[boshuter]

Anytime before Christmas day

is it too late to join? I just got my new condensers in and am ready to get my build on!

P.S.what is the deadline?

Plenty of time

[piotres]

piotres... We have ounces to measure weight and ounces to measure volume.

Is the oil you used measured by weight or volume? Convert your mL to fluid ounces.

On sticker was 15 OZ, not fl.OZ, so I bet it's measured by weight .

[Polizei]

Weird... a liquid measured by weight.

My apologies.

[boshuter]

Weird... a liquid measured by weight.

My apologies.

It my be measured by weight in some part of the world, but I have my doubts about that even. Here at least, oil is measured and specified by volume, not weight. Just because it doesn't say "fl oz", doesn't mean its by weight, on my small cans of POE oil it says 8.5 OZ (.251 L); If it wasn't by volume, why would they put the metric equivalent in volume instead of weight?

Maybe thats why the oil seperator failed? hhhhhmmmm

[tim-]

well with specific oil density 8 fl oz and 8oz is almost the same.

I just checked the castel chart for oil seps, they have spec the oil amount in weight, strange.. damn italianos :p

Thought you were against all cooling method other than air cooling Dave?

they just recently brought Dave out of the dark ages with a Quad, and watercooling, so roughly he almost there, but still a bit to go, we will have him up to speed soon enough.

<<< Ducks back into his room @ the asylum before Dave gets back.
