    Lol, good one. ;)

    What's the oval holes around the O in "Modmen" for? Just part of the logo, or do you have something cunning planned?

    Project is coming along great guys, a lot of innovation in the design.

    Out of curiosity, how much did the 2 inch thick clear acrylic cost?

    Thanks for watching the show guys! Glad you're enjoying it :D

    @Loose, LOL!

    @Nutman, those emulate the "o" having it's own fan grill. Good eye!

    @Gtek, thanks, your current project is KILLER btw!

    @nutman - I had to modify EEL's original logo because if you read 'Modmen' upside-down, it said 'new coW.'
    @Pedro - :lol: Welcome to Bittech.
    @Voigts - :blush:

    John reminds me... Are you going to polish any of this aluminum?:naughty:

    :lol: You are really into the Rush quotes! -Honest! My phone was in the van. It wasn't just the Rush documentary on TV.

    anyway...
    [​IMG]
    -The tape-and-glue-to-a-board technique worked too well on the waterblock core. I destroyed the board trying to get it free.
    [​IMG]
    -Oooh, blurry. This is &^*#@ frustrating.
    [​IMG]
    -The part required an overnight soak to get the MDF backing free.
    [​IMG]
    -Then it was re-mounted flipped over so I could cut the rest. You can see I drilled a tiny hole all the way through the middle. I used that to line up the cutter. The start of the 4 exit ports are visible too.

    Why this design? Is this for aesthetics? In terms of CPU block design goes, this is like the Maze4 era design, quite old imo. A i7 870 even OCed dosen't put too much heat, so I guess the design doesn't need the best performance. Either way, this should do better than high end air.

    As for the rest, looks good! [​IMG]

    Randy wanted to design it and since everyone brought their own creativity to the project, he did a great job! take into consideration he never designed one before and it suits our needs fine.

    Episode #3 is out today! :D
