $100 plus range if I had to guess--remember this is a big arse block of machined delrin and a pretty big chunk of aluminum that will both take a lot of machine time. A very high quality, durable/heavy duty part for sure, but one aimed squarely at a very small segment of water coolers using top shelf parts and likely only carried by the bigger resellers or smaller shops that cater to higher end modders.

As an example, there will be a "full conversion" option that includes a machined aluminum motor cover for the D5, and an option to have a custom face plate machined to the users personal design for total build/theme integration. What I would LOVE to see as the designer is a high end boutique builder like Origin install T3 premiums in their water cooled builds that feature a custom "Origin only" color of delrin and a machined face plate with an original Origin design. The exceptional performance of the T3 parallel loop design with some delrin and aluminum loving in a well executed top end build married to Origin only design elements would really set their builds apart from the pack IMHO.

And oh yeah...I remembered the side slots this time for cases with training wheel tabs for optical bays

. . . and I have a DDC version on the bench but have not sold that design yet.

Is there anything in particular that's holding up the sale of this design? Any chance you can sneak me an image or 4?

I'd also be interested in a image or two of this unit

Primo has already purchased the D5 version and started production. It *should* drop in 2-3 weeks barring any little delays, sourcing the odd bits that go in the box etc. I think if the metal compression fittings are close to release by that time they may hold off and wait for those. If they are still like a month off then probably not as nobody likes sitting on inventory and tying up capital.

The DDC version of the design is still for sale though it would obviously need to be called something besides Typhoon as that's a Primo brand, and I would want to do something visually different with the face plate to further distinguish it from the T3. Not sure if it is OK to mention a design for sale (if not thanks to the mods for policing my post) but anyone interested in the design should drop me a line as mama can always use a new pair of shoes =)

In fact feel free to contact me about ANY design work...

[Moto450]

I would Love to have the Black & Red one, it match's everything in and on my case. Your new design is HOT and looks to be real durable. I can't wait to see the Dual Premium T3 version.

NICE WORK on the new ones.

Very nice indeed !
