Hi Benzaa, i speak German just a little bit. My nick name is German because many years ago, I have worked in Germany. One night, after drinking plenty of beer Weiss, my German friends began to call me Weisses. The name of the project is half English and the other half German because I enjoyed mix the two languages
Haha, nice story! Yeah, it sounds funny for me, i don't know how it sounds for an english native speaker. Is there a possibility to fix the sides at the lower part?
Now is the reservoir's turn A the beginnig of the project,in 2006, I planned to use two plexy tubes of 80 mm diameter but unfortunatly for me, today a solution like that is a standard one and you can find a reservoir tube in many systems. So i decided to realize something different!! It's a pleasure to show you the SPHERE. This half sphere 20 cm diameter arrived from plexishop. The base of the reservoir is a 24x24 cm mirrored plexy I marked the diameter I made 3 holes, respectively for: filling (top one) flow in (center) flow out (down) Starting from a 10mm plexy tube I made 3 pieces : 2 x 3 cm long 1 x 10 cm long These pieces will be the joint with the watrecooling circuit. Filling and flow out joint are fixed with acetylene glue Once the flow in joint was fixed I checked if the the half sphere fit well with plexy base. The flow in tube is longer than the others and is 2 cm away from the center of the sphere. Have you already understand how it' ll look like? The water coming from the flow-in tube will be pushed against the half sphere making a waterfall effect. There is no more left than put some glue to fix the hal sphere with the plexy base. Obviously I removed before the protective film I had to wait 24 hours before the glue is dry then I' ll do some checks to prevent leaks. In the next pic you can see the sphere mounted on the mobo tray (previuosly dirlled to hold the reservoir), the sleve on the main atx cable. The reservoir will be fixed at the tray with some screw (see cross marked on plexy) The motherboard is not the final one.... an Asus Crosshair Formula IV
This is looking like a seriously cool mod, love the mirrors and the angled mobo is different and the lighting affects on the lettering is wonderful...looking forward to watching this one develop...+rep
This is going to look seriously cool when its finished, hell its seriuosly cool now! +1 for the sphercial res
@maRiio: Thanks, i decided to realize different and innovative solution to realize the mobo tray and the reservoir. I'm so happy you like it
really nice, I mean the miror plexi with blue lights woaah... Your reservoir looks different too, can't wait to see it in use! Keep working, we are watching you
Amazing work on the sphere If I look at your case there are so many things which have never been done before. This will be unique
Here I am guys , back from holidays!! During the last weekend I take some time to plan the next step, the frame that will support the motherboard's panel. I bought 2 sqared bar 2 cm x 1 m long from which I get 4 pieces, 2 of them will hold up the mobo tray and the others 2 the panel below (made to stealth the cables and part of the cooling system). In the next pics you can see the 4 pieces. I put togheter two pieces in the right way, ready to be installed on the chassis Here you can see the work done in order to place the psu without problems Maybe it's not so clear, so have a look at the finale pictures starting from the rear side The top of the frame hold up the mobo tray and the bottom one is waiting for another plate ;-) Same solution for the front side in order to hold the reservoir I cutted two chromium aluminium bar to strengthen the structure made before, making at the same time a sort of frame. Here it is the internal frame completed Before going forward I think it's time to make the base of the case. Starting from a 3mm plexi plate I marked, with the adeshive tape, the zones to be cutted. This is the plate cutted with an electric jigsaw and refined with a file After drilling and threading the holes the plate is ready! Once in place, it looks like this Now it's the reservoir turn..... I made the "fixing holes" The screws "embedded" in the panel are nice so after some drilling I splayed the holes with my dremel Macro of the splayed hole This is the work done. You can see on the right the hole for the 24pin power cable Finally the reservoir fixed to the mobo tray with exagonal M3 screws The protective film will be removed later Rear view.... you can see the pneumatic joint coming from the reservoir A rear view showing the psu and the reservoir fixed Works planned for the next Week : - connecting the pump and power cables - finish the covering of the psu zone If everything it's ok I'll start the front of the case
Nice progress WeisseS , really liking how it's coming together, inspired me to have a little toy around with a slanty mount motherboard design, it's a very good idea & away from the norm & saves space & should be easy to manage for maintenance, this is going to be an awesome scratch build, I'm glued to this , can't wait to see the res in action, should be very .
