    Have you got both aluminium and copper in contact with the fluid? Can't really tell from the photos.

    The fluid runs through 2 plexiglas plates with engraved grooves along the pump and radiator. Everything is copper! The fluid doesn't come into contact with the aluminium shell.

    So should be fine! :thumb:

    This has had me intrigued since the first render - it very nice to see the finished product living up to expectations.

    Congratulations on an excellent project.

    Looks really, really good.
    I have to admit, I had not fully grasped quite how small these things are - unless you have weirdly massive hands, I was expecting the case to be 1.5-2x as big in diameter. Makes the precision that much more impressive!

    Thanks guys :blush: ! Your enthusiasm really means the world to me :D !
    I'm glad you like the outcome! It is always a surprise what it will look like in the end. Ofcourse you try to make the design as you planned in the render, but you never know what kind of obstacles will pop up in the process.
    The diameter of the casing is 180mm so it is a very tiny case indeed! (@mockingbird; In the picture above I do have gigantic hands haha) I love the fact that it is really small and doesn't use up a lot of space on your desk!

    Thanks again for you support :D !!!

    All I can say is that if Bit does another NUC or similar contest, you'd better enter that one too. Got my vote also.

    Very nice Femke! I like the design, and the fluidity it has.

    I'm curious what you did for the I/O ports? I saw you had cut a hole out of the metal you formed for the bottom, but I never caught what you did with it.

    @Mos -She cut a big hole in the pan, and all the blue bits but the top stop at the board.

    Right Cheaps, I was just curious if she did anything with it like an I/O shield or if it's just open still, that's all.
