ABS/Tagan Black Pearl - evolution of a water-cooled rig

[shazza]

Thanks, guys and gals - I've got more fan controllers than I know what to do with. Plan to give the Koolance TMS-200 a go in this build.

Finally finished a bit of sleeving action:



First, the obligatory mdpc-x artwork:



(I'd like to know who sent Nils the photo of me in my nurse's outfit???)




Don't think I've posted this little gizmo before. I just hate cutting heat shrink - usually cut 50 pieces to get 24 that match up. Stole "The Chopper" from Lou's tools. He uses it to cut balsa and plastics for his RR models:



Didn't have anything convenient to use for my measuring stop, so swiped the glass from a small photo frame. Works great.




Cutting heat shrinks wasn't critical for my radiator lasso, but it will be helpful with the PSU cables. Finished up the radiator fans ... (there is a bit of reflection on the sleeving - had to shoot this inside, since it was nightime. None of the wires show through the sleeving)






Something you might be interested in - saw these at PPCs last week - round SATA data cables. Easier to route through the case than the flat ones. Would be great if the diameter was just a tad smaller - two do fit in the mobo SATA slots (one on top the other), but it is a squeeze.






And since we don't have a dog or cat, I'll share our local Sandhill Crane - one of a pair who come visit several times a day. They must be nesting now, because the male and female alternate. This guy watched me intently through the window as I was working on the fans:





Thanks for visiting.
